the Race that STOPS a Nation......

Hope everyone is having a good day on this gorgeous Melbourne Cup day.....Hubby got 2nd place with his pickings!

Well FINALLY the puppies were born very VERY quickly last night. In 2.5hrs she'd had 7 pups....YES 7! 6 boys and 1 girl would you believe...she was a gem throughout her labour and happily let me help her (she kept laying on them!) boy oh boy did they come out fast - the poor dog. Sadly 1 was born deformed so he had to be put to sleep....and I most certainly cried my heart out....the vet wasn't sure he would be able to walk and he had swelling of the brain and his hips weren't formed properly - my oh my did I sob at the vets and the whole way home whilst sitting in the back with mums dog and puppies. I so dearly wanted to save that little boy - he was adorable.....shall post some pics when I'm back home. I tell you what, I'm absolutely exhausted beyond belief right now...thank heavens the monsters are at their other nan's house today as she wanted them for a sleep over and also to give me a break.....

Can't wait to head home at the end of this week and hopefully HOPEFULLY my copics will have arrived by then!!! YAY! Now I just need to make some more blogging friends to help me with techniques etc lol....

anywho have a great day all

yay but that is so sad about the little guy. Better to put him to sleep at this tender age than later in life I suppose.

Hope you have your Copics. I want to buy more and more LOL. So addictive once you have them
