This morning when I woke up I was sure that Sock would have her pups today. I took her over to see Deb who thought she was about a week away... and 3 hours later, 2 pups have arrived and Sock and her new puppets have been whisked away to Deb's place.
I will calmly watch the TV until 8.30 and then pack some stuff and go over there. Maybe I will stay the night.
I knew it! I knew she'd have them today. We know each other pretty well I guess. We spend at least 95% of our time together; apart from when she is waiting in the car while I do something, we are within a metre or so of each other all the time.
I am charging up the batteries for the camera and will post (probably endless) photos of the puppets and their Mom. (Oh, Iona - don't worry about bandwith, I am storing the images on a separate server and putting in an external link, so they are not counted as part of stonesoup's file total.)
Oh! Puppets! And a damp spot on the new duvet. Sigh. Puppets. *inane grin*
Congratulations!!

The pups are all doing so well. I had to help her a little with the first one, and apparently there was one other in a tricky presentation, but no need for trips to the vet or anything.
I had been doing a modified version of prenatal stretches and stuff with her, because she's a fairly fine-boned cocker spaniel. Also I had been massaging her behind with a small amount of olive oil, because it helps elasticity. She managed to deliver the one with a back-bone presentation without tearing, so I think it probably helped.
They are just so neat. I sit in the room with them and read my book while Sock lets them feed. In a week or so they will start trying to playfight with each other. They are very cute on their wobbly little legs and tiny mewing growls!
