Introducing our new little bundle of cuteness!

Hello there, this is going to be a quick post from me, as I am stupidly tired.......so we'd worked out that our Daisy was due to have her litter around about Friday, well, by teatime yesterday it became very clear that she was in the early stages on labour. The hubby was going to sleep downstairs beside her, and I went off to bed at about 11ish, only to be woken up just over an hour later, by Alistair (very excitedly) telling me that the first puppy had just arrived, so that was me up again! We waited and watched and waited some more expecting to see more arrivals but time went on and nothing was happening - as far as Daisy was concerned she was relaxed and calm and nursing her new pup, but we were getting anxious so eventually phoned an "out of hours" vet service. We were told to take her away from the puppy and walk her around for a bit, as that would get things moving (if there were any more pups to come) or otherwise monitor her closely for distress and other such signs. So, at this point both Daisy and the puppy have got through the day seemingly fine - she has nursed the puppy really well and she seems fine in herself, so we will just have to wait and see. The vet did say that it is feasible for a dog to have one single pup, especially as she is only a little lady herself, they only mated the once and it was right at the end of her season. I will keep you all posted anyway. But for now, I couldn't go off to bed without sharing a picture of Daisy and "Jack" (as in the rhyming slang , on my Jack, 'cos he was on his own!)
