Violet went into labour very early this morning (3am) She delivered the first Pup at 6.30am and continued until about Lunchtime producing a lovely litter of Eight Pups.

Mum and Pups are doing well.

All the Pups get weighed every day to ensure they are all getting sufficient milk.

Above, from Left to Right are the 4 Girls.

Miss Humbug, Miss Haggis, Miss Chilli and Miss Fig.

Below, from Left to Right are the 4 Boys.

Mr Bean, Mr Nugget, Mr Ice and Mr Chips.

A week old tomorrow

A right bundle of mischief

All the Pups get their nails clipped regularly, this is to prevent Mum's undercarriage getting badly scratched whilst the Pups are feeding.

Sad News

It is with great sadness that we have to report that Miss Fig sadly passed away today. She had been struggling to gain any weight even with supplemental bottle feeding every 2 Hours she lost her brave fight today. R.I.P.

All the Pups now have their eyes open. They still get weighed daily but now at Two Weeks Old they are too big for the smaller scales so we are using "Baby" Scales to weigh them.

Above, from Left to Right are the 3 Girls. Miss Humbug, Miss Haggis and Miss Chilli.

Below, from Left to Right are the 4 Boys. Mr Bean, Mr Nugget, Mr Ice and Mr Chips.

Pups have all now Doubled their Birth weights, they spend all day feeding, playing and sleeping

Mr Bean has a new best buddy (Mr Camel)

Hey, who said you could kiss me?

OK, so that's agreed then, we don't tell the others.

Lean on me

Were supposed to be making a Circle

We like to introduce our Puppies to everyday sounds like the TV and vacuum cleaner etc. We also like to get them used to being around Children, Matthew & Lucas were more than happy to help us with that today.

Now the Pups are Three Weeks Old they have started on solid food.

Puppies feeding

The Pups have now had their first dose of Wormer, as you can see, they were not impressed. Pup above Right even tried to get out of it by pretending to be a Bird.

We are SO well behaved at mealtime

Well, most of us are!

We can smell the food, where is it?

Puppies are now Four weeks old, they still get weighed daily

Our First trip out in the car

Hope were going somewhere nice.

Were at the Vets, I heard them talking about Chips so I think we might be getting food.

Don't look, the Chips

are not for eating!!

It's time for the obligatory group photograph.

You may have noticed that there are only Six of us.

You know who is asleep as usual.

Whats been going on here?

Too late, you missed it as usual.

Because of "You know who"

we have had to do it all over again

Mr Chips is now Eight weeks old and it's time for him to go to his new home. First a nice bath so that he looks his best and then a rub dry. Just before he leaves us his Yellow Ribbon Collar is cut off then it's into the car with his new family, Don't they all look happy. Goodbye Mr Chips.

Mr Chips is now known as Bailey

Look what I found when I got to my new home, this is my new big Brother Alfie. We are going to get up to So much mischief together.

Alfie also makes a pretty comfortable pillow too

Same routine for Miss Chilli, Bath (which she wasn't too sure about) a cuddle and dry which she definitely did enjoy, the cutting of her ribbon which she didn't even notice and then into the car with her very happy new owners. Bye bye Chilli.

Number Three to go was Miss Haggis, She was quite happy in the bath and she enjoyed her rub down with a towel. A quick snip with the scissors and her collar was off and she changed from being Miss Haggis to Poppy

And then there was Four

Today it was Mr Beans Turn, He wasn't too sure about the bath but he definitely liked the cuddle in the towel. A quick snip of the ribbon and Mr Bean is now Ernie. Looking at him in the car with his new owners, he is going to be just fine.

And then there were Three

Today it is Nuggets turn to fly the nest. From Left to Right:-
Come on in, the water is lovely. This is Mummy No.2 drying me after my bath. and now she is cutting my lovely Golden collar. In the car with my New Mummy, I'm going to be just fine.

Just the Two of us now. (Mr Ice Left & Miss Humbug Right)

Weather is better now so we can play outside today.

Time for Mr Ice to leave now. Not too sure about the Bath, Loved the towel dry, Looking a bit worried having his ID Collar removed (Will now go by the name Murphy) Looking forward to his ride home with his excited new owners.

It's Humbugs turn today. She was very good in the bath and loved being Towel dried.
Wasn't too sure about having her Collar cut off but soon settled down with New Mummy in the car.

All very quiet now at Hilsgolden.
Good luck to all the new owners and thank you for following the progress of this litter.
