my dog just had puppies
Friday night just gone
and sad in its way
being stillborn took one…
so young and so fragile
the colostrum was needed
couldn’t get one to grip
had a bit of trouble feeding
it was the little blue boy
the runt of the litter
heart of a lion
weak, but no quitter
prone to being jostled
due to his size
smaller than the others
but no lesser the prize
he took to the nipple
like a bull at a gate
and so did the others
no waste no wait
it was then he got pushed
and moved from his spot
his warmth and his meal
he lost the lot
so with a careful arranging
of a pup and a heat mat
got him on feeding again
got him going flat chat
wedged him in tight
between mum and his sibling
he's very content now
mewling, suckling and dribbling

Anyone want a ten month old Rottweiler? 😁👍
Pupdate: Lola is an arsehole - she loves rehoming pots plants, chasing and then cornering the cats but she fits right into this dysfunctional circus we have going here!
Last Update: We kept the little girl - and she is tenacious like her mum but so switched on (like her dad). She will be a very good guard dog eventually. I wish i could post a photo cause she is so cute!
Ooops....we kept the little girl! Her forever name is Lola!
8 Weeks tomorrow and they are going like threshing machines! Little Blue is now called Billy (as in Slater - go QLD!) Pick of the litter;- Charles is going Saturday to a little 10 yr old boy!!! The rest will write itself...
Day 28 All four are going like thrashing machines! They get their vaccination, microchip and vet check next week. The big girl has a mutant dew claw its almost like a dog thumb (she's the fastest one of the lot). Had to move them to the sectioned off section of the laundry as they kept climbing out of the whelping box pretty much as the pleased.
All four pups are doing so well.
Update: Day 10 Little Blue is being supplemented with a bottle and is getting stronger everyday. His siblings are huge and thier eyes will open in tbe next couple of days. Polly is being the best mum and doing really well herself
So sweet! It’s good that you helped the troubled puppy. Some need help sometimes and it doesn’t cost much, but it’s changing lives. How many is there? Do they have the names already? Is it not a Patterdale Terrier breed? I have stories about dogs too, I wish to have one, but I don’t think I can.
