I hope it all goes well for Gracie, lots of pics please!
We met some adorable pug pups at Blackpool on the caravan park.

She seems to have settled back down now after giving me a little scare yesterday (i was sure she was going to have them last night - on her birthday!!) so maybe she will go to her due date!
My mum is looking at buying a caravan for the shows next year so she can make a weekend of it for each of them and take all the dogs along… So i keep getting dragged around Caravan showrooms...!! Will be nice to know some people at the caravan parks for if we do go though! Maya will love it im sure.

You will love caravanning (the dogs will too), my daughter and I spent many a weekend trawling caravan showrooms! You will meet lots of people, you don't need to know anyone, I should think it would be good for you with the different breeds. I have found that people will offer help, especially when I am on my own, a lovely man with a Winnebago helped us put up the awning in the wind!
We met someone who had 16 Siberian huskies, a GSD and a Lurcher with them also someone with 10 Chi's, the Pugs owners also had Papillons and French bulldogs, you wouldn't believe there were hundreds of dogs on site, it was so quiet.

My dogs LOVE the caravan. They get excited in the car as they can see 'the big white thing' following us! :)

We did have an Airstream for all of three months in our driveway. We never used it, ended up selling it on Ebay..one day though I want one again..it looks like so much fun, especially for the kids and dogs. on day..
Keeping my fingers crossed Gracie is doing OK. -

Well done Gracie!
That seems a lot of puppies for a small dog, no wonder she looked so huge. Is that a normal number for pugs?

Its not unheard of, but its certainly a large litter for a pug. Generally they will have 3-4 in a litter. Just keeping fingers crossed they all pull through as the first few days are such a worry with pugs. They are all very active (and vocal!!) and all feeding well so a good start at least.

Thanks all!
Im not sorry i missed it - far too messy and traumatic lol!!
She certainly didnt wait. Yesterday evening when i left there were no signs of imminent birth at all. I guess she just got sick of carrying the little monsters around :D

The temperature today is almost unbearable - it is SO hot. She is certainly happier not carrying all that extra weight around!!
Gracie has lived at my mums for nearly a year now. She and Delilah, my female pug, do not get on at all. They cant be in the same room without trying to kill each other!! Very sad as they were inseperable til Gracie was about 18 months.
