Thanks everyone! Will try to take some more pics when i do some babysitting this evening

Gracie is being a fantastic mum, except she wont clean them to make them pee/poo! She's cleaning faces and bodies, but not bums. Cant say i blame her lol!

Congratulations to Gracie and Jess. The Pups are gorgeous and Gracie must be so relieved not to be carrying all that weight around in this weather.

Sad news…. We lost one of the babies last night

He was the smallest of the litter and he was a bit slower than the others with putting on weight but he was fighting on and doing well. But he dropped some weight a couple of days ago so we started giving him "top up" feeds from a bottle between his feeding from his mum. But yesterday he went downhill very fast and there was nothing the vets could do for him Gracie is very upset. She is really, properly grieving. She just keeps cuddling around her other babies when they're feeding, like a cat. Poor girl. We've only lost two other puppies before. I always find it so hard to lose them as you really do get attached to them...

RIP little man.

This is him a couple of days ago... So gorgeous...

[Janneke]

How sad.. I'm so sorry for your loss..

[thunderbird8588]

So sorry to hear about the loss of the little Pup, poor Gacie, give her a hug from me.

[Basenjimamma]

Oh, that is so sad. Give Gracie a hug from Otis and I and know that we will keep Gracie and the pups in our thoughts…

[moetmum]

Such sad news, I am so sorry you lost the little boy, big hugs to poor Gracie.
