YAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

I'M PREGNANT!!!!!!
A scan lastnight confirmed 5 beautiful babies, although this isnt cast in stone, it could be theres a surprise one lurking in there. How beautiful are they...look






I had my maternity trim today and I am ready to go, well not quite another 29 days if we go by Mummy's dates and 31 by the scans dates.
My nipples are darkening and very large now and from here I may develop a clear discharge this is NORMAL but should it blood stained, green or smelly I should see a vet straight away. I am still a little quiet but eating well, lots of chicken and rice and this week Mummy has started me on some puppy food as this is high in calories. I still like a walk and its important I get one, but I dictate how far and fast we go. The others are being very good with me and dont rough play like they used to, its like they know without even being told whats happening, not sure how Ginge will feel about being a big brother!

PUPPIES:

Should be making pregnancy obvious now with a little bump in an average sized litter. Eyes and Ears have developed and the toes have seperated.

Day 28....scan fast approaching :)

Hello Mums not feeling too great so Nana asked me to write this week. I'm Ginge, Mummy had me last year. I think she maybe having brothers and sisters for me to play with :) Mums been acting a bit odd to say the least, she kept being sick and didnt really wanna play :( she didnt even tell me off when I ran around the garden with a frog! Its like she doesnt have the energy. Mum hasnt eaten much and if Nana goes out of the room she gets well upset, crying and whining until she comes back in. She used to sleep with us but doesnt now, Nana fusses over her and she gets to sleep on the bed!!!

Not that much is going on on the outside but on the inside LOTS is happening...puppies would have implanted in the uterus and will be developing fast. Usually you dont see any signs that Mummies are pregnant before 35 days. Nana is convinced Mummy has a bump...what do you think?






In the second picture you can see Mummy has started to lose a bit of hair from around the nipple, which is handy coz us pups get REALLY hungry and the last thing we need to be doing is spitting out hair while having our dinner! Mummy has a scan next Tuesday, Nana is nervous and excited all at the same time! It could be Mummy is having a false pregnancy, some Mummy's suffer badly with them some even think they are in labour and produce milk. So until the scan we shall just have to wait and see. There is a hormone test that the vet can do which would detect pregnancy but its a blood test and very invasive, Nana prefers as little intervention as possible, a scan is ideal, it cant tell you exactly how many puppies an xray would do that and Mummy could have one at 45 days at the vets. Mummy wont though unless the vet suggests that she needs one.

PUPPIES:
Will look a bit like this....



Babies are around an inch long. Around 30 days the eyes that were open till now will close and you can see if they are boys like me or girls. All the organs of the body are fast forming.

Because of the scan next weeks blog will undoubtedly be early if Mummy is pregnant....

Lots of Love and Licks

21 days and an Ante Natal visit......

I am 21 days today :) I have shown some signs of pregnancy this week. I dont like to jump up on the bed or bounce about for a fuss like I would usually. I'm eating far less this week, it could be because of the heat though. I am eating chicken and rice and some Eukanuba. I pick rather than eat it in one go like I would usually.
Mummy took me to see the dreamy vet, he fusses me sooooo much and I love it! There was another dog waiting there too and I got all excited and yappy, wagging my tail, I dont usually. I am very good when we walk and see other doggies but I feel all out of sorts, which is normal in pregnancy.
The vet checked me over and said he was very happy with my condition, my weight is ideal and he gave me the all clear. Its a little to early to feel if there are any puppies yet, usually its 27 days, its so important that you let a experienced person palpate, if you dont know what you are doing you could hurt the puppies and harm their development.




From this week strenuous activity should be refrained from, no jumping about or long walks. Some breeders will give cottage cheese or scrambled egg from this week, but no calcium supplements.

PUPPIES:
My babies  grow from being 5-10mm to 14-16mm, the faces start to take shape, eyes and the spinal cord are developed, its hard to believe that just a couple of weeks ago there was just a bunch of cells floating about, now they are full on tiny tiny babies :)

See you next week when Mummy will have listened in with a doppler and the countdown for my scan picks up pace....13 days <3 Keep safe and cool doggies :)

Mileys Progress - Day 15





 This is me at what we hope is my 11th day of pregnancy, it was a beautiful weekend and I got to go to the car boot with Mum and Dad.
 As we write this I am 15 days pregnant, we assume that I am even before the scan. There are several reasons for this, the main one being for the sake of my health, its important that my diet remains the same, that I don't receive live vaccinations throughout the duration of my pregnancy. Flea and worm treatments should also be avoided but there are some that are safe to use in pregnancy, ALWAYS do it under veterinary supervision, luckily for me this was a planned mating with Bailey Boy, I was vet checked before I was mated to further ensure I was healthy. My vaccinations are up to date and I was wormed and had a flea prevention treatment PRIOR to mating. No extra vitamins are needed at this stage and even though I have tried telling them that a N.I.C.E biscuit is essential for my developing puppies, they are having none of it ;) I am continuing to have my walks so my muscles will be in tip top condition for labour. If I were to be exposed to anything nasty, like infection or toxins it would affect my babies, so Mummy is very careful.
There are some signs that I maybe pregnant, as with humans we doggies also suffer with morning sickness from time to time, not everyone does. Last night I was very restless, I just couldn't settle, this morning I awoke and refused breakfast up until now I have eaten everything in sight. It is normal for us ladies to go off our food and as long as we eat little and often we will be fine, this is the only time Mummy will hand feed me! I was sick too this morning, I have brightened up as the day as gone on.
Another sign is behaviour changes...I adore my Mummy anyway but recently if I cant see her I get quite upset, it soothes me to have her near, my body is going through so many changes right now I am a bit confused by it all. Some ladies go the opposite way and want to be left alone, but I want a fuss from EVERYONE!
My vulva has stayed a little swollen and I finished my heat earlier than I would usually, this is often a good sign that the mating has been successful. My nipples are also enlarged and turning a darker pink....we attached a picture, Mummy had this same obsession  last time! so apologies for her behaviour, thank goodness she didn't go lower!



*paw over eyes* How embarrassing!
PUPPIES:
My babies have now entered the uterus and are in the process of implanting. This is a very delicate time for the babies an its thought that if I am left open to any toxins it would be at this point my babies would develop abnormally.

Our care remains the same and wont change until next...I'll explain more then :) So I'm off for a nap on Mummy's bed....because being pregnant is the only time I get away with it ;) See you next week :)

10 days in.....






I dont look like I have changed much do I? On the outside no but with any amount of luck lots of changes are taking place inside.
I have become a bit lazier and quiet. I still go mad when I see Mummy in the mornings, but I dont jump up as much as I used to. I will see a vet in another 10 days and she will feel my tummy and see if my uterus is swollen, she may even be able to feel the outline of my growing babies, they will feel like marbles. On day 28 we will have a scan to confirm pregnancy and possibly give us an idea of how many I will have.
Right now the cells have seperated going from 4 to 64, they are entering the uterus as we speak and in the next 10 days will implant in the uterus.
Am I showing signs I might be? yes...along with being slightly lazier than usual, my heat has ended a little earlier than it would normally. I am still a bit swollen in the lady area. These are subtle signs that I maybe. Mummy is making sure my diet is exactly right and today I ate scrambled egg, I usually hate it, I dont know who was more surprised me or Mummy when I produced a clean bowl!!! I might start to have a bit of morning sickness, I did last time and that means just one thing RICE & CHICKEN! Get in! I love the stuff. My food doesnt need to be increased just yet we have a while to wait. At the moment I am just lapping up the fuss.....

Love is in the air......

Bailey & Miley   
Meet Bailey and Miley. Beautiful aren't they, I would say he has been a gentleman and wined and dined her before mating with her, but he hasnt ;) straight down to the job in hand and a pigs ear after and they are both happy. We don't take breeding lightly, it's only for the strong and determined. You have to develop a very thick skin and learn to ignore peoples blind attitudes. I dont breed for money, I breed for the love of the breed. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are the most loving dogs, loyal and gentle, ideal family pets. If it was because you make lots of money everyone would be doing it. Sadly there are people who look at the adverts and go, "Wow look at how much each puppy is worth! times that by 5 they must be making a killing! Lets give it ago" Not the case, if your doing it properly.....theres a pre breeding check (for both the Dam and the Sire), an ante natal, a scan, a 24 hour after whelping check and a 8 week check at the VERY least! Not enough people look into it and research it, they take no notice of the temperment of the dog and very often have little or no whelping and heating facilities. Set your self up for heart break too, that way you'll be over the moon if all goes well. Expect to lose a puppy, prepare yourself you may even lose the Mum. Hand rearing are you able to cope with that, two hourly feeds DAY AND NIGHT! stimulation is time consuming if hand rearing, you need to stimulate to wee and poo. As they get older open them up to new sounds, experiences, toys and people. Puppy Farmers will often breed back to back deliberately, they may be lept in kennels or they may even try to disguise the pound signs by saying "we have ours indoors with us", usually kept in dirty conditions, with little or no stimulation. They dont care about the dog, "yeah its got a hernia but thats alright" give us the cash and take the dog, because to the farmer thats what its about....the cash. A genuine breeder will give you a full history on the dog and put right anything found after. For instance, if I had a puppy born with a hernia, I would deduct the cost of the operation at the very least, and have it written into the contract that the dog shouldnt be bred from, if I find it has I'll come and take puppy back! The contracts are legally binding despite others claiming otherwise. People often dont research breeding, the genetics even when breeding for pets are so important, you wouldnt want to bring into the world a puppy who could pass down a genetic disease or defect. You dont just stand and watch and off they go. You need to make sure you can give your girl the very best nutrition and a calm environment, I wont leave the house after day 56, puppies could be born at anytime after that. Usually day 63. Miley had 8 last year and she delivered on day 61. I've seen puppies advertised where the name of the breed or the colour cant be spelt correctly, why on earth breed if you cant research first!  I could rant all day but I wont bore you....I'll just tell you the exciting events of the last few days...

Bailey came to stay, Miley was on Day 10 of her season and showing signs of wanting to mate, now supervising a mate was a first for us, we had never done it before on our own, assisted in other mates and seen them so we knew what to do. Luckily Bailey is an experienced boy and knows what he needs to do. The first mate was successful and resulted in 15 minute tie. During this time Miley was a little fidgety but its important to ensure she stays as still as possible. Her last mate will be tomorrow and then 28 days from there she will be scanned to see if we have any puppies on the way, we're all very excited.....I have the whelping kit ready which is quite complex, it includes Dopram V to stimulate the puppies should they need help breathing. Nutri drops to help puppies struggling to gain weight and Liquid Life to aid re hydration. Two Heat Pads, one has an adaptor to use in the car, should we have to dash to the vet mid delivery. Forceps to tie off the cords, these along with the scissors, cotton wool balls and gauze are sterile packed. Gloves, KY Jelly. Thermometer, torch the list is endless. Needless to say we are covered for every eventuality.....I will post the progress of Mileys hoped for pregnancy and pictures as it progresses, hopefully from Day 25 we may be able to hear little heart beats through a doppler..
Remember a GOOD breeder has a good knowledge of the breed they are producing, an extensive whelping kit, and hide NOTHING! Their puppies are well socialised and happy and playful.....ALWAYS insist on seeing the Mother with the puppies.

Keeping Cool when its HOT...HOT...HOT

Man its hard in this heat when you cant take your coat off!
There are lots of ways to help us keep cool in this heat. We pant to regulate our temperatures and sweat a little from our paw pads. In this weather though we can easily get heat stroke and once our temperature reads over 106 our bodies can go into shock, the damage can be pernament and we could die! As a dog I do advocate over use of the thermometer, we all know where it goes...
Obviously the humans use fans, which is fine for lazying around in, but its not all that fun is it!

We love it when Mum puts ice cubes in the water...Tianna loves taking them out and tossing them around the kitchen, its even funnier when a human steps on one, they jump on one leg (it's strange enough they walk on two!) they do this funny song too :) and we adore the garden hose game...Mum or Dad hold the hose and sprinkle it about the garden, its so much fun we run in and out of the spray getting soaked. They love it when we shake all over them...well perhaps they dont,  but we love it! We also love the shade, its cooler there and we try not to run around too much.

So you humans do all that but we still seem hot, panting heavily, unable to get up. We have dark gums and our saliva is thick. Perhaps we seem dizzy too, all this points to heat stroke and needs to be dealt with quickly. Move us out of the sun and into the shade, cool us down by placing cool cloths or towels on us especially the paws. Please dont give us iced water or very cold water if you suspect heatstroke as it can cause us to go into hypothermia. We do need to see a vet to because the internal effects of heatstroke might not always be apparent straight away.

Its cooling off now so we're off for some tea and a play....see you soon and stay safe :)

Tianna becomes a Lady

Its been awhile since we posted. Mummy's not been too well of late. Daddy has given up work to look after her and us, he has had his work cut out hee hee.
Roxy has arrived to stay, bit of a shock no one was expecting another one, least of all Daddy, but Mummy fell in love, shes a bit of a tinker but adorable. This is us (Tianna& Roxy) having our picture taken...





Her partner in crime is Spencer, who at almost 6 months is a stunning boy. Heres them just chilling....



exhausting work, chasing one another around the kitchen...the front room...the garden....then the kitchen again...and occasionly tearing up the stairs.

I have for a few days been feeling a bit off colour, off my food which is so not like me and a bit narky...Mummy discovered why today, my tummy has been somewhat errr shall we say delicate resulting in what we can only describe as a very smelly bum. Mummy was checking to see if I was "clean" how humiliating! and discovered that I am now a lady!! all growed up...welll nearly. At 9 1/2 months I have come into season, my very first :) everyone is very excited, the sad thing is I cant go near the boys without my "special pants" on now, I so hope she doesnt walk me like that! It will be Mileys turn soon and then she will go and stay with her boyfriend for a few days. The vet has cleared her to have babies, we're all very excited and before you know it it will be my turn.....x

Monty Has Gone Missing...Can You Help?

Hello,

We are writing today for help. We know lots of people with doggies and are trying to help a special family who have lost theirs. Monty is just 8 months old, he is fluffy and gorgeous. He was last seen with two lads who claimed they were ringing the RSPCA, to date no one as phoned in and his family are besides themselves with worry.

We are posting a link and hoping that someone will see it and get in touch, Mummy and we say please share with anyone and everyone. His family adore him and waited a long time for him, to have him taken is devastating for them.

Love and Licks

Miley, Ginge, Tianna & Spencer x

The Old People....

Well blow me down if Mummy didnt decide to walk me today, not unusual, but for 40 minutes!! Good Dog I nearly keeled over!, Mummy isnt very well but does walk us whenever she can otherwise its left to the little people, who are very good, we're allowed to run on the lead with them. Daddy works part time so he can look after Mummy. He was at work today and a lady there used to love Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and used to have them but she isnt allowed anymore. So Mummy thought it would be nice if I went to see her.

We walked across the fields, it was lovely so many lovely things to smell I loved it! I even found some fox poo! which Mummy said I wasnt to roll in, what a spoilsport!!

 Fields for miles and miles around.......
 This is me having a sniff, I walked beautifully today!
A beautiful blue sky!

We got to Daddy's work and I met the manager, she doesnt like dogs, she is scared so I layed down and didnt go near her, Mummy was very proud of me. We went into the lounge where several residents were having an afternoon cup of tea. I was instantly a big hit I was fussed alot. Ann was lovely she cant speak very well but her smile said it all. Dorothy was sat in the chair and her face lit up, Mummy took me over to her and she fussed me, she bent her head down for me to kiss which I duly obliged a great big wet one too, she smiled and fussed me. When it was time to go she made Mummy promise to bring me back! A good day all in all.

Tianna v The DogFather

Hi ya All,

This is me...Tianna, beautiful arent I? I am 6 months old, I adore lazing around and getting Ginge in trouble...but ssssshhhhhh dont tell Mummy that!

Its been quiet here, Spencer has settled in nicely, Miley has been good and Ginge and I have had lots of fun play fighting and taking Mummy and Daddy for a drag to the park. We are so skilled at the dragging to the park that we can get the whole family to do it....until today and I am not best happy I can tell you, it all started like this.......

It started a nice normal day, the small humans came down and set about eating bowls of food at a table, yes I know a table, why they cant use the floor like the rest of us is beyond me! Daddy then came down and gave us ours, pretty normal up to now right down to going out in the garden to do our business. This whole time Dad is wittering on about how Graeme is going to sort us out, no idea what it meant but to be honest wasnt all that bothered, humans are so easy to get round. Just as Mummy and Daddy sat down with their tea it all changed....everything! In comes Graeme, well he seemed so lovely it would have been rude for me not to jump all over him, he didnt like it one jot and pushed us away...yes you read right pushed us away!! I mean how could he we are just gorgeous, everyone says so! I tried it a few more times because bless him he couldnt have known what he was doing, its not his fault after all he is human. But no he was pretty adamant that I wasnt allowed to jump all over him, was slightly annoyed when he went even further and told Mummy and Daddy to do the same when we did it to them. After a little while I started to get it, I trotted over with my prettiest face and sat in front of him, all I wanted to do was say Hello, and then BINGO! he did it he fussed me, boy I was so happy I wanted to jump up all over again, but obviously I wouldnt be able to make him fuss me if I did that!
Mummy and Daddy discussed our walks and how we get to drag them, Ginge and I love it its a great game, so when my lead came out I was MEGA excited YAY the dragging game!!! No...not allowed to drag either. He kept flicking his wrist so my collar tugged everytime I tried to run in front OMG it was annoying, so in the end I got him to walk nicely. If I am honest it was a much nicer walk, Mummy wasnt mad at all, still kept getting that irrating tug, but unbeknowns to them I have sorted that, I just walk nicely that way they cant do it, wonder how long it will take them to work that out!

All in all I am an exhausted girlie, and Ginge is an exhausted boy we have been sleeping in the kitchen ever since, so its goodnight from me and goodnight from him.

Ginge's Big Day

MY BIG DAY....

My name is Ginge....handsome arent I? I look just like my Dad :)

My human Mummy decided that it was time for me to be neutered. For two reasons really, I live with my doggy Mummy and I had been trying to get very friendly with her recently and when she had her season it was very difficult for us to be kept apart, some special knickers for my doggy Mummy were ordered and it was all go we could run around together again!

The main reason though was because both my tesicles had retracted up into my tummy. It does happen sometimes, being told at your puppies testicles havent descended yet, isnt always all doom and gloom, however if after 6 months they havent dropped then the vet will always suggest a castration. It is unlikely that after 6 months of age they will drop. So many complications can occur, tumours can develop and because this is an inherited condition dogs with it should not be allowed to breed.

The day before I had my tea at 6pm and  later on a drink at midnight and then that was it nothing...not even a sniff of a sausage! By morning I was starving but still nothing! We headed off early and the nurse gave me lots and lots of fusses. Next thing I remember is waking up feeling all woozy. I tried to lick where it hurt but the nurse who was previously so nice to me put a buster collar on....how on earth am I going to get in mischief with that on! I did manage to make it snow in my cage though....well ok so it didnt snow I had actually ripped apart my wee wee pads, but it did look pretty.

Mummy came to collect me and I went home with painkillers and special food. I was so woozy I had to be carried out, I did however manage to perk up long enough for a fuss from a passer by and a toy!! I LOVE TOYS! tug toys, squeaky toys, I dont care as long as its a toy! The next few days were very restful, I was back to my bouncy self by the next day, but I wasnt allowed off the lead at all or on it for long, Tianna was most upset that we couldnt play, but it was safer while the scars were healing. Because of where my testicles where located I had two scars, in some cases the testicle can be found as far up as the kidney area, lucky for me Leonard (the vet) didnt have to dig about too much.

I am already calmer and havent felt the need to mount everything in sight, Tianna and doggy Mummy didnt mind but Bear the Cat was less than impressed when I mounted him before!

Attractive shot eh? But this is me two weeks post op....you can barely tell! yes the operation was more expensive it cost Mummy £209, but it was worth it to ensure I stayed healthy. Also not being put up for stud I have no need for them anyway and left uncastrated I could have developed cancerous tumours and other dieases.
I am back to stealing pigs ears and Mummy said its the best thing she could have done for me.

Love and Licks

Spencers Diary.

Thursday 10th March:
A lovely lady came to pick me up today, I have found out she is my new Mummy, I quite liked the old one to be honest so to say I am a little scared is an understatement. I have a new blanket with my name on to travel home in. The man who drove me back was going to work so I didnt get chance to play with him, but I did get chance to give his laces a quick tug before he left, he is my new Daddy.

Friday 11th March:
Lots going on today, there are 6 humans in my new family and three other dogs just like me! They are much bigger than I am and very bouncy. I didnt settle at all well lastnight, Mummy gave me a warm fluffy lion to snuggle and a scarf and I eventually went to sleep. My crate is next to Mummy's bed and I have mats to go pee on, I havent missed yet and everytime I "go" the humans get very excited! How Strange!. One of them has a "birthday" she has a friend over and I have had lots and lots of fuss, I like fuss, I also like growling behind the puppy pen at the other doggies and when I get let out to play I like to run away and hide behind someones legs!

Saturday 12th March:
No Poo, its a big thing if you listen to the humans, they have phoned the vets and I have to poop before Monday or the vet will want to see me. There are lots of reasons why I havent, most likely its the stress of moving homes, its all so big away from my doggy Mum, and sometimes we react to the change. Some puppies have the opposite problem and poop all the time. I have been off my food a little too. Its been a nice quiet day today. I have been chillin in my pen, had a run around with the other dogs.

Sunday 13th March:
Man that was scary!! Mummy wrapped me in a blanket and took me to Camden Market, it'll be good for your socialisation she said. LOTS of people wanted to fuss me but Mummy was very firm and only let a few fuss me, we met someone who had 4 Cavaliers one in each colour whatever that means! They were lovely. I got very tired and fell asleep for the rest of the wander. The humans had chinese which smelled gorgeous and I pinched some of Mums chicken. On the way back we saw a shop called "Yuppy Puppy" Mum got very excited and started shrieking that Dad should stop and let us go in, Dad said it would be less expensive if we didnt.

Monday 14th March:
Ok this socialising thing is hardwork, we met Cains Mummy today and went to WIllen Lake for a carry. All four of us went, the others were on a lead and sniffing EVERYTHING! I wanted to get down and help them but Mummy said not until your jabs have finished, eeekkk! Jabs I dont like the sound of that word! I have my first one on Wednesday, its tough growing up!

This is me snuggled up in my doggy bag at Willen Lake x


Me sleeping the hectic day off by the fire!

A bit about ourselves

We are a family of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Our names are Miley, Ginge, Tianna & Spencer. We live with our human family, The Baxters in a sleepy village in Northamptonshire. Our favourite pass times are many and vary between each of us. For instance, I (Miley) love curling up next to Mummy and snoring my head off, usually when she's trying watch something. I am the reason there are four of us....Saturday April 4th 2009 was a sad day for my Mummy, she used to have a Yorkshire Terrier called Holly, she rescued her from a man who beat her with a broom, paper shoe anything, he wasnt fussy. Sadly the abuse she suffered left her emotionally scarred and she bit a man in the street for no reason. Mummy rang round for 4 hours trying to find someone who would take her, it wasnt the first time she had bitten but this was unprovoked in the street, he simply walked past. No one would help and she was sent to Rainbow Bridge. It broke her heart and she swore blind she would never have another dog. Nathan the youngest human here was distraught and it was because of him that they came to my London home. We were so excited to see them, they looked a lovely family. Nathan laid on the floor and me and my 5 brothers and sisters jumped all over him, licking him. I jumped into his arms and he took me to Mummy, she feel in love with me and took me home! I am blowing my own trumpet when I say I am a good dog, very pretty and I behave (OK well...sometimes anyway) I settled in lovely and it was like I had never been away. I met Charlie last year, he is from The Lack Family who are owned by http://www.crackingcavachons.com/ he is a dreamy Ruby Cavalier Stud dog and I went to stay for a few days, we hit it off and 61 days later I had my own litter of babies...8!! 6 boys, 2 girls. One by one they all went to their homes until only Ginge was left, I love my boy so much that Mummy and Daddy agreed he could stay, he looks just like his Dad! We were then joined by Tianna, she is two weeks younger than Ginge and eats everything in sight!! I think she is beautiful and treat as though she was my own, shes very bouncy like Ginge and they are often chewing things they shouldnt or curled up asleep together. Its hoped that Tianna will have babies too, I am going to see Charlie again this year and hopefully have some more beautiful puppies. Mummy is very particular about our health tests and we see a vet regulary. Tianna has to pass her health tests before she can be considered for breeding. And finally Spencer, he is very little and sooo cute. One day he will be my boyfriend. We can all be found at http://www.homegrowncavaliers.com/ where Mummy puts details of any new litters for sale and what she is looking for in a forever home. Only the best for our babies here.

This is Charlie and I last year, see I told you he was dreamy.


Tianna is here on the left and Ginge (my boy) is on the right.


And Spencer on the way to his new home, he has been spoilt, the eldest human child is nutty about him!
So thats it for now, I will tell you all about Ginge's operation in my next blog. See you all soon...Daddy has left his slippers unattended ;)
