Joy's black boy. Photos of the others coming up but difficult when the lighting is bad, and the flash ruins them and it's too cold to take them outdoors.

Joys at 20 days. Somewhat overweight - definitely not starting egg-custard yet.

JOY, looking pained, having just been ticked off for stealing some items off the table and destroying them. Thank goodness I'd removed my camera !

Joy's four babies are doing too well. O.K., O.K., I'm never 100% satisfied but between puppies not putting on enough weight and those putting on too much . . .the happy medium is missing.

Pink, Black and Red are the girls. Yellow the boy. Obviously I'm talking about the collars not the coats !□

Joy's whelping became something of a tragedy. She lost two of the 8 whelps, who were born dead. This can happen. (posterior presentation + excessive size) But what I've never had before is losing two more, one at 24 hours and the other at 3 days. Their temperatures dropped to 33° and despite keeping them against my skin under the cachemire sweater for hours, which brought the temperatures back up between 36,6° and 37,3°, despite intubing - neither survived. The four others are doing well.
And a million thanks to Alain Fontbonne for his constant care, telephone calls, advice, concern and implication. Who better to encourage and console . . . .

Since on day 2 Joy's babies have put on an extraordinary 93 grams each (average) . . . Joy has adopted "Remedy For Blues" (yes, that's his official name) for a shared motherhood.

Joy's now stabilised with her five, growing well. Sad, so sad to have lost 3 but one has to get over it and move forward. Big surprise when doing the first weighing last evening to find another error (probabaly due to my failing eyesight). The first-born (black) whom I grabbed out of her mouth at 8 a.m. on Christmas morning in the semi-dark (just the infra-red lamps) is A BOY and not a girl. This is, indeed, an embarrassing mistake. So now (all rechecked) 2 black boys, 1 black girl and 2 yellow girls.

Joy's little Bordeaux collar has just abandoned this world after 15 hours with no desire to fight for life. R.I.P. my baby. I am in tears

A night with no sleep. And taking Joy's temperature. And falling off the chair on which I fell asleep.
No sooner had I got Isa, Tiffany and Yala fed and half-way out in the semi-dark than my leg-nurse arrived (complete with antlers) and when she wanted to see Jewel's babies . . . we found a very wet, very lively black baby in Joy's mouth. Murphy's Law that after a night without sleep the puppies start arriving just when you have all the other dogs to do. It's been a stressful "daymare" to say the least. I think it's now over.
Sadly N°6, a yellow bitch the biggest, the heaviest and with a posterior arrival, didn't make it, and five minutes later, N°7, the last one scrambled out to breathe a sigh of relief.
So Joy has six babies - 3 yellows and 3 blacks (thanks Mendel) 4 bitches and 2 dogs.
THANK YOU a million times to Alain Fontbonne for the extraordinary day round-trip he made from Paris and back again to inseminate Joy.

I didn't need to confirm that Joy is in gestation but decided to give her inseminator a happy little surprise with PROOF ! She has (at least) five judging by the echograph

The start - Le début
Today must be classified as one of the most rapid and mind-blowing days that the Guiness Book of Records could register. Pouring rain didn't help the sorting out of FIVE in season bitches, two raunchy males (total 11 bigs and 7 tinies) and getting them fed, out, pee'd, poo'd, settled, puppies fed and changed, me coffee'd, medicated and changed and off to the station by 11 a.m.
This was to be Joy's day. Joy who "lost" her one and only puppy two years ago and who didn't come in season and then did but Never couldn't mate her and neither of the "specialist" Vets could collect Never's semen. NEVER GIVE UP ! I love this bitch but the only person in the whole wide world capable of getting her in whelp was obviously Alain Fontbonne in Paris.
Off to the station to pick up Alain who arrived at 11.55. Home at 12,30 - checked Joy, took smears and blood samples. Collected Never, super excited and collected his sperm, 7 ml and excellent quality. Impregnated Joy and then she was 20 minutes on Alain's lap.
Alain (Professor at the Veterinary school in Paris) has an incredibly busy week and I am incredibly lucky that he is so incredibly kind as to make this incredible journey so that I can (may) get an incredible litter of puppies on Christmas Day. This would be an incredible Christmas gift.
THANK YOU my dear friend
