Dreamorox "Repeat" Litter

 On Tuesday 7th October, the second Dreamorox litter arrived in to the world.

Roxxi,  just like last time is a super mummy. She had a very long birthing process this time round but we got all 5 pups out safely. 
This time we have all black and white pups, 2 bitch pups and 3 dog pups and they are just perfect. The theme for this litter while they stay with me is "Halloween" so we have  Scare, Spook, Pumpkin, Scream and Shiver.

I am a bit late in updating the whole process this time round and the pups will be 2 weeks old tomorrow!!! ( 21.10.214)

Dam is my Roxxi and due to all the mishaps mentioned in my last post i finally decided to use Demon (my boy) again.

Im glad i went ahead and still bred Roxxi as this litter is just as special as the first.

I will raise this litter very much like the last litter,  giving them the best start in life i can and hopefully ensuring they grow up to be well rounded boys and girls. 

All secured homes are working homes which is brilliant as that's what i feel a pup from this litter needs.

The pups eyes are starting to open now and they are getting more and more strengh each day .....meaning we are not far from trouble haha!!

The pups are already being well handled by myslf, my partner and my daughters (Chloe-Leigh & Skylah Paige.)

As with the first litter the pups are having weekly photoshoots by Zoe of Duo Event Photography, who is just awesome. Below is a link to her facebook page and just a few pictures she has done for me of this litter.

Change of plan

This last week has got to qualify for one of my worst this year.

We went away for a wedding middle of last week in July, leaving the dogs with my mum and a close friend knowing they would have loads more fun.

So, I come home last Monday and realise a) Demon is acting as if he is glued to my kitchen cupboards & b) Roxxi is in a pretty crappie mood (with Demon).

The reason for this, I discovered,  was that in fact Roxxi had come into season a month and a half earlier than planned......panic stations.

Now in the whole of Roxxi's life she has never ever been early. She's been late (loads) and recently she's been on time, never early.

Now for a lot of you this would never be a problem but for me it caused soooo many issues I can honestly say from the minute I realised so had come in to season early all I felt was a sick feeling.

The past week I have tried juggling ferries, trying to arrange kids, tried to move my holiday at work you name it I've been doing it.

But it was not ment to be.
I don't have the luxury of being able to just up and leave at the last minute like I'd love to.

I have cried (a lot ) and spent a heck of a long time trying to organise various different aspects of my life to make this mating go a head.

I don't have the confidence to do the drive from here to denmark,  if i took a ferry and drove part way it only gave me around 24 hrs max to drive 8 hrs get a mating and drive the 8 hrs back to the ferry (in time to be back for work and kids) and the other option being getting a last minute flight didn't sit well with me as I don't feel Roxxi would cope well with it & I am not willing to stress her out caging her up in a luggage hold of a plane.

So after months of planning, getting weeks off work (incase she was late) & making my mum book time off to have my kids .......All in September...... I have made the decision to cancel mine and Roxxi's trip to see the gorgeous Ziggy in Denmark.

To say I am gutted is an understatement but the risk in the ferry-drive (if the mating didn't happen) to Denmark was too much of a risk for me.

I am not a big breeder and neither do I have large amounts of money, so,  I also have to think responsibly and look at the bigger picture.

Ziggy has been my choice for a long time now and he would be my choice should I get the chance to breed from Gossip.
I am forever great full for the time and help Asa (Ziggy's owner) has given me.

I know there are still a few people wondering what I will do now and today I can not say as I don't know myself.

I will look at it with fresh eyes and a clear head in a day or so.
