Heloise's Puppy

                          

Heloise has her puppies, two dogs two bitches, Deja vou it was like going back in time to Heloise's Grandmother Hope and indeed her mother Eleanor, they all it seems have several common factors.

The first it seems is lets whelp a puppy, OK that was fine, not sure if I want anymore, had one that's enough so I won't push anymore and the rest will disappear into the ether. 

Every-time, with each of them, first pup then nothing for hours, off to the vets they see the needle for the oxytocin injection and decide to  give a huge push, next pup appears on the vets table then it's all systems go. I pay the vet bill for just looking at a needle and normally out of hours,  they settle down and whelp the rest easily.

They are beautiful puppies and as her Grandmother and Mother she is a wonderful mum, dedicated beyond the call of duty.

The Lady Heloise comes back to StanHome

Heloise our beautiful puppy from My Lady Eleanor has come home to have her first litter.

Ellie Mae who was so tragically killed whilst carrying her litter was a devastating lost to everyone who knew her, with her went my line or so I thought. that was a few years ago. Then unexpectedly a had a phone call from one of her daughter's Heloise,  new family.  They had decided they would like her to have a litter, would I whelp her and look after her and the puppy's. I was so pleased to just see her again, she had always been a favourite, gentle just as her mother and Grandmother had been, but would she be a good a mother.

Suddenly there she was with just 8 days left, it was strange to have a Cavalier around again and I realised just how much I had missed them. She adapted to the Bolognese instantly and soon  it was as though she had never left us. We settled down to await the great day.

StanHome Petite Fleur's last litter

Fleur had a litter on the 19th June unfortunately she had to have a c-section and we only managed to save one puppy the rest were already dead, there was a decision to spade her. We had a few tense days seeing if she and her puppy would survive fortunately both did and I have a beautiful tri coloured boy.

Crufts 2007

This year I only took one of my  Cavalier’s to Crufts, my new boy Stanhome Lord of the Rings (Abelard).
This was his first Crufts and I was nervous that he would pick up all the hustle and bustle around him but no as usual he was his cool calm self. He just settled himself on top of his cage looked around with interest at the passing traffic and just soaked up the atmosphere and of course the attention. He graciously acknowledged all the people who wanted to stroke him, talk to him and of course the inevitable  pictures with great aplom. Unfortunately I was still unable to show him myself so once again Carol stepped into the breach and handled him for me. To see photos taken at the show click here.
