OMG!!!, what a journey! have been sat ere, on and off for almost 4 days, reading from the start. i have a 3yr old son who wants almost constant attention and a bloke who wants attention all the time too lol, so only able to get on ere when he in work! finally got to the end and found myself strangely dissapointed. it has finished! no more excited posts, no more candy and pups! i have nothing to encourage me back in ere!

well, actually, as has been mentioned, a thread for the pups, and a link for youtube.......... can't wait. will go looking for it now.

Trish, well done! that was immense work and commentating, for which i thank you! Candy, well done hunny! all that hard work has paid off, your such a sweetie, and very brave!

to all the members who stayed up with trish and candy, the night she had the pups, i raise a toast to you all! congratulations! what a thoughtful, sweet and caring bunch! to offer your support and thoughts and good vibes like that, to put off the housework, ignore the kids and OH's, feed them only super quick food! Trish is one lucky gal to have you guys around to help out!

from start of the thread, to the finish, i was hooked. like many of you have said, edge of the seat stuff! i couldn't agree with you more. after the last post i sat back and sighed a big sigh! even though i was a few days late reading this i even cheered out loud when the first pup was born. my son looked at me and asked what was the matter, bless him lolol! i never realised there was sooo much in whelping, so many questions to ask, soo many things to do and so many things that can go wrong. i am so very pleased that nothing major went wrong. i am now looking forward to finding out about the new pups in their own thread and looking at the youtube link!!!!!

thanks once again Trish and Candy, it was an amazing journey through the happy times, the exciting times, the nervous times and then finally to the ending! this is one thread that i will not forget in a long time!! your amazing!
