Hi list, Thought I would send you a little story about my girl Souchi, Can.Ch Beaufort's Wyn'N'Karma. I also have Cavaliers and on Sun one of my bitches whelped her first litter, she was 5 days early, she carried 7 puppies, which is a fairly large litter for Cavaliers. Her first pup was quite large and she had a difficult time with it, he took a long time getting going, I worked on him for about 20 minutes before he took a gasp so he was quite wheezy. He seemed to improve overnight but we lost him on Mon afternoon. My husband wrapped him in a towel to take out and bury with the other we lost, last puppy, very small and never took a breath. When he went out to bury him, he was gone, thinking an animal had taken him he went looking, at the same time I had let Souchi and her daughter out for a run. Souchi went straight to the wood shed, dug a bit and brought the puppy out, she brought him right to Jim and laid him in the grass. I think that is an incredible thing for a dog to do. This is a little longer than I meant it to be but it brings tears to my eyes and makes me look more closely at my connection with my dogs.
