CLEAR EYE TEST

Stoli - Ichbin Egyptian Lord has a clear eye certificate today and has been DNA tested and sent off to the AHT along with his parents, he goes to his new owners on the 7th of June due to my injured knee and ankle.

If any other people want the kit for DNA testing for the AHT you can ask me and I will make sure a kit is sent to you. It is a very easy test to do just swab the inside of mouth and send off copy of eye certificate and pedigree. I do it every time I get a dog eye tested. This is for the Munsterlanders.

I also eye test the gordons but they at the moment being tested for late onset PRA.

THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS............................

Monday May 26th This was taken am today as I went in to clean out box as you can see mum and babies now fine and relaxed. Think the pups will think they are related to Yeats, as Tweed allows him in to sniff the pups when she is in there. Excuse the marks on vet bed etc thought it was worth taking the photo anyway...........
Monday 25th May Finished staining the fence, most of it done sitting on a chair as knee and ankle too painful otherwise, father managed to lay 2 slabs as I am not a lot of help.
Sunday 24th May A NIGHTS SLEEP.................. peaceful Tweed and household, after mentioning all this to Tweeds breeder she reminded me Tweeds gran did not like the door to the whelping room closed, so against all odds, left door open and now she comes and goes as she pleases, milk now in big time and everybody happy.
Ali kindly brought Yeats back lunch time after his weekend away and did wonder what Tweed would do with him going in the puppy room, she set the ground rules, you come in when I am in there but not when I am not, all it took was her chasing him out once now no bother and everybody relaxed.
Saturday 23rd May Congratulations to Ali and Nessie at Bath as placed in 2 big classes and well done Hannah and Yeats as they were also placed. (Photos will be up when Ali sends me them)

Pups now 5 days, beginning to go back to a bit of normal life........... This is Saturday late on and finally cracked the situation with Tweed, after no sleep and out staining the fence at 5am to get some peace, with Balian asleep on the garden too, gave in and went back to vets who couldn't find anything wrong with Tweed, another lot of medication and me in a foul mood cause of no sleep, came home and did everything on auto pilot .
Friday 22sd May. Still very tired but Tweed had a good night. Think medication helped. Ali came to pick up Yeats to go and be groomed ready for BATH champ show on Saturday as she was taking him and Hannah to the show, he was staying out as groomed in Nottingham and Ali lives in Essex......... Alan and Ed came and put up my new fencing and the paving slabs were delivered. Thanks to those 2 garden is beginning to take shape.
Thursday 21st May In vets by 8.30am not feeling good and bothered what was wrong, they found nothing but gave her medication to help her milk come in after a very comprehensive check up. When finally went on here late evening found the photo below send to me from Jenny...........................................
with email saying thanks for letting them have Tarot earlier in the year as he had helped Cash and them through May 15th a year since they lost their beloved Visa and hoped the photo of Cash and Tarot singing to Pete helped me through today as it was 2 years ago I had to let Freya go, and she knew I was dreading the day and may needed cheering up, what she did not know was what was happening this end............ yes it worked and pleased he has helped you 3.

Wednesday 20th May As you can see mum and babies relaxed, that same day Tweed decided she wasn't staying in whelping room with pups as her milk had not come in and was distressed and couldn't feed the babies, so I hand fed overnight to see if milk would come in, by 7am it hadn't so off to the vets we drove.
Tuesday 19th May Pretty uneventful, tried to catch up on sleep and jobs as you do.........

Busy 24 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took this yesterday lunch time to show Tweeds breeder, upside down on the settee, little did we know she was hours away from the whelping, as vet and I were not expecting them until Thursday/Friday...............

Satchmo went home and then Tweed wrecked the whelping box and looked most peeved at me, again taken to show her breeder, but thought you all would like to see this

Tweed finally getting ready to start whelping after re doing whelping box

Tweed having a snooze after first 2 hads arrived

Tweed sleeping after having the first 4, hence the wet paper, photos of them all to follow when I have had a nights sleep.

I came through the room to make sure Balian was ok and found him sleeping on the top of the sofa, he's been watching Satchmo no doubt, as this is his trick.

Proper photos up tomorrow, and people will be contacted who are on the list, but anybody interested please contact me by phone or email, details on my site www.ichbinandfluich.co.uk

Well done to Flikka & Tweeds relations at SKC 2009

Must say well done to the 3 new Celtaur pups who had a good day out at their first champ show, Flint 1st puppy dog, Obi 2sd puppy dog, Freckles 2sd puppy bitch. Not to be forgotten, Noodle stood 3rd in post grad bitch and China stood 2sd in open bitch.

Also Tina entered the new competition being held this year Breeders cup and her team entered and won.

Ps not going mad have change my pups name to Balian, a name from history I have always liked.

A wet Friday morning!!!!!!!

I made it up here!! Balian asleep, first time he managed to get up on the settee

Tweed feeling a little full after breakfast, more to do with pregnancy I think

Satchmo (dad to be) and Tweed (mum to be ) resting on a very wet morning

Balian chewing a toy, the photo below says it all!!!!

Yeats warming through by the fire looking back over at Balian chewing his toy.

When I got up this morning was well pleased had decided not to go to Edinburgh to SKC champ show, as it was raining really hard and thought of keeping Yeats clean............ no way. Good luck to all those souls who did brave it today.
