A School Free Life

On Friday the 6th of April our Freda gave birth to 9 little puppies! She had the first at 10:54 and the last one 20:00. All together we've got 4 Boys and 5 Girls.  After the 7th was born we thought that's was it, mainly because it was a whole 4 hours and nothing else had happened. I turned round and BOOM, one popped out. The next 5-10 minutes was chaos because we were just told that if anymore came they probably wouldn't survive, and also because he was in a awkward position so it was quite difficult to get a hold of him.  About 45 minutes after that we saw contractions so at least I was prepared, this one popped out easily and for a second I wasn't sure if he was breathing, but luckily he was. So far they're all looking good, cute and healthy. Even little Runty is fine. Someone is watching Freda 24/7 so we shouldn't lose any. I've been pooped on quite a few times and my slippers are covered in I don't know what. But its worth it :D.

A few weeks ago we noticed a couple of black birds nesting in our ivy bush, they've now hatched an we here cheeping every time we go outside. So far they are doing very well but unfortunately me and (mostly) my grandad have converted our patchy grassy garden into a nice low-maintenance garden, there is much in the way of food for them. We can now see the chicks heads when the mum/dad comes with food.  We have recently bought a puppy and we called him Loki, he's growing very fast and is getting along with the other two really well. Although a few times he's had his head stuck in Fredas' mouth much to our amusement :D We had to take him to the vet a week or so ago because he was limping. But he's doing fine now.

Not really been updating but here's something worth talking about, out new puppy! Last Friday, 19th May, we went out to Heckington to pick up our little boy, Loki. We had been waiting for a e-mail from a lady so say when we can pick him up and I never stopped marthering nanny to check. Meanwhile, we were deciding what we should call him. My first suggestion was Loki, Norse god of mischief. We went though a few names like 'Darby', which I wasn't a fan of and soon neither was anyone else. So we settled for Loki, and we're glad we did, he lives up to his name, he's a little cute ball of nuisance! He's a pedigree Deerhound. Which is what we need because when he's older we looking to mate him the Freya and Freda so we have more puppies!!! On thing we have noticed is that he has HUGE paws, ABSOLUTELY HUGE!!! He's 9 weeks old. He's only been with us 6 days an' I love him to bits!! The funniest thing is though he settled in as soon as we got ...
