Hi ruth gary and family.
tragic to hear of roxanne's loss. Bloat and snake bite are the worst because it
is all so sudden and unexpected, healthy one day and gone the next. Over the
years I have lost two from bloat and it is just so frustrating. Do you want me
to print this ode to roxie in the next mag?


We have had lots of tragedies here with our breeding program and losing some
pups but I guess they are just set backs and we will just have to get on with
it. The good news for us is that we at least have two live pups from Misty this
time but we have just had ongoing problems with her second and third litter so
now thats it for her. Its sad for her cos she just loves puppies, even the dead
ones!!! She'll just have to play grandma to the others next time. What is so
frustrating is that we wait two years to do a litter and breed just what we want
then get so few puppies and some of our puppy buyers have waited that long too!
I guess I'll have to do another litter with one of the others now, more worry
and heartache. sometimes I hate this breeding game. WE have been up for about
ten nights straight with this last lot which is what pulled the boy through (he
only weighed 200 g at birth). Now he is about 500 g.
again sorry to hear your news.Cloud is fine, lovely and happy and gets on with
everyone. Still loves chasing those birds and now has Kimba in the act. She has
gone off to do a few shows in Canberra with Maree, so will see how she goes.
cheers
ingrid
