a miracle

[stubby 175]

so I go down the anderson shelter as normal, to open the door and give my ladies some quaility time (lol) they are normally both there to greet me, looking like light bulbs (both pregnant), well this time one comes out the sleeping box and I can see straight away "the sac" hanging out the rear, panic hits me as I start thinking of local vets, she goes straight to the corner to do her buisness, I start thinking that as its her first litter, maybe she dont know whats happening, and instinct hasent set in, maybe she thinks its a shit?

she waddles back to me and I roll her over to see the kit hanging out the rear, Im now panicking even more, when her sister rushes out and the pair of them start licking the rear, and out pops a kit, Ive been sitting on top of the sleeping quarters(study double compartment box) and all of a sudden I can hear squeaking coming from inside, the mum then waddles back inside, while the sister carrys on cleaning the kit, then picks it up so gently and carries it into the box WHAT A SIGHT TO SEE

have put a small bowl of milk down and both have quench their first, thinking that both sisters will share the same compartment and share motherly duties

well fingers crossed for the next few days, will leave them alone untill next week without too much disturbance

now hand me that cigar

Needing a vet?

 

I would have needed to go to bloody hospital with shock if I had seen all that.

 

Trust mother nature to just get on with it.
