It was birthdays all round last weekend:
First the Bestest Gundog, then his Favourite Person the following day and then - at long last - Precious's first litter on Sunday afternoon.
She wasn't behaving any differently in the morning than she had been all week: had breakfast and a bit of a scratch and a mooch about.... but by Tea-Time she was a proud ---- and very protective --- 
Mum. If it were not for all the squeaks and grunts we wouldn't have believed there was anything but an extended Siesta going on..... and even now, 4 days later, she has not let us get any closer to the ark than about 3 yards - until yesterday afternoon all we were allowed to see was her very protective back! So we have no idea how many offspring there are.

We shall just have to be patient ... there are definitely 2 little 
ones but there may be as many as 4 or 5... only Precious knows..... So unlike Ginger who cannot wait to offer her babes up to the inquisitive visitors and cameras.......
