mirawee Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I would gladly get up in the middle of the night for a puppy if it means I finally have one! Great time of year to do it, too, not cold at night!! Ruby came home in March so I had lovely weather for middle of the night stops, too :D Agreed Except for it not being cold at night... it is freezing here atm :D And I get the fun job of checking on a mare all night who is threatening to foal :D What is the bet she waits until her "due" date in 2 weeks though :D (Foaling 2 weeks early is within the normal range for mares: 320- 370 day is "normal" but "due" date is generally calculated on 340 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) What are the temps at night out your way mirawee? It might not be hot at night yet, but it's certainly more bearable to be heading out in it over the middle of winter! Think I will have to plan a puppy so it doesn't arrive in winter, that would be horrible!! Can you set up a baby monitor to check on the horse?

Um, tonight I am wearing a jumper and jacket :D Has been warmer the last week but today was cold and tonight is colder. I have a foaling alarm but as I wasn't expecting mare to want to foal this early she isn't in a paddock close enough to get reception! Was planning on moving them all around tomorrow after I drop one horse off to a friend and another to "boot camp"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Mason in June last year and it was awful to get up at that time. And Mason never slept through until he was 6 months old as he had tummy troubles. He did not ever cry at night though which is odd as all my other pups have :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can come keep my terror company. Lordy! TWO puppies?! You'd be a sucker for punishment I do have to say though that having an older dog does help. Paddy thinks his big brother is Xmas and follows him everywhere! eta - the floor is littered with puppy toys and Dougal's toys ..... and what is the puppy playing with?

Tiggy Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Found a great new spot to walk the dogs this morning . I think it's called Sandy Beach, it's in Bassendean, it has lots of walking tracks. This woman had two dogs, one followed us for ages we started thinking maybe it wasn't hers so we stopped and when she caught up we asked if it was hers and she says yes sorry I'm daydreaming this morning, so we keep walking and the dog still follows us and she never calls it back we crossed a road, this dog jumped into someones backyard with their dogs, then followed us some more then I don't know where it went. Weird maybe she wanted to lose it, she made no effort to call it back and walked off in a different direction to us .

Hope he likes his clear run toys heheehee Yeah maybe I am a sucker for punishment but it might keep him company, not sure when we will get dog #2 but prob not till kenobi is 1.5 - 2 this will be OH dog but as he's away yep Im sure it'll end up been a mamas dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
