and then there were three....

after what could only be described as a nightmarish week, relative calm has settled on the Rippleochre Rugrats.

Last week Brinnie became seriously ill with mastitis and spent 7 days in the hospital.   Apart from a particularly gruesome rupture of the udder, she is making a very good recovery.

If you are wondering what sort of damage a nasty case of mastitis can do to a bitch, click here.

BUT NEVER FEAR, DAD IS HERE!!!

Unfortunately I had to send Hedy to the "Bridge' last week because of a birth defect.  So now there are just three!

Here Moses sticks close to Harley, Ace and Lily

"I said, NO SON, NO, NO, NO!!!"....... "Oh Daaaaad, pleeeeeease"

"Daaaaad, their picking on me"

Lily (at 4 wks) reckons Dad will protect her

(Give up Harley, No means NO )

Ace The Intrepid

Boy I wish I could have got this natural showman into the ring!!!

Harley a born show off and  clown

This is Brinnie, two days after she came home from hospital.  She was delighted to see the pups and despite an open wound and 8 drains she threw herself into a 'mouthy' game with Harley.

Thanks for visiting us, more photos soon!!
