A year ago today each of you were born into my hands as I helped your mama through a long labour.
There were so so many of you!
I bottle fed you all every 2 hours for the next 3 weeks and even though it was exhausting, every precious moment was worth it.
You turned me into an emotional wreck and I would cry with happiness as I watched you grow and thrive.
The little noises that you made when feeding filled me with hope of who you would become but I also couldn't imagine you as grown up big dogs. It seemed a lifetime away!
I know beyond a doubt, that were it not for the supplementary bottle feeding some of you wouldn't survive. Edna only had 6 nipples and there were 14 of you! 14! A number I still can't comprehend.
Two months later you were all settled in your new homes and I was left wondering if it was all a dream. An exhausting but perfect dream. It passed in the blink of an eye.
There was always so much to do! So much cleaning 😂
Now I see you all, a year on, adult dogs in your perfect homes living your best lives. Walking on the beach, going to training classes, doing well in the show ring and having cuddles with your families on the sofa.
I am so very proud of each and every one of you and I love you very much.
You each own a piece of my heart.
Have the happiest of birthdays babies.
Grandma loves you and I can't wait to see some of you at our annual Marcasite Poodles meet up this weekend
