    Our dog had some fun about 2 months ago. The result: she started giving birth at 1 am. At 6 am, we had 2 puppies. Went to bed till 8 and off to work, so I'm a little tired. :zzz: Now, we have 5 and counting. Good thing I got the afternoon of, so my girlfriend will get some time off too while I'll be watching the dog. I'll put some ethernet in the room where the dog is, and connect my laptop. Surfing while checking on the dog seems the best thing to do. Any ideas on how to keep myself awake. I don't drink coffee, or red bull stuff. Only Coca-cola and stuff like that. Any other tricks? ps: The puppies are so cute! And they make those funny little noises. Maybe I won’t need my internet connection after all, and will just be looking at the puppies and the dog. ;) ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] while (!:bob:.IsDrunk()) { :bob:.Drink( :beer: ); }

              When I read the subject, I thought "uh, oh... Soapbox Material" :cool: black tea. Strong. Assam is a good idea. Same effect as coffee, but less peaky, and much more friendly to your intestines.

                                Just some junk info. IMHO: Normally the first litter is the biggest you have. From my experiences. Serious though I wouldn't bother keeping awake as bitches are really good at giving birth without any help. Also note the pup that takes the rear nipple first is most likely going to be the runt. So you might consider marking that one for special attention. Maybe you should set up a puppy cam :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

                                        Our dog had some fun about 2 months ago. The result: she started giving birth at 1 am. At 6 am, we had 2 puppies. Went to bed till 8 and off to work, so I'm a little tired. :zzz: Now, we have 5 and counting. Good thing I got the afternoon of, so my girlfriend will get some time off too while I'll be watching the dog. I'll put some ethernet in the room where the dog is, and connect my laptop. Surfing while checking on the dog seems the best thing to do. Any ideas on how to keep myself awake. I don't drink coffee, or red bull stuff. Only Coca-cola and stuff like that. Any other tricks? ps: The puppies are so cute! And they make those funny little noises. Maybe I won’t need my internet connection after all, and will just be looking at the puppies and the dog. ;) ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] while (!:bob:.IsDrunk()) { :bob:.Drink( :beer: ); }

                                        Congrats! You're a Dad now... :-D To keep awake smell that gorgeous puppy smell, wonder over their cheese-wedge shaped ears, let the happiness keep you going :) Oh, and Red Bull or similar might help...
