    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: ); }

      Nice! I had an English Setter / Labrador mix. She had the Setter coloring (white coat, with brown speckles on the ears) and a Labrador build (broader in the chest and wider head than your typical Setter). She was a great dog.

                On the otherhand if you use the mains you only need to use it once. The uplifted spirit will last for a long time. [EDIT: I am talking about those who have 240V.

                      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
