I laughed SO much when I read this. Where would I even begin to list everything we have missed for a whelping.
We've missed dinner dates, family birthdays and big concert dates where we had bought tickets months ahead. As a matter of fact we have tickets for The Police this Tuesday and it looks like we will not be able to go, because our Penny-Poo is just about ready. I do believe the biggest events were Christmas Eve and Christmas Day two years in a row when both our Penny and Roxy delivered on both days. The family would have understood one year, but both?
When you commit to breeding it is a true love affair and the doggies ALWAYS come first. I could not imagine ever taking the chance and leaving them ...even for a few hours. They would never leave us .....
