    Managed to get a flight in today, off the north coast of Australia heading for Lizard Island north of Cairns. Unfortunately can't show the island as it's not Orbx scenery, it's a beautiful

    place

    A nice quiet, picturesque place to visit. Good to see the scenery has been released Don.

    It is not on the main line tourist meccas such as Hamilton Island.  

    They used to say it was the perfect place "for the newly wed

     

     

    Very friendly people over there.

     

    Aussie.

    Thanks mate, and the "and nearly dead", certainly applies to me right now. 😟😄 My recovery rate from the puppy care is very slow. A one way ticket would suit me fine.

    We have a friend who is blind and has a Lab. She has a new one, her previous dog (who is the splitting image of our Max) has been retired, he has done his job for her and is now having a well earned rest. 

    Hey I forgot to tell you guys that Maggie had to have a "C' section to deliver her puppies. She was in labour for twelve hours, vet said too long bring her in now. Interesting thing is that when they have a "C" section they don't know what/who the puppies are, my wife and I spent a few hours gently rubbing them on her so they had her smell, even then it took her a bit to work out they were hers. From that point on, she became the best Mum.🙂❤️

    Companion dogs? No way, I don't have it in me to do that. They are special, LIz takes hers everywhere, even on planes. She lives in Tasmania and she fly's over to see us. Marty just curls up at her feet and goes to sleep. Love dogs ❤️

    Yes a truly great experience for us all …. thanks again Don.  
    How is Maggie holding up?

     

    She is about as good as can be expected. I really feel for her, she keeps running into the puppy room looking for them, sniffs around picking up their scent. I think it will take about another week before she settles and realise they are gone. Meantime my wife and I are giving her lots of attention, cuddles and treats. I know we won't, but I wouldn't do this to her again, breaks my heart watching her looking for her puppies. 😟 I would never make a breeder, I'm too soft. I have just dismantled the birthing box and put it in the garage, I think this will help her as their scent will be gone. Thanks for your interest.

    Don, we will miss them too. Thanks for letting us be part of the saga. It was fun and touching.

     

    Our pleasure Rodger, sharing our journey with you has been a lot of fun and nice to have the company of you all along the way. I feel a bit sad that our old friends that are no longer here I couldn't share this with. One of the things I learned from this, I'm 85, and you are never too old to experience the miracle of life. 🙂

    Good one Don. As Iain says they're going to bring joy and companionship to their new owners. It's been great following your reports. Best wishes to their grandparents and Maggie.

    Cheers

    Thanks Graeme. Yes they will bring a lot of joy and happiness to their new Mum and Dad for many years to come.

    Don this has been a fantastic post mate thank you for doing this.

    Well done in caring for these little bundles of fun and a sad day to see them go but just think of the joy and fun they will bring to their new owners.

    cheers

    Thanks Iain, it's been fun to share our experience with you guys and I think a couple of gals. Although we wouldn't do it again, we wouldn't have wanted to not do this, it a real experience in life. To see those little wet things when they were born and watch them develop into those gorgeous fluffy bundles of joy, is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. We have a lot of photo's that I'll revisit over and over. My wife asked me if I wanted mate our standard poodle with Max our lab, not sure what they call them, Ladoodles or something, and I asked her how a divorce sounded 😧and then reminded her about the two hour feeds she would have to do - she had a quick change of heart. But having said all this, I loved everyone of them, and feel a little privileged that I got to have this experience.

    All over guys. Last weekend the puppies left us and went to their forever homes. We were very lucky to have very nice caring people to adopt them. 🙂 Yes it was a sad day to see them go, I'm a tough old bugger, but had to swallow hard every time one went the door. When you are caring for them and feeding them four or five times a day, ❤️you can't help but get an attachment to them, and of course lab puppies are so cute that doesn't help. But they are now gone, and we can put the tissues away 😂.
