My niece has given birth to another baby boy today , her second . She already has Joe , who was 8lb 8oz and is now 3 years old , and today she had another big foot at 8lb 6oz :o :o..... both mother and baby are fine . No more details as yet , I only heard myself at 3 this afternoon , but I think she started at 7.30 this morning .
Isn't life great life great on days like this ...wipes the slate clean sort of thing . ;D ;D ;D ;D
cheers

-

Thanks for that Russ. All the goats are now doing fine and the dog with liver failure also seems to be doing well. I am just waiting for the vet to phone back with the results of her blood tests. If all was to come back well - that would just be the icing on the cake for us.
-
The vet has just phoned and we do at last have encouraging news. The blood tests show that the liver is recovering and functioning well. So, providing she doesn't show any signs of going down hill she is fine. But there is nothing to suggest that should happen. At last light at the end of the tunnel.

that is brilliant news James .... My spaniel Steve , had liver failure and wasn't expected to live .This was over 5 years ago now. He went so thin poor little thing , I thought I was sure to lose him . But he kept fighting , and after a long period of ups and downs , he is through it now . He is as fit as a fiddle ,and walks to the land with me everyday , 8 miles there and back , and runs round like loony while we are there . Everything crossed for you and the dog mate , I expect like mine , yours ARE your family too ...not just a dog ...
cheers

Congrats, Russ, and my sympathies to your niece - I know how she feels right now having given birth some 37 plus years ago to two of much the same size(not at the same time, thank goodness ;) 2 years nearly between them). My daughter was 7lbs 10 ozs and my son was 8lbs 6ozs.
-
Congrats Rusty, and to your niece too (ouchy though!) :) Any name for the baby yet?
-
Thanks Annie,
she was going to have him at home , but from what I can make out so far , she had to go into Hospital for safety reasons ( nothing dangerous , but she would kill me if I told everyone on line ) . It has all been phone calls hither and thither , and I am unsure of whether she did actually have him at home now or not !! Still , last I heard from my nephew , she was on her way home , so all was ok whatever .
cheers
Russ

Thanks Sage,
yes ouch ...I can only imagine (thank God ) . If men had to have babies , the human race would have died out years ago .
No name as far as I know yet ... my nephew said 'Satan' ....lol.. I thought 'Be elze buby' would be nicer . ::) ;D
cheers

thanks Sandy, Karen,
will pass on best wishes..... I expect to hear more details later on , time of birth etc .... any more detailed than that :o , I tend to stick my fingers in my ears and go ..LA LA LA LA LA ...don't want to know... LA LA LA LA ... ::) ;D.....
Yes, it is the nephew that keeps his two locked in the cage , unless someone turns up , then he lets them out for a bit !!! . But we will have to get another one for my niece , now that she has two as well .
I doubt that Tracy would want anymore biguns though ....lol... she is only tiny herself !! :o

Brilliant news Russ and I can sympathise wtih your neice - Oliver was 8lbs 3oz, Harry was a much more sensible 6lbs 10oz! Isn't it wonderful having new life coming into the world - there's nothing more magical. I hope it puts a spring in your step on your way to the horses.
James, great news about your dog. My cat have liver failure about 8 years ago and is still here - he just doesn't do well under anaesthetic!
