There was enough volume in the Saturday delivery to do a second insemination on Sunday. Leaving semen in normal extender that long is iffy, but I figured if it was going to be wasted anyway I’d be happy to waste it inside the bitch instead of down the drain.

Despite the enormous amount spent on FedEx, the super-duper five-day extender did not get to Arkansas in time to ship a delivery back to me for Monday. So we won’t have a Monday breeding but we’ll do Tuesday and (if there’s enough) Wednesday. That extender shouldn’t have any problem keeping it alive overnight; it’s made out of dragon’s milk and unicorn tears and promises a full five days.

Clue, as always, is the consumate champion at anything she does. The inseminations actually took place with her on her back because I knew she’d obey me and stay still. Also, did you know that dogs’ cervixes face their backbone? Yup. So doing an insemination on their backs so the semen pools over the cervix actually makes sense; it’s just that most bitches would never hold still. She not only tolerated it but fell asleep with me rubbing her tummy.

SQUEEEEE! I was bumming after last week’s progesterone check, and bumming even more after a rather disappointing weekend in Springfield, and bumming seriously hardcore when I went out to go to the grocery store this morning only to find a flat tire.

But now I’m all psyched and stuff! Fingers crossed tight.

Here’s what you need to know:

Ruffly Speaking is the home of Blacksheep Cardigan Welsh Corgis and a steady parade of rescues. The house is always messy and the dogs are always clean.

I have four daughters, ranging from twelve to two. That makes me very old or very young. Probably both. They give me great joy and an enormous bottom.

Clue (CH Pecan Valley A Blue Clue) whelped nine puppies 1/22! Dad is CH Pecan Valley Draco. We have a couple of pet puppy spots open (and may have some show spots but I won't know until the eight-week evals), so if you'd like an application click here: - Puppy Application - and download the doc file.

I am mostly just nuts about dogs. And coffee. Dog hairs in my coffee, not so much.
