Ruffly Speaking

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.
