Another happy snap of Baileys, taken at Freshwater West. We are now looking for potential owners for her puppies. For further details please contact doodles@baileysandblue.co.uk .

No matter which beach we go to, Baileys has to get wet. Normally we take a "flinger" along to throw a tennis ball for her, but even without this she will head to the sea and park herself in the water.

Any rockpools have to be investigated and if they are deep enough, sat in. Fortunately the van is set up for soggy dogs, with towels to dry her and fresh water for her to drink...

And now the fun begins...

This is Baileys, the confused mum-to-be. This picture was taken last weekend on a walk at Llys-y-fran reservoir.

Her belly has got loads bigger, and following the trip to the vets, her belly has been clipped.

Panic has ensued, making lists of everything that needs to be got, done, sorted and fixed before any pups arrive.

Added to the fun, there's the 6 nations coming up, so its to the pub to watch (hopefully) Ireland beat England and Wales take France... Reckon I'd get pretty long odds on that bet but we live in hope (and nostalgia) in Wales!

Its confirmed!

Just back from the vet. Seen the scan, little pockets that hold the puppies...

Everyone delighted!
