Lucy, Tommy's mum did not show any signs of
being pregnant, as I was going to be judging in Serbia at the time she
was due to have her babies I decided to have her scanned just to be sure
I could leave her, so we went to the vet, she was duly scanned and the
vet said she was definitely not pregnant but was having a "Phantom"
pregnancy, so as my friend who Lucy lived with was also going away we
could safely leave Lucy to be cared for by her husband who was staying
at home, my friend was coming home from her holiday the day Lucy would
have had her babies, I left the day before she was due, at 6pm shortly
after I had finished judging my mobile phone rang, something told me
that it was to do with Lucy, it was, my friend had been home about an
hour when Lucy had suddenly yelled out, and you guessed it, out shot
Tommy, my friend went into panic mode and rang me, I said thank god she
was home in time and not to worry, ring me back if there were any
problems and I would talk her through it, well of course there were no
more babies, Tommy "The Phantom" was an only child, spoilt to death by
his mum, and by us, he grew into a proper charmer, all the ladies like
him and he certainly likes them, his first sons are doing extremely well
in the show ring and hopefully more will join them in the future, he is
also Optigen A/Clear, FN Clear with good hips, he sires Gold--Black/Tan
-Black and Sable, all with his joy of life....
STOP PRESS: Tommy's son has just
triumphed at the Euro Spaniel Show , the most prestigious show on the
continent... way to go Monty.. |
