just back from hospital and she has had the operation and is awake, doing alright. i would like to say a HUGE thanks to you guys for helping with this puppies as it was one less thing to worry about under the circumstances. you were swift, kind and just wonderful. thanks loads. she fell over on porridge at 4 this morning when getting up to refed them all, and broke her hip and has had to have it pinned, hopefully 5 days in hospital and then home. thanks again for another great job
