In the middle of a usual summer day in the office, I got an urgent call from sis about me needing to go and see about Kris. Earlier in the week, I visited the expecting mum and was awed at her girth. She looked like she was ready to burst anytime. So I told Gerson time and again to prepare a birthing box as the babies are coming out soon. But that fell on deaf ears. Sigh.
When the clock struck 12 noon, I hastily grabbed my bag and went home to fetch Princess and some clean towels. Since the couple are away and the gate reportedly padlocked, sis advised me to pass at the empty lot out back.
Surveying the birthing scene revealed four healthy puppies scattered in every direction with one which head and front legs were halfway through the wire mesh that served as wall of the canine house. Yelps emanated from the ground below from which four more wet things were recovered before the ants got to them.
I had only one hour to spare. Looking around, I found a toolbox which we emptied, lined with towels and newspaper where we placed the newborns, hoping that nobody gets over the makeshift "fence" until their "dad" comes home.
