Misha X Oscar …… 7 1/2wks old
09 Apr 2012 1 Comment
Well the last few weeks have flown by. The pups have gone from being just blobby blobs of fur to mini little ‘hippo’s’.
At 4wks we started them on solids which was just dry kibble soaked in water to a porridge mix, once they were up to 4 meals a day I stopped Misha feeding them, this was about 6wks old. Over the last week I’ve dried up the porridge mix and they are now just eating dry kibble and loving it. Poor Misha has to be squeezed into a babies vest when she has contact with the pups as they to try to get a sneaky feed still.
'does my bum look big in this ??'
The pups have grown into gorgeous little dogs with their own little personalities. Each of them has characteristic’s from both breeds in different ways. The only girl is the tallest and has quite a smooth coat and a very obvious cavalier face but a very curly shih tzu tail. Then one of the boys is so obviously a shih tzu with very short legs and unruly coat.
At 7 1/2wks now this week will fly by as they are all off to their new forever homes at the weekend. I’ll spend the week pampering and taking as many photos as possible.
I’ve loved every minute of this little litter of cross-breed pups and feel it was the best decision I’ve made for a long time. If and when we have some more pups i will do it again.
So thats it, this was Misha X Oscar = 4 very gorgeous Cava Tzu
”missing you all already xx my little ‘hippo’s’ xx
Misha X Oscar ….. 3wks old

Well the last 3wks have just flown by, with the pups doing something new every day. Misha has settled into a brilliant routine and jumps in with them to feed and care for them every 2hrs. The pups now have their eyes open and totter around the bed playing and growling at each other.
We now have forever home for the brown boy ‘Gizz’ he should hopefully be going to my sister, which would be lovely as i can still watch him grow. Then one of the other boys will be going to live across town and i know he’ll be well-loved.
Over the next week or 2 they will change so much, getting stronger on their feet, will start to introduce solids ( messy but fun) and they will be more awake and be exploring.

At last ……..
After a very long day of nesting, panting and power napping Misha gave birth to 3 boys and a girl 
all strong and healthy.
It all started Wednesday night with Misha being very restless and continuing the nest for most of the night (nest = scuffing up bedding) so by 5am ish I decided to get up with her as she refused to settle. By 6.20am Misha had started panting aswell as nesting so I then knew any plans for the day were going to be cancelled.
6am ish 16th Feb
All day she nested, panted and power napped, but by 6pm i was getting concerned as it had been going on over 12hrs (the books say 6 – 12hrs or can be as long as 18hrs for this stage) after a quick reassuring call to the vet we decided to let her go as far as 10pm then think about doing something.
At 10.02pm things changed and she started pushing the next 5hrs became a blur as she gave birth to firstly a girl then the 3 boys, all were text-book delivery and Misha did it all.
all done and looking very content
By 4.30am on the friday we were all settled and very tired and with the impending trip to Vale hospital to collect Titch (Misha daughter from a previous relationship) hubbs and I took it in turns to have a power nap, planning to catch up later in the day.
So now they are here for those interested I’ll keep you updated in their progress over the next 8wks.

Misha X Oscar Day 51 (nearly 7 1/2wks)
08 Feb 2012 Leave a Comment
Well firstly I must apologise for leaving the update for so long, let me think back and whats happened so far.
30th January at 5pm we took Misha for her pregnancy scan, which confirmed she is pregnant as the vet would not confirm to how many pups she’s expecting he did say she is having ”a good size litter”
Misha’s appetite has increased 10fold and we’ve now introduced a light breakfast of either, cooked chicken + rice or scrambled egg. We now stopped going for walks as she gets quite tired just walking across the room.
5th Feb and now we can see and feel the pups moving.
So here we are day 51, the pups are getting stronger and Misha’s belly is getting bigger 9 more days and it will be safe for Misha to give birth as pups should be developed enough to be born. coincidently takes us up to next Wednesday which happens to be my birthday
Watch this space as not long now
Well what a week…………..

Everything seems to have settle into a nice routine since returning back to school/college. I’m back on my slimming world diet and back on a losing streak
My gorgeous hubby has now managed 15days booze free and in 2wks has lost 6lb . At first he was quite ill with bad stomach discomfort and horrid headaches in the mornings, thankfully that’s now beginning to settle and his appetite is picking up.
The biggest event since last checking in last was the very horrible experience I’ve had on Facebook. Up untill now I’ve enjoyed Facebook, meeting new people, catching up with distant family and in general a fun time. But I’ve become a victim of the keyboard bully, I had actually blocked the person concerned many months ago due to my timeline passing so quickly and me missing many important people s messages. Anyway it came to my attention that this person started a hate campaign against me, which actually became slanderous on many occasions. It involved many people I had never heard of but seemed to have an opinion of me. It it wasn’t for a few very good friends and lots of supporting messages I think I would have deleted and deactivated the account.
So now I’ll be keeping my guard up on Facebook and I’ll continue to tell people if they don’t like me or what I do, then just delete me
Misha X Oscar …. day 35

Well things are looking more and more positive every day. Misha appetite has picked up and she’s enjoying her chicken and rice or scrambled egg in the morning. There are more physical signs to her nipples are developing, including her top 2 which are normally very flat. I weighed her 2wks ago and she’s put on 1lb in weight in that time.
We went for a walk today and I let her run free for a few minutes then put her on lead, which she was quite happy about, trotting slowly alongside me.
Will be booking a scan very soon. All is looking good.
Misha X Oscar… day 28

Yesterday Misha was sick a little in the morning, then refused half her tea, she also slept a lot and refused to join in playtime with the pups.
Today she’s been pretty much the same, so trying not to get hopes up to soon but wonder if she’s got a little bit of morning sickness. Gave her some rice and chicken mid morning which she really enjoyed, so will be interested to see what she eats at tea time. All she’s done today is sleep curled up as close to me as possible.
A week of mixed emotions….

This time last week we were nursing our youngest cat Missy, she’d not eaten very well for a few days so was needing lots of TLC. Couldn’t find a reason for her loss of appetite until whilst drinking some water she coughed out a huge tooth. Within a few hours of doing this she’d started to pick up and although still not 100% she’s getting there.
''having a sneaky nap in the dogs bed''
Missy being ill reminded me of the heartache we set ourselves up for when taking on a family pet. I think I’ve got my furbabie family and won’t be having any more.
Saturday I was on a high as I obtained one of my 2012 goals, which was to have one of my photos printed, I did it
2nd January on a cold but sunny very early morning.
Sunday my gorgeous hubbs started the biggest challenge he’s had in a long time, he’s going to give up drinking. After 18mths of drinking nearly every day and health issues beginning to show this is it. So in support, I’ll not be drinking either which I hope will help another goal I set myself for 2012 and that’s to reach my set target by June.
Monday we started our new more organised routine and whilst de.frosting one of the freezers managed to work out a weeks menu using what we had which in turn will mean a low spend week yipheeee
I’ll not be updating Misha X Oscar this week as there is no change, so keep your fingers crossed that I’ll have something to report next week.
Here’s wishing you all a great week
''must be tea time ''
My first weekly blog….short and sweet….

Not a lot to say as yet.
Our new years eve went well, this was the first year that my eldest went out (spent the evening with his g/friend) and hubbs daughter spent the night with her mum. Which left me, hubbs, my youngest and hubbs eldest, the evening was spent skipping through many tv channels until 11.50pm when we settled on the one until it was all over and the new year had began.
1st January was a lazy day.
2nd January, time to tidy away christmas and start getting ready for returning to normality. I started the day with a very fresh walk with the dogs at one of my favourite spots up on the hill.
My youngest son came with me so he could try out his new camera, which was very nice to have some company.
Once back home the ”girls” were settled and we changed out of our muddy walking gear for a trip into town to get new school shoes. Whilst there we took a quick walk around the docks.
By lunchtime we were getting hungry so did plan to grab a sandwich and then to go to the cathedral, but sadly the carpark was full and over flowing so we’ll leave that for another day. I enjoyed spending time with my youngest today and i hope i gave him a little inspiration for taking photos (yet to see what he captured)
My plan with blogging is now to do a weekly blog chatting about the week that has past including the odd photo, todays blog has more than expected due to only having a few days to chat about
Until next time my friends enjoy your week and live life to the full
Misha X Oscar (2wks)

Still very early days into the pregnancy so nothing to report, in another 2wks we should start to see some signs.
As of today we’ve resumed our daily walks, which all 3 furbabies enjoyed very much.
