Our Fifteen Suprise

We thought up to nine would be born that day,
But unknown to us a surprise was on its way
She started two days before the due date,
Three pm that wasn’t late!
Pup number one seventeen minutes past three
A little black girl oh the joy and the glee
A few minutes later came pup number two,
A little black boy just joined the crew.
Three hours later we were sitting with seven
Just a nice number we were in heaven
Then came pup eight, nine and then ten,
Its time for a rest? No not another again!
Eleven arrived she took a short rest
It must be over but that was a test!
Twelve was a bitch thirteen a dog
No the other way round my mind was a fog.
I was keeping notes in a little black book
Hold on a second and I’ll take a quick look.
Almost an hour we thought “it’s all dun”
Thirteen puppies think of the fun!
We sat down exhausted, said “what do you think”
Looked at each other, we needed a drink.
Pup number fourteen she didn’t even push
We thought she was just having a lick at her toosh!
The tears on our faces and as pup fifteen showed its head
She just lay there exhausted we thought she was dead!
Fifteen puppies all in ten hours
If it had been me you would have sent flowers
Seven little girls and eight little boys,
All cosy with mum they looked just like toys.
One week later we were told to date
A record in the UK had been made with that mate
The sire is Bi Bi, a boy from Italy
Dam is Aaliyah who is feeding happily.
Cleaning and feeding is shifts of five
We’ve hardly slept a wink and the house is a dive.
But mum and puppies are all doing well
We however, have stepped in to hell.
Our eyes are red and our backs are sore
As we take it in turns to sleep on the floor
So you’re thinking of having one of these breed
Read my words and listen take heed
Russians are great the grooming and shows
But when it comes to breeding, god only knows
Be ready for one, five, eight maybe ten
But get ready for more so buy a big pen.
