Dixie was overdue with her piglets and we were beginning to worry about absorption....But all is well, Pete was supposed to be away with Steven, but I just knew the piglets were going to arrive so their night away had to be cancelled and instead an early drive to St Pierre leaving at 5am! Oh well needs must...Dixie is usually a complicated delivery so I needed all the help I could get!
She started at 6.30pm just half an hour after Pete should of left so it was a good job he stayed, we helped her through a rough tiring birth of 10 piglets and I think on number 8 some of our guests joined us to share the happy occasion. Dixie only had one breach and a couple that needed to be reminded how to breathe! and all of them were in need of airway clearing due to late birth. She has got one a little weaker than the rest and the jury is still out as to whether she will make it. we finished late in the evening, just in time for a couple of hours sleep before waking again for golf! I only had shorts on and the mosquito's were out in force I think I have 100 bites on my legs alone, they are pickled I look like I have the lurgy!.. I have had an allergic reaction to some and my legs have swollen and are very sore to walk...Have to see how they pan out might need to go to the docs!!!
