    Sad news though - Phantom pregnancy and labour :(

    She has had two previous litters, of only two puppies each - she is a Maltese and litter sizes are generally small. But labour lasted about 3 hours both times previously. So I took her to the Vets earlier as I was getting concerned.

    Vet did a thorough ultrasound and manual examination and definitely no puppies there :(
    She is still showing all the signs of labour though and even has milk.
    The Vet says she may have been carrying a puppy but it died earlier in the pregnancy and has been re-absorbed :(

    How sad and disappointing, but she has had an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory and a good check over.

    I got the neon coral ones, they are not actually lace up and the tongue is not separate. Most of the trainers they have looked to have a good arch in them but I only tried on those ones and the bubble mesh ones.
    Thank you, i'll take a look.

    I would get onto HO with a complaint

    They are selling the promo packs so they should honour them. Particularly because their website says they will take internet coupons
    I did this with pant mocs they said I couldn't use as I was getting them fraudulently!

    Afternoon luvlies, so sorry to read this JTS, awful for you and your family who will have been looking forward to puppies, even holding her hand :A, and must be heartbreaking for your little doggie bless her. Can you give her a couple of small teddies to nurse or is this not the done thing :o.

    FILLERS v Sainsburys

    1x Ryvita Fruit Crunch Crispbread (200g)£1.59£1.00
    1x ASDA Smart Price Sliced Mushrooms in Water (285g)£0.38£0.58
    1x ASDA Butcher's Selection Unsmoked Gammon Joint (750g)£3.75£2.50
    1x ASDA Butcher's Selection Smoked Gammon Joint (750g)£3.75£2.50

    A good filler against S should be the Macaroni Cheese tin. *Not* the SP version which is 40p elsewhere, but this, the standard range Mr A version:

    ASDA Macaroni Cheese (395g)

    Store_2.15px.png
    [Strike]55p[/Strike] 49p 12.4p / 100g
    Store_3.15px.png
    [Strike]35p[/Strike] 25p


    I bet that this is already common knowledge as I think it's something that's not:rotfl:.

    Just to confuse you - switching abruptly to versus T - Ryvita Original Crackerbread (200g) should be £1.09 vs 54p (the lowest price I've ever seen).
