Twas the night before Savy's labour day,
and all through the dog house,
every creature sensed new life coming,
even the mouse!

Savy was anxious,
not knowing what was going on.
Her panting and nesting,
said there'd be puppies before dawn.

She was comforted with my presence,
and rested her head on my pillow.
For I made my bed in her nursery,
as her contractions continued to billow.

The poor girl had her first pup,
which made her anxiety heightened.
As she huddled in the corner,
little Wallace had made her frightened!

I cleaned him up and,
gently introduced them to each other.
A prayer went up hoping,
she would be a good mother.

Then along came Gromit,
who she welcomed with a kiss.
Then suddenly my worries,
became all amiss.

Then there was Toty,
and shortly after Hutch.
I could see she was wondering...
isn't this a little much!

But as each pup came,
she did all the right things.
And welcomed each one under,
the protection of her so-called wings.

It was the day after,
when one went astray.
We grieved as did she,
for it was on her she lay.

But now all looks well,
the eight that remain,
are growing and healthy,
and enjoy the milk bar train.

So keep in touch,
when on the internet you roam,
as each baby grows up,
and gets matched to a new home.

Savy has 8 pups! They range from light apricot to red -- you can definitely tell that Radar's genes have won out!

Callie is a proud grandma. She's come to visit the little grandchildren and encourage Savy in this dynamic, new state of motherhood.

After seeing the movie Wallace and Gromit the kids just had to name the pups after them. The boy's names are Wallace, Gromit, Hutch, Philip and Victor. Toty, Lady Rabbit and Crackers are the girls (crackers about cheese!!!).
