Puppies that arrived in a hurry ... in a car on way to the vet!
STARING sweetly at the camera, they look as if they couldn’t put a paw wrong.
But these six snow- white puppies’ entry into the world wasn’t quite so serene.
Owner Fiona Sutton, who had never bred dogs before, was given a real scare when her three-yearold miniature schnauzer Frosty, began giving birth in her lap as the pair were driven to the vet.
‘My friend Mary was driving and they started coming out right there on to my lap, I was panick- ing and didn’t have a clue what to do,’ the events manager said.
‘And then when we got to the vet they couldn’t get the pups out at all. It was absolutely terrifying... we were convinced something was going wrong.’ Mother-of-two Mrs Sutton, from London, said the vet was forced to give Frosty an emer- gency caesarean but eventually the six pups – Alf, Porridge, Gabriel, Snowy, Jemima and Little Blue – were born happy and healthy on September 22 at Village Vets in Hampstead.
The family have agreed to give away all of the puppies except Porridge. ‘It will be traumatic to see them go but I think Frosty might t actually be a bit relieved to get t some peace,’ Mrs Sutton added.
‘The kids have been taking pho- tos with them and cuddling them, , so they will be heartbroken. But t almost everyone we knew wanted d one, so we were able to choose e people we knew well.’
