After coming out of the C-section anaesthetic, Piper took to her new family straight away. It had been an eventful night and I left them at 1am while they stayed overnight in a lovely warm environment at the vet clinic.

I returned at lunch time the next day to expect we might have lost 1 or 2, but to my delight, all eight were thriving and being very well looked after by mum Piper.

It was a quick 10 minutes travel back home to NakiBorders where her motel room was well set up and ready for her new family.
