Please read the following to understand my question, I know it is a bi long but I would really appreciate it!

A few days ago, my lovely springer spaniel Bailey have birth to 10 puppies. 1 of the puppies died in the birth and my father removed it and threw it in the bin.

The pups are now 5 days old and yesterday, I looked inside the kennel to find 3 of them lying down and not moving, as if they were sat on or squashed in the one area.

I lifted them out and noticed straight away one of them was moving his legs and streching.

I took them all into the house and put the blow dryer on the pups... 2 of them were dead, and i spent a good 40 minutes watching them constantly to make sure before I finally rolled them up in a towel and buried them.

Meanwhile, the other dog was coming along great and i used a syringe and some tepid cows milk with 2 drops of whiskey in it, and fed some of it to the dog. I left him to rest and came back a few hours later.

He was freezing cold and wasnt moving much, when i lifted and rubbed him, he sqeeked and started to move, I ran into my house and lay beside the fire with him, he quickly began to come back and move about alot and sqeek, i fed some warmish milk and kept rubbing him without taking my eyes of him for a solid 1 hour.

Along the while my father and sister kept shouting at me and making the whole process hell and told me to get rid of that dog before it gave us a disease!! I didnt listen, I couldnt leave that helpless baby and I knew in my heart that I would not give up until the bitter end.

I took him back outside and left him on my window sill, i then came back into the house and took the dog into my bedroom. I fed him some more milk through the syringe and he started sucking it himself and moving and sqeeking a lot, it was amazing. I keep feeding him with the syringe and some milk started to come out of his nose, so i held him up and gently rubbed his back and he did his wind and went back to lying down and sqeeking and mvoing, it was a major improvement. He also did a poo, which i was glad. I sat and admired the milk around his mouth, his little feet and nails and imagined the lovely owner who would be lucky to have him and the life he had ahead of him. I decided to call him Argo.

I decided to go to bed and set my alarm every 2 hours to get up and keep my eye on him.

I got up at 1am and he was amazing!! He started sqeeking like all the other puppies and i fed him some more from the syringe and he started sucking it. He was moving an awful lot now, so i got a good few pillows and placed the, beside each other so that he had plenty of room. I made a hot water bottle and put it under one of the pillow cases he was on top of, and wrapped him in a sheet for warmth as my room was freezing! It was like he was coming back.

I got back up at 3am, and he was the same, and he was moving an awful lot more and squeaking. I felt if he could survive tonight, he could go back into his kennel tomorrow.

I then woke up at 5am and i was totally exhausted, I could hear him sqeeking and I decided to lie in bed for a few more minutes before I got up.... but I fell back asleep and awoke at 6:30am naturally.

I didnt hear anything, SO i got up.... and I couldnt find him anywhere!!! I pulled all the pillows away, all the blankets! looked under my bed everywhere!! I then decided to check the blankets and pillows again and a few minutes later I discovered him inside the pillowcase at the bottom end!

I pulled him out and tried rubbing him and heating him.... but it was no use he was gone.

I then youtubed this, and found a video of a girl shaking and rubbing pups to try and get thier circulation back.... i did this and heard a sqeek.... but nothing more...... I think it was just the sqeek of the shaking the air out of him and in him...

I sat with him cuddles beside me in my bed for 3 whole hours trying to rub him, warm him, pray for a miracle!! every single thing!!!

I then had no other choice but to kiss him and have one last look at him before I wrapped him in the towel.... i took one good smell of him and was reminded of the milk i was feeding him... i looked at his tail, his nails, his feet and the milk marks around his mouth, i seen just hours ago.....

WHY DIDNT I GET UP AT 5:30AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF!! AS I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT HE WAS SURVIVING!! I REALLY TOHUGHT I COULD SAVE HIM!

I finally tried rubbing, bending, shaking him and blowing into his mouth with cpr before I gave up and took the final look at him........... nobody else one arth would ever see his face of know him... even if it was for a short while, i absoloutly loved this pup!

I fought agaisnt everyones negative thinking to save him and i couldnt...

i just buried him an hour ago...... he is now gone forever,....

Can someone help me feel better?!

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have animals.

Where can I find this wrist watch?

Adacadus

Does anyone know of a website or shop where I could find this wrist watch, or even just details of it (manufacturer etc.).

- I have only seen it as a special offer at ALDIs.
- Price inc. VAT was £4.99
- Range described as "sports and leisure watches"
- I believe the brand to be "Ascott", but that may be the model, or even just the style of watch.
- Main dial showing hrs and mins
- Small dial showing secs
- Small windows showing day and date
- Glass backed
- Real clockwork with self-winding mechanism
- Chrome or bronze on display with both black and white faces available

I have tried the Aldis website, but due to the apparently haphazard way that they run their special offers, I could not find the product.

I am looking to buy the watch by post or internet if I cannot get it in a UK shop.

Thank you for your time and effort,
Dac
