| BREAGHA |
 | Gigha´s Pup was born on the 18th of August 2005 at 11.30am. Mother and pup have bonded well. A few visitor watched from the gallery as Gigha´s pup made it´s long awaited entrance into the world. This is her ninth pup and from what we can gather, the birth went smoothly and was rapid. Very quickly the pup went into the water and has spent all it´s time there since. The new pup is called Breagha (meaning beautiful in Gaelic). |
| UPDATE: 29th September 2005 This is very exciting news and she is currently making the change from Gigha's milk to fish, naturally it's taking a while but we're sure she'll work it out sooner or later. Gigha is doing well, she is fairly skinny at the moment but she is feeding well and is enjoying life and interacting well with the staff. |
| UPDATE: November 2005 Sadly we have to tell you that Breagha died on Saturday 22nd of October 2005. Gigha was attentive to her and raised her to weaning at 4 weeks. Sadly Breagha passed away, very unexpectedly and we are currently awaiting detailed results of her post mortem examination. Both Gigha and Lorne seemed almost unaffected by her dying, thankfully. |
| UPDATE: February 2006 The post mortem results revealed that Breagha had an aortic stynosis, which means that her heart valves were malformed. The only consolation is that she led a happy life up until the point that her heart stopped working and she shut down. She would have known nothing about it and we are able to say this because there was no water in her lungs and this shows that she did not drown, but she passed away in her sleep. |
