Tootsie went to see her mate Kip (CH Imbali Kipenzi JW), who lives in Bracknell Berkshire on 19 July 2002. They got on so well together that she went again two days later. They were very happy to see each other again!!

On 20 August Tootsie went to the vet to have a scan which confirmed that she is in pup and can expect eight or more puppies about 22 September 2002.
