Liz Fletcher was overcome with emotion in Fletcher’s Family Farm series 4, which will air on Sunday
Liz Fletcher was left emotional upon discovering that the family’s cherished dog, Ginger, was expecting puppies. In the upcoming series of Fletcher’s Family Farm, set to air on Sunday, Liz described the revelation as the “best news” after learning her dog was pregnant.
As the vet arrived, Kelvin Fletcher’s wife cradled her pet and explained: “Here is your patient, not your usual farm animal. But it would be good to know, as we are all guessing, and it would be good to know if it is a yes or no.”
She continued: “There have been a few symptoms or signs, and I think she has been behaving differently.”
When questioned about Ginger’s behaviour, Liz elaborated: “Eating a lot, then off her food, then very clingy, I think she is getting wider. She does seem a bit wider.”
During the examination, vet Hugo scanned Ginger’s stomach and confirmed that the family dog was indeed expecting. “You can see a puppy there,” he told Liz, the Express reports.

Liz let out a gasp as he continued: “That is a cross-section through a puppy. You can see ribs, legs.”
“Oh my god, I can see it moving,” Liz exclaimed as the vet revealed there were two distinct pups visible on either side.
Speaking afterwards, Liz said: “Hugo, I think that is the best news you’ve ever given me.
“Better than the cows?” he enquired, prompting Liz to respond: “Well, it is a close one, but she is just our baby. Oh my god, you are having pups.”
She concluded: “Very happy that it is good news.”
