Woof………
As I promised in my last blog, it’s now time to tell you all about the traumatic birth of my puppies!
My pregnancy went really well, Mummy said I was very good and never complained, the real bonus was that I got fed THREE times a day, amazeballs!!
Anyways my due date arrived, but my babies didn’t want to come out. Then another day, and another, and another, finally Daddy phoned Mummy, cos she was at work, to tell her I was being restless. All afternoon I just couldn’t get comfy at all. Later I was allowed to go to bed upstairs, pawsome, so they could keep an eye on me. All night I was uncomfortable and kept telling Mummy. The next morning Mummy didn’t go to work, she stayed at home to help me. I was very restless and didn’t know where to lay, I finally snuggled on the back of the sofa.
About six o’clock in the evening I started to get really big pains in my tummy, it really hurt, but I was very brave. They got stronger and stronger, then I felt like I needed to push, I pushed and pushed, but nothing happened:( I kept sleeping and pushing then sleeping again, but still nothing. I looked at Mummy and said I can’t do it. Mummy asked a Vetandhairy friend what should she do, she told her maybe it was time to call our Vetandhairy, she said I needed to go and see her, it was almost eleven thirty at night, way past my bedtime!
Mummy and Daddy took me in the car, the nice Vetandhairy lady examined me (not nice) and said my puppies weren’t where they should be! She said I had to stay and have an operation to get them out of my tummy, it’s called a caesarean. I had some medicine that made me sleep, when I woke up two puppies were there, eek, and I had a zip in my tummy!!
Mummy collected me and my babies, but I was really, really sleepy. I didn’t want to bother with them, I didn’t know what to do, Mummy stayed up all night with me, she made the puppies have some of my milk every half hour and cleaned them for me. Mummy was worried I wouldn’t want my babies, but by morning I had woken up properly and thought, well I’ll just have a look at them, I did and I fell paws over tail in luff with them. I cleaned and cleaned them until they were shiny and fed them my milk, Mummy said I am the bestest Mummy ever:) Here’s some photos of my babies….
