It might seem a bit odd for a tech at a shelter to be excited about a pregnant dog about too give birth, but i helped nurse her through pneumonia and emaciation so I’m happy that she’s healthier and finally going to not be full of 10+ puppies. She arrived at about 50 days along and this is day 63. She also was found running loose with an intact male husky that we are assuming is dad.
So the entire shelter is basically on puppy watch and demanding updates from the foster mom and were all going nuts over puppies. We’re human and well… Puppies.
So apparently she waited for my coworker to get off work (she’s super bonded and won’t sleep unless my coworker is snuggling her), was let out to pee, and then dragged foster mom to the whelping box and went into labor proper! I should have puppy pictures to share tomorrow morning!
I seriously love this mama dog. She’s so sweet and just wants to be loved and even dad is unusual calm and affectionate for a husky. The babies should be really good tempered with such parents. And they’re gonna be little potato pups and I hope they’re all sorts of colors and patterns and eeeeeeeeeeeee
The first puppy has landed!
He has husky face mask! Looks like husky is indeed the daddy!
puppy #2 and it’s a little boy. Looks like he’s going to take after dad.
Mama dog is popping babies out left right and center now. There was a 2 and a half hour break between the first 2 and now there’s five total, 4 of those born in the last hour. Four of the pups are pale, leaving the first born girl sticking out like a sore thumb.
Final tally was 13 puppies! I was sure there was at least 12 (vets thought 10 so HA!). When foster mom sends me a family pic ill post it. Most puppies are pale colored apparently.
The commentator narrating the pup’s moves with the ball is AMAZING and I’m crying
“(…) right, but he decides to kick the ball. He gets close, and who grabs it? The Friend(dog)! Yes! A pup got into the field. He’s tied to it. He puts it under his paws and shows what football was missing in the Gasometro (field’s name). The [team]’s men want to grab him, but they cant! The Friend has his eyes on the ball. He runs to find it again. Yes! He bites! He kneads! He wants it close! He gets lost, he’s so happy! Castro (player) wants to kick his Corner but he can’t. He tells the pup “enough, enough, go over there”… however *commentator laughs*, there’s the pup! When he puts it on the floor, [the dog] goes again for the ball. And of course, as any skilled man, wants it all for himself. A bit of an over-eater, this pup. And he clearly has shown conditions / talent. [The team] found the way to the goal thanks to the Pichicho’s (little dog) essential input…. who, of course, as any protagonist had his place at [the tv show].“
*camera switches to interview where dog barks and mounches on the reporter’s mic (who allows him do it)*
I’ve been watching Argentinean football all my life and I can confirm this is the best to ever happen on a match.
