Barking Up The Wrong Tree

My Dog Is Pregnant

Well, at long last! It’s taken five and a half weeks but finally, a little belly is showing and my dog Bailey is definitely pregnant, hurrah!

I don’t know where that belly suddenly came from. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been checking and checking.  Sometimes she’d stretch out and look like she definitely wasn’t and then other times, she’d look a little podgy – but then I’d wonder if it was just the way she was lying or had I been feeding her too much chicken and giving too many treats?

I bathed her two nights ago because she was absolutely stinking and she looked a bit podgy then, but then she always looks larger when she’s all fluffy after a bath. However, last night I got home and all of a sudden, strangely she looked pregnant. There’s a definite bulge and her tummy feels quite firm. I think we’re having puppies people!

Here’s a picture of her last litter at about six weeks old if I remember correctly. Needless to say, it took a while to get this one right!

There’s plenty to do … just need to break it to the lodger now…
