The beginning of a story
To begin this blog, I want you all to meet my puppies!
They were born in the 7 November 2005. The delivery time was long and very difficult. It was from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm. A total of 11 puppies were inside my lovely dog Kansas. Each of the puppies got out from her womb every 30 minutes. I was very sorry that I could not attend from the beginning of the delivery to help on her because I was at school. When I returned from a long day of school at 4:00, I saw one dead puppy and I was shocked. Oh my God, the puppies are coming to the world! But what happened to this unconscious puppy? Then I rushed to the study room where Kansas was delivering and I saw 2 puppies alive and healthy next to my dad. My sister was helping in the delivery. I was surprised and excited at the same time. Then I saw Kansas and she was quite tired and stressed but she didn't stop licking a puppy next to her which was just born. "She's dead" my sister said "Retire her while she is not looking, and put it next to the one which is outside. So far, there's two dead ones". I then retired the dead puppy silently without Kansas's knowledge.
I returned to the study room to assist the rest of the delivery. Delivering was good and a unique experience. I was previously prepared by reading websites such as http://www.seefido.com/html/dog_-_puppy_delivery__whelping.htm. They taught me what to do and gave me some tips such as "By general rule, female dogs eat placentas, which is a normal conduct. Normally, the mother will bite the umbilical cordon if the puppy retains his connection with the placenta"(seefido.com, 2005). I wouldn't know that before reading that, and I would thought that my dog was crazy because she is eating placentas. I still remember the palcentas's smell and how hurtful it looked when my dog was biting the umbilical chord, which according to the website, this is normal behaviour.
The puppies rested and drank colostrum after the birth. They slept next to their mummy in the study room, so she could keep them warm "Puppies sleep together at the beginning, to preserve body heat, gradually separating as their capacity of thermo regulation develops" (seefido.com, 2005). I counted 9 puppies alive, and 2 dead. So that forms an eleven-football team. I was so happy. However I was quite disappointed, since there was one male puppy and the rest were female puppies. Female ones are difficult to sell, since people prefer male puppies. The ones that were dead were a male and a female. The dead male was the first one to be born, and I could observe that he was the biggest one. Is a shame that they died.
Fact of the day: "Golden Retrievers are trained for search & rescue, arson detection, drug detection, therapy dogs, hearing dogs, guide dogs for the blind, and handicap assistance dogs. Not to mention outstanding hunting and personal companions" (topgoldenretrieversites.net, 2005). Therefore, there is no reason why anyone wouldn't want a nice golden retriever.
