It seems like forever today!

Few days ago Alycies (Shanna’s Dog) gave birth to two very healthy and cute puppies, I was oblivious from the whole thing, I was asleep as usual, they tried to wake me up but I am too tired or too lazy to get up. (I also had the same attitude when our other dogs gave birth to their puppies…I was throwing my attitude saying why do they have to give birth in the middle of the night?!)

(As if my own dog Ramsie read my thoughts she waited for me to be awake today before she gave birth to her baby.) In my tantrums mood: mommy, I think there is something wrong with ramsie, she’s supposed to give birth to her puppies last night right?! Before my mom could finish her answer from my question ramsey gave birth to her baby in front of me and I was jumping up and down and shouting, “Ayan na nanganak na!,” they all run to her, to assist her while I am shocked from what I’ve witness had been paralyzed to my position, I can only shout… it’s crazy seeing how the puppy looks after it comes out of it’s mother…it’s so fragile I can’t bring myself to touch it. After that I was assigned to look after the baby and ramsie…the baby to make sure ramsie”s taking care of it well and ramsie to shout again if she gave birth to more babies…which happened after a long hours of wait…Princess the first baby (my mom suddenly called her that, so it was her name now… My Mom: Princess…drink your milk now… I looked at her and she was shocked but then we decided to call her that.) was born today at 9:50 am but the second baby was born on 7:17pm and the other 3 followed…because of this, more traumatizing event also happened (at least for me) the second and 4th puppies both die, and it really broke my heart, I was only able to rejoice for the lives of the other three, after few more hours that I was helping them 3 to feed on their mother’s milk.. Seeing the process, taking of what seems a plastic covering from those puppies, cutting the umbilical cord, it scares me to dead, I have to hold my breath every time ramsie give birth to her babies…I love all of them now, even though we have to sell them because we cannot afford to keep them, no space at home, we already have 9dogs now. I can only hope for a good and lovinghome for them. I want to personally bury the two dogs, it’s sad that they dies, but the second baby is closer to my heart because he was fighting for his life, trying hard to survive but it’s just too late when we got the plastic covering
from him.
