For some strange reason I have not been following up with Ira's breast development for some weeks now. I checked today, 10 days to go and voila! there is milk and the breast have grown significantly larger even larger than that of season one at this period.

Aww! very sweet of you. Amen ooo

I am feeling low today day 55 cos Ira has not been eating well. I guess I will have to make her food more appetising. She is not her hyperself ofcourse and was not even happy to see me when I brought her food. She threw up yesterday I am not sure how many times.

I took her for a walk round the compound after which she drank some water.

As I was typing this an Idea came to me to try giving her bread. when I took it to her, she almost pounced on me. I cut the bread over her food. she has eaten the bread and is eating the food now.

So the bread trick is now what I will do but I know it won't last long so I will have to get creative.

Hmmm I feel a lot better now.

meanwhile, she has white discharge in her eyes. I guess it's as a result of dust cos harmattan has set in well here.

I guess I was worried about her not eating too soon. Well I decided to give her her food in bits and when I took the second bit, she was all up and excited finished it in no time and I had to add more.

The discharge in her eyes were gone and I saw the clear discharge from her vulva on the ground where she urinated.

Awww

Days 56,57 and 58. Ira's moods and energy levels have been fluctuating from very low to very high and so on. On day 57, I woke up to a very active Ira she even jumped on me something she has not done in a while. She ate her food hassle free. I added Irish potatoes to her food (it was not well mashed) she threw up and became very sick later on.

when I brought her evening ration, she could hardly stand on her legs. The food was repulsive and she avoided it they way humans would avoid poop. I got really scared. We wanted moving her from the backyard where she has been for a while now to her regular room in case the puppies were ready. We could not lift her it was like she weighed a ton.

She was too heavy and lazy to move. We then decided to entice her with bread and it so worked! She just uped and followed the bread like in the story of hansel and Gretel. Went to check on her a couple of times at night.

She had drank a lot of water almost a bucket full. we woke up to see a pool of pee in her room like it rained.

Today, day 58, her energy level has been relatively stable. Her appetite is not so great but she got something down.

There is less discharge in her eyes but the eyes are red than usual.

She is currently roaming round the compound since she doesn't move much and does not even bark at anything unlike before.

I can just sense the genuine love in every word you type.
One question, from previous knowledge. I learnt its bad to allow a dog stretch or jump when shes pregnant, how true is this? Plus whats the cost of a puppy and where is your location?

yeah I also heard about the stretching thing but I am not really sure if it's true or not. But worry not, we will soon find out cos my Ira stretches for africa. I know jumping is not good even in humans when pregnant. it will be wise to minimise jumping as much as possible.

The cost of puppy is yet to be decided and we are based in Jos.

why are the best Caucasians in jos

what a lovely dog, my regards to baby Ira I wish I can have one of ira's puppy when she litter, safe delivery Ira.

Thanks. I really appreciate. Amen

Day 59, high burst of energy plus barking. low appetite. Mixing her food with bread did not work much so I mixed with Indomie and it did the magic.

due date coming!!!

I would like picking one out of the puppies.add me up let talk 08032898063

day 61! by now I thought I would be too busy nursing mummy and pups to even make a post but that is so not the case. I was busy on my groundnut farm just to take my mind off Ira and my anxiety over her lack of progression.

It's funny how I was worried some days back when she was not eating and could not move. Today, I am worried that she has too much energy and has a nice appetite.

Well Ira has been behaving less ready to whelp. She has so much energy and is back to her old self (barking, jumping and all) I have since restrained her once again.

I really hope all is well. I have Googled to see if there was a case like this without much luck.

I will wait till day 69 and see.

wishing ira the best if luck and safe delivery

I also noticed the belly does not look as big as it was and one side bulges out more than the other side. I think the puppies are moving round that's why.

safe delivery to haaa.....n whch area r u in jos

Thank you very much.

Yes it is.

Cant believe I read a dog thread from the first page to the last.
one thing I notice is the op actually takes time a lot to study his dogs and know how they feel .
Very nice one op

one puppy is here! I will gist u all about it later. God is awesome.

I woke up to see Ira strong and kicking as usuall and I was really disappointed. I fed her some of my leftover Semo and soup and she gulped it down like she. was starving. That act disappointed some more. In my frustration, I walked away deciding to cook her food much later.

I went about my chores nope I went about browsing first and getting hope despair at the same time. I decided to channel the energy into house chores.

An hour later, I casually said to check on her and there it was, a puppy on the ground (speak of a miracle).
