My dog had puppies | Watch her full, uncensored and kinda graphic birthing
Nine days ago, last friday, my great dane AKA Fiona - yes, like Shrek's girl - decided she would get ahead of her due date and give birth to nine crossbreed puppies. She got pregnant by Denzel, my Belgian Shepherd and she was supposed to give birth around October 5 but hell, I guess you can't put a pin on a date when it comes to dogs - or births in general I guess.
I had never attended - or better yet, assisted - a puppy birthing but I knew I had to be there not only because I wanted to witness it but also because I wanted to make sure everything went well and how it is supposed to go. I read, researched a bit and asked my vet friends to be at least a bit prepared for it and know what to expect and how to deal with it.
The video itself
Out of 45 minutes of footage I managed to bring it down to 12 minutes of interesting clips from the first puppy being born to Fiona taking care of her newly formed full family.
We set up a nice nest for her in the garage below our carpenter's table but, you know how women are (just kidding), she decided she didn't like it and decided to start digging holes in the garden and set up store in the middle of it next to a spider colony. Well, it's her choice, it's a pity she decided to start the birthing at almost 10 pm.
It's gonna be a hell of a long night I guess.
After the third baby and 2 hours assisting, me and my father conviced (actually we coerced her by taking her babies away and bring them to the nest inside the garage) Fiona to take the birthing inside, that's why there's a change of scenery after a few minutes of recording.
While not being the most perfectly recorded video since it was my first time assisting a birthing and actually recording parts of it, I think this is a pretty good vid regarding the topic.
I really hope you like it.
There's nine of them and I'm only planning on keeping one, so if you want a puppy please let me know, I'll make sure to send it via steem-mail-services :P
