Puppies!!

Sorry, but, I just have to write a whole new blog for what just happened! It doesn't deserve to be squished in with the nesty rat blog. Ew.

A few days ago, Amare informed us that they suspected Luna (one of our three dogs) was pregnant. He explained that he felt this way because, "her breasts are getting very big" to which Masresha answered, "that's inappropriate."

Turns out she was indeed pregnant! This morning, we noticed Luna was missing. Kendra kept asking Amare where Luna was, but he didn't know. Finally he and Desta went on a hunt for her. After a few minutes, Amare came running back into the house to tell us that Luna was having puppies! We hurried out to see.

She had made herself a little spot under one of the beds in the extra room next to the outside kitchen I told you about in the last blog. There she was, licking and licking one verrrrry tiny and very adorable little black puppy! Kendra, Amare, Desta and I made camp on the floor to watch. Shortly after, she had a second puppy! This one was a little white and black one. Both are boys. When Luna began chewing off the umbilical cord (yeah, gross) Amare decided he had had enough...he jumped up yelling, "aw ewww!" We stayed and watched for quite some time.

We're pretty sure Bobby (one of our other dogs...the one who ate the goat head) is the father. The puppies have a stricking resemblence to him. That, and Bobby seemed quite concerned all morning. He kept coming in and peeking around the corner at Luna.

It was pretty much adorable...the puppies are so super tiny and they look pretty darn cute right now! When we left, they were cuddled up with their mommy making cute little puppy noises. We're pretty excited to go home and check on them.

Happy Birthday, Pongo and Oreo! :)
