The "Birthing Area" we crafted
Since this was so unexpected and short notice we didn't have time (or funds) to get her anything fancy. Made this pen out of boxes and a tarp.
Babies moving in her belly @.@
It might be a little hard to tell, but the babies were REALLY tumbling around inside her a few hours before the birth. She struggled to get comfortable as the time grew near. We were expecting the puppies within 24 hours at this point. The vet told us after her temperature dropped to 98 that her labor would be starting soon.
Trying to get comfy
This was just an hour or so before her labor started, poor mommy was struggling to sit or lay down. She kept moving and rearranging herself. She really didn't understand what was going on. She kept crying and was very scared. She only calmed down when we got in the "birthing area" with her.
Surprise! First born
I tried to leave out the really gross ones but I thought this was kind of cool. The baby is still in the amniotic sac and Moxie is trying to break her free. Vet advised the puppies had 3 minutes of air before we had to step in. We did end up having to help her free most of the puppies. But she did great for a first(and last) time mom.
Hour after birth
Tried to clean up most of the mess after the birth. The whole process took about 3 hours. From about 12pm to 3pm.
Close up of the first born and fourth puppy
Momma passed out
This was about two hours after the birth. She was so tired she just passed out for a good three hours and the babies nursed a LOT!
Sleepy babies
About 9 days old
They sleep in weird positions.
And this
First born baby is starting to open her eyes!
Yawn

Pretty mommy

I'm more of a cat person but these are so damn cute
EverydayIsWednesday
As someone who grew up in the household of a reputable breeder and judge - don't let the puppies go to homes until they're at LEAST 12 wks.
Creamofsumyunggai
Poor baby.. She's just like "I don't feel too good".. " Omg!! I'm shitting puppies"
LordoftheSevenKingdomsandProtectoroftheRealm
Make sure they get good homes op :)
thotsandprers
When my shep had pups, we put a number sticker on them so all of them gets equal nursing sometimes some miss out and don't get food
KayakMarshSlayer
this is a good idea. though i also recommend colored leashes as stickers can rub off

When you said first (and last) time mommy, I didn't care but then I misread passed out as passed away. Made me real sad. Then I read caption

I took in a pregnant stray. 4 healthy kittens, got them all spayed & neutered & off to good homes and kept them mother (spayed & indoors).
Goob64
This makes me happy! I work at an animal shelter and it's sad to see all the unwanted animals. Thank you for doing the responsible thing.
yuyufan43
I would also like to say for the record that I took in a cat that had kittens and not a dog that had them...

Something you'll learn about huskies is that they never stop sleeping in weird positions. I often find mine sleeping with his feet up walls.

Your boss saw 5 $700 checks about to be cashed and wanted the dog back... :P

Really? I thought it was really just because she thought they couldn't handle it. I feel like boss would have pushed the subject otherwise.

^Very much this reason for the sudden concern and offer to take the dog and pups back.

Me too. But probably because I'm a girl.
HandsomeSwede
If everyone would stop perpetuating the idea that a man can't squeal over something cute then you wouldn't have to fucking type that out.
PlasticMac
It's just a joke though. Enjoy the joke.
HandsomeSwede
It's a joke that keeps unnecessary gender roles going.

And that's saying someone for a man with a username of butt stuff

Nothin' unmanly about butt stuff.
thisplaceisnotforyou
Hey, it takes quite a man's man to endure butt stuff and like it.
Navygirltrvlthewrld
Actually butt stuff is very pleasureable for bpth sexes, its the stigma that keeps a lot of people from trying it.
thisplaceisnotforyou
I've never enjoyed it so...source: me
Navygirltrvlthewrld
I hated my first try at it with an ex, took almost six years to try it again. You have to be switched on for it to work

Can you even imagine getting pregnant and birthing without the concept ever having been explained to you?

There was a 16 year old girl that showed up at my hospital with bad gas pain. She turned out to be 36 weeks pregnant and went into labor.

Your username is relevant...

My username is a vessel for projection. It means what you need it to mean in order to defend your overblown online ego. Texans are people.

Apparently it's your fragile humorless ego that got hurt... But do keep whining, it's funny.

After. Knowing increases anticipation, which in turn increases fear and the opportunity for poor decisions... Epidurals are awesome!
PedestrianElectrobastard
Other mammals don't suffer nearly as much as human women do during pregnancy, actually.
CassiopeiaGames
Because we domesticated it with drugs and doctors. If you ask me, fertility clinics is what will make humans go extinct.
CyberAkuma
I would have imagined dogs would have had some idea what to do from instinct
zedzdead
A lot of first time mothers from all different species of animals tend to abandon their babies. Especially if they're exceptionally young.
NoxxiGreenrose
To be honest, these instinctive stuff animals have is just such an interesting thing... like how turtles or tortoise go to water right away
LunaAdonia
Except a tortoise dies in the water
doctorbees
I've been told from animal behavior people that first-time moms often don't understand and there's a risk of abandoning the babies.
echonite
Humans do it too despite having information. *shrugs*
ImmortalSquid
My dad's dog was almost killed by his mom after she gave birth. She went a step beyond abandonment and straight into attack mode.
YouHaveCatToBeKittenMe
My dog did this and we had to bottled feed and help the dogs eliminate waste and all the fun stuff Moms do. It was pretty tiring and amazing
MarkKnightRises
Good on you!
Shannerwren
Jaycee Dugard was kidnapped at 11. At 13, she was told by her captors that she was 3-mos pregnant. She learned sex=baby from tv.
grumpylizbean
I had to Google her to find out more. It's so sad!
zedzdead
My god, that's such an awful situation. I cannot imagine how terrified she must've been.
Shannerwren
She wrote a book about her 18 yrs in captivity. I should've just donated $ & not read it. Even tho she was strong, her ordeal just so awful
WisdomPlaytime
I can't understand in her interviews how she's so calm & peaceful & well-adjusted after the childhood she had. I guess $20 million helps.
Wizzl3Dizzle
Any chance you will be adopting the puppies out? I am really interested in one if you are.
Sagax388
Yes, I'm interested, too!
littlesquishablecake
yes! I'm incredibly interested in a female one!
Wizzl3Dizzle
Just remember I asked first
emc3
I am also! My boyfriend and I really want a Husky but we'd rather not buy one when we could adopt.
MyHorseAteMyPaycheck
There are quite a few Husky-specific rescues that are currently ready for someone to adopt them:)
emc3
We have looked and not in our area unfortunately.
MyHorseAteMyPaycheck
Bummer:( Have you asked any of the closer ones if they'll "ship" a dog? Though, that does mean you don't get to meet them first.
emc3
We're not crazy with the idea with having a puppy shipped. We're just keeping our eyes on our local shelters for now.
abbynorml1979
No runts? That's awesome. When my dog had puppies (many moons ago) one was a runt and didn't make. so sad after something so beautiful
microbialmanipulator
I got the runt of a gsd litter last August. Was worried in the start but she turned out great
NachoManTX
many moon moons ago *
andshewillbe
My dog had a runt and she had the litter during the summer. Every day, so many times a day, after the normal pups fed I would isolate them/2
andshewillbe
And place the runt with mom so that he could eat. His name was Rosco and he lived to be an old happy dog. I was 8 at the time.
AliElkie
My cat had 6 kittens and I was so heartbroken when the littlest one died. That was about 15 years ago though, always spay now
icyvaynes
If the runt lives I always pick him/her. Tough cookie. Reminds me to be strong. Not only reason.
HeroQueenofAlbion
Years ago we had a runt and he would always grab a few kernels of food out of his bowl, walk like five feet away, then eat it.
BholaBalak
What is a runt?
icyvaynes
The smallest one. Normally doesn't live long. Which is sad.
hereforcake
Smallest of the litter and sometimes more health issues. Usually last to get food after birth cuz its smaller and weaker than litter mates.
AmIAVolcanologistYet
We've had a runt lab and mini dachshund. Both of them sassy and strong as hell. The doxie is still around and likes to sleep on faces.
gnocchtastic
I got a mini dachshund today. He's so tiny! OMG.
AmIAVolcanologistYet
Prepare to have him rule your life. They're stubborn, needy, and the best lap dogs you'll ever find.
gnocchtastic
I'm very excited!
gnocchtastic
I picked the runt. She was the best dog in the world but sadly riddled with disease. She died at nearly 3 :( I gave her a great life though.
icyvaynes
Im sorry. Happy you gave her a happy life. :)
gnocchtastic
Definitely, considering someone else may have just put her down due to the costs.
Willis1magillis2
You good person you. You can make a man cry. Not like I am doing that or anything....
gnocchtastic
Aww! That's sweet. There's no way I could not give her the best and whatever she wanted in the end. Good dog.
LunaTheCat
We thought my dog (9 at the time, very worrying) was pregnant. Brought her to vet, distended uterus, would have died within the day (1/2)
Wombatish
My mom's male cat started to look pregnant, was FIP (don't google, it's sad and fatal :c). So glad your babe was ok!
LunaTheCat
If she hadn't gotten the surgery. So happy everything is great with you though! I didn't almost cry out of cuteness or anything... (2/2)
concaveUsurper
My dog had one as well, but it's most likely from her being used on a puppy farm. They fixed it while we had her spayed and all was well
concaveUsurper
For context:She was found on the side of the road by relatives so we're not entirely sure of her origins, but the vet agreed with the theory
onegreatninja
Pyometra. Those suck! Glad she's okay now
beekachuuu
So glad you caught it in time and she's ok.

My Mom always says she loves the smell of puppy breath, it reminds her of White Out. Mom, did you have an office supply addiction???
Uhmcaitlin
TIL puppy breath has a specific scent
ThinkOfSomethingCleverAndGiveMeCredit
To me it smells like meat and rancid milk but some people love it.
CNNBRFIINF
Some love it. Some hate it. I love puppy breath. Smells sweet and roasty and homey to me.
whyarealltheusernamestakenimpanicking
I have a puppy (well he's 11 weeks now) but his puppy breath smelled like coffee :)
