The Waiting

Well it's been awhile since I last posted. The day after I posted the last blog, Kuna began having doggie morning sickness. It's not much different than a pregnant woman as she can't eat in the morning and she throws up, sometimes dry-heaving. With Kuna, if you knew her, she is so sensitive about everything. She is very in-tune to the whole family, with her body and with her surroundings. She is very good at knowing when someone in the family is sad or upset or sick. She is also the biggest baby you have ever met. So when she doesn't feel good she lets us ALL know it. Lol, she has these eyes that just say, "Please make this all go away!" She is very needy and she needs constant petting and loves. I am probably the only one who doesn't mind, lol.

Many boxer females do not show when they are pregnant until late in the pregnancy. It's my opinion it's because that have such huge and flexible rib cages. Kuna is not showing at all. there are only small indicators and only a few significant indicators: her teats are swollen and she has the morning sickness. If I had to guess she IS pregnant, but you always second guess yourself when you can't SEE the proof.

So it's a waiting game. If you've ever had a litter of puppies, you know how darn cute they are. A boxer litter of puppies are even more so. During her first litter, Kuna turned out to be an amazing mother. She's a natural and she also created healthy babies. I have high hopes that it will be the same with this litter. I wouldn't mind if she didn't have the huge litter like she had before: 8 very large puppies. That's a lot of puppies for such a little momma!!! Despite their cuteness they take over your life for 6-8 weeks. It will be worth it when I get a great puppy to follow in Max's footsteps.

So that's it for now. I hope to see some physical proof in the next few days. Maybe the pups will drop and all doubt will be removed.
