Irish Wolfhounds of Beltine
Litter from Faith of Beltine and Wolfhouse Umberto
15-01-2010
In labour.
I didn't feel well this morning, I could only eat half my breakfast. She knew immediately what that might mean andshe left for work with a worried look on her face. He was sure she was being overanxious again. Ena was being very sweet. She had a litter last year, I guess she understood exactly how I felt. When she came home from work she looked at me again with big eyes. Then I overheard her telling him that it might be better to call Icewolf's new owners. They planned to come and get him tomorrow, but she explained to them that they would have to wait, if I was giving birth that day, until all my puppies would be born. I wanted to skip the evening meal as well, but he did put something special in it, so I forced myself to almost finish it. Early that evening Icewolf's people came and took him with them, and afterwards he started to prepare my whelping-quarter. He was convinced I would wait until Sunday to start delivering. I was due for the 18th of January. She said we could not wait any longer and so I was moved to that special part of the house. She introduced me to the little light grey whelp from Devlynn and Embassador, the one that would stay with us. They call her Nina. I didn't like it when she tried to suck, but once she understood I was not just another mother to her, we did get along quite well. Nina felt something was wrong with me, so she did do her best to support me all night. She also staid awake, but sometimes she left me for a while to play with her washing- and other machines, which I didn't like at all! I slept a little bit that night, in between contractions, but only when she staid awake to watch over me.
Icewolf's last evening with Nina...
When he was gone Nina cried a little, while they cleaned and rebuild the giant wooden box the other way 'round... and then finally... I could return to my favourite place!
Oh lord, they really want me to share the place with this little one ?
Once I was there I realized I've also had a lot of fun with Ena in the kitchen.. mmm.... indeed a very nice place to be.. you never knew what would come up before your nose, or fall out of the air! But I don't feel hungry now... My belly seems kind of full...
So it might be for the best to get adjusted over here... the little one seems to have respect for adults...
I hope he will keep her on his knees, so I can take a nap... I feel tired...
I wonder how long he will be able to keep her, you see him losing his attention? He likes to watch TV....
I''l have a chat with the little one myself...
Ok.! She's a clever one! It didn't take her long to understand!
