DEEP THOUGHTS FROM PRUDENCES PREGNACY! DEEP FOR ME. MAY STILL BE SHALLOW END OF POOL.
Meg here! I'm sorry I've been a bit absent. Prudence has popped. My wayward, slutty street dog has now garnered more respect and love than I can put into words. You know me, I have never met a sentence I didn't like. To render me speechless is quite like climbing Everest.
I am in awe of my dog. Yup, totally in awe of her. I don't think I've ever met a better being in my entire life and I've met a lot of beings.
Let me paint the picture for you. We've had in-depth conversations about the purpose of the birthing den. I dyed my hair a few days ago and kept the plastic gloves that came with the kit.
"You see these gloves Prudence? Well I've washed the dye off them and I'm putting them to the side here for your birth. I'm not afraid. I'm all in. I'll just put on these gloves and we can birth you!" I was so proud of myself.
Prudence was probably thinking "You useless nit. I don't want those damn Clairol gloves near my newborns. Thanks for the color-coordinating birthing den. I'm color blind you tool. I can see I'm going this alone. Thanks but really, no thanks."
I woke up about 6:45am to a weird "meep." Prudence was not sleeping next to me with her head on the pillow and full body stretch. She is my dog husband. She is my dog husband except we are not married, she is not male and she is, hello? A dog.
"Meep" I jumped into action and did what any normal self-sufficient 34-year-old woman would do. I ran down the hall screaming "Help me!" My 24 year-old roommate got out of bed as I shrieked "I think they're here!!"
We made our way to the closet where the birthing den was. I have a fabulous baby-pink ruffled curtain that was shielding Prudence for privacy. I hesitantly pulled it back and we peered in on the new mother. She gave me a look I know all too well "Yeah, I did it. Some help you were. You were "sleeping" did you really need that fourth pinot noir?"
I swear to God Prudence called in a cleaning crew while I slept. I have had messier periods. There was no tell-tale sign she just had birthed. I think she called her "cleaner" mob friend from her Compton street days and had him come in. "Hey, Bruno. Pru here (back then her name was probably Star) I have a situation. I have it real nice here and I can't upset my useless mother, so bring a mop and a bottle of Belvedere and we're all good."
Once the curtain was drawn back I was in a Disney movie. Prudence was just feeding her babies and licking them and acting like this was totally normal. She loves them. I mean she loves them more then anything I've ever seen. She is licking and kissing them and wont leave their side. Today was the first day I could get her to leave them for 5 minutes so she could go outside and go to the bathroom. As soon as she was done she ran back to our birthing mecca and continues to tend to their every need. Her level of commitment is absolutely jaw dropping.
Was it totally 100% easy? No. I mean the process was. I had no process. I also wondered why Prudence's tail was down (along with her head) when I peered in on her. She was sad. I was told there would be four pups and only three were nursing. I looked for the fourth and found a gorgeous, white female pup that didn't make it. It was sad and thankfully my roomie took her aside so I could bring her to the vet to be properly laid to rest. I know that was not easy on Prudence and it was with a heavy heart I had to bring "Mildred" away.
So now we have three Prudence babies and we love them and I am screwed. I don't want to give any of them away. If you know a single, wealthy rancher with a lot of property, a kind heart and doesn't mind a wife that wants to be in Hollywood 4 out of 7 days then please email me. I think I can make that work.
The amazing thing about watching this bond is knowing I'll never have it. Does it make me sad? No, quite the opposite. When we made Prudence go poop outside for the first time she ran back to my closet door and went insane until I caught up to let her back in. I thought "Wow, I will never love anything like that ever." After I said it, it was pretty liberating.
I am committed to Prudence's baby's until I find them fabulous homes in two months. I'll get these dogs lifestyles of the rich and famous amazing homes. Easy. I'm very lucky that I not only know the richest people in B.H. but the kindest.
Prudence and I? Well, we're totally bonded and she's awesome and once she is a newly independent woman. I'm thinking we should do the month of July in Paris. I've never been and I don't think Pru has. I think we'll do quite well there actually.
I said it and it shall be. Prudence and I are coming to Paris for the month of July. Any Meg Heads with any suggestions? What about your birthing schedule? Are you doing off-spring?

Awww, congratulations!! And have fun in Paris :)
Congrats! They are all just adorable! Prudence looks like a very proud mama! So sorry that one of the puppies didn't make it. And now you can add Doggie Doula to your already amazing resume! Contact the shelter you got Prudence from and they may be able to help you place the puppies. And I know how hard it will be to say au revoir to them. One of our dogs is a beagle rescue and they have asked me several times if I would foster. Sure, and 467 dogs later something is going to have to give because I wouldn't give one of those dogs up! You have a heart of gold. Give Pru a hug for me! She rocks.
have fun in paris! :)
I believe in karma and believe that this little creature was "placed" in your care for a reason: she needs you and you need her:)
Enjoy and well done in spite of the gloves,LOL!
Love!

Dear Meg, you must be exhausted (mentally - at least a bit, no?) and you must be STROKE at the same time! Some girls in your place would just run and run... away... you seem to be handling it all well and you make it sound so funny.
Congratulations to Prudence, you see, they know what to do. It one of those proofs of God, i think. Sorry about the lost one, but usually there is some health problem that takes the weakest out fast. Paris in July, oh my dear! That is when the locals leave town and it gets hot, April is better, i actually like May. Whatever floats your boat. They are much more civilized about dogs and cafes there but don't you have to do the confinement thing with animals entering Europe? I had friends that traveled there regularly with their Briard but they said something about doctor's health certificates.Enjoy the babies,don't igonre Mama, its easy with those round bellied wonders.

No wailing, no screaming, just a 'meep' from a puppy after it was all over... Nature is a marvel. Some of the women from those birthing shows could take a lesson from Prudence! Joking aside, congrats on your new litter!
Congrats! They look so adorable!
Such cute puppies!
Congrats on the newest additions to your family! There is truly something magical about puppies/kittens/any baby animals in general. :)
