Maternal and Puppies :)
I awoke from my deep slumber to the sound of two small squeaks. Thus, without hesitation I rose from my bed as fast as I could and an immediate smile greeted my face. My dog/daughter Amber has given birth to two of the most lovable puppies in the world. I patted Amber on the head as a sign of kudos to her successful delivery. Although I wish I was awake during the time of her first delivery to assist or comfort her in any way I can. To my excitement, I eagerly stretched my hand to touch one of the newborn pups but to my disappointment, Amber growled at me and she almost bit me. After that I was a little hesitant and kind of disappointed that she wouldn’t let me touch her liter. Still based on the books I read and with Amber’s maternal instincts kicking in, I knew that Amber was just being protective of her young ones and that behavior is natural and a given to any dog who just conceived.
A span of 30 minutes has passed and she delivered the 3rd puppy without a problem. I proceeded to make my early morning coffee as I waited for the next puppy. After another 20 minutes or so she delivered the last one. At that point Amber looked pretty worn down, so again I patted her head and I gave her some milk and she gulped the milk down like it was nothing. On a side note, as an advice to fellow first timers on dog births, only give calcium to a dog during active labor, it’s a proven fact that calcium helps the dog’s pushing efforts and of course this is based on research. After that I had to change the linens of her birthing box so all of them would be clean and comfy. Changing the linen box proved to be quite a handful. First off I couldn’t touch the puppies or I might get bitten and of course with the obvious fact that Amber does not want to be separated from her whelps even for just a second. Still I had no choice and I had to do it. So I grabbed Amber’s leash and I had to put her and I tied it my door know. She was pretty upset, hesitant and she wanted to go back to her pups in a heartbeat. I felt a little sick to my stomach and my heart dropped during that scenario. I suddenly missed and remember my mom and how I knew that like my Amber, she would do anything for her children and by that lesson I promise to do the same if I ever have children of my own in the future. Any who I was like “the flash” literally, I think I changed the linen and bedding in under a few seconds and I returned Amber to her pups asap. She immediately dashed, licked and smothered her pups, as a signal telling them that Mommy’s here and that everything would be okay which was really delightful sight to see.
I got to admit, I was pretty surprised and pleased with Amber’s actions considering that she’s a first time mom. She’s doing an awesome job of taking care of the puppies. She has a litter of four, three of which are females and a male. Also I am now able touch her pups without Amber trying to take a nip at me which to me was pretty heartwarming. It is now day 6 and so far so good. I am looking forward in seeing her pups grow and I can’t wait to cuddle and play with them. More updates soon enough.
P.S.
I would like to apologize to those peeps who are asking for puppies. I only have four and I plan on keeping one and even before Amber was preggy those pups were already on the reserve list. So let’s just see who gets lucky the next time Amber gets pregnant.

Always Talking Bout Changing :)
Ah the hopefuls, and yes I am back to blogging due to the fact that the Christmas break has screwed up my hours of sleep and of course the need to let out ideas and thoughts out of my brain in the form of writing. First of I would like to greet everyone a Happy Happy New Year. 2012 marks the apocalypse but I highly doubt it, I am still hopeful and optimistic about the future, and hey it’s a new year and it’s never too late to discover things and re-invent yourself.
Still I am lazy because of the holiday vacation haze. School has started today and again I felt the heavy weight of books, knowledge and cramming but I am ready. Also I have started my exercise regiment today and I promise to follow through on my new year’s resolution which is to lose tons of weight and live a healthier lifestyle. I have started running again and I increased my evening walks with Amber from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, needless to say while typing this my body is sore but it’s a good thing cause I can feel the tiredness creeping in and hopefully I’ll get proper sleep back in no time.
Amber is fast asleep with just the sound of the air conditioning and alternative songs on the background. Usually she would still be hyper after our walks begging me to play fetch with her but I think that extra 15 minutes got the best of her.
I read a few articles indicating that walking your dog is not only good for your canine companion but it also has tons of benefits for the owner as well. So in a nut shell it helps you lose weight and it also makes you a tad more cheerful which is good for the heart. I am a cardio lover hands-down and I’m not going to say that I’m going to try cause God knows I’ve tried and failed a lot of times with the exercise regiments, this time I am going to promise that I am going to commit. Less time sleeping and being a couch potato and more time getting my butt back to shape, besides I promised my brothers that I would be in shape before I finish nursing and that’s a promise that I long to keep.
School comes with stress, it’s a given. I need to find a few more things to do to clear my head from the hustle and burn-out of school. Last year I was barely able to finish a book, this time instead of watching a marathon of television series I vow to at least finish a few books to get my creativity and imagination running again cause I’m stuck at stalemate and my day dreams are beginning to fade out.
I am deeply looking forward to the promises of 2012. More adventures and travels, things to write about, Love and all that fun stuff is still up in the air, I have a feeling that this is the year, sooner or later I’m gonna be able to fly and get there. CHOW!
