Welcome to motherhood Mommy WAFFLE!!!

It is beautiful to be able to give birth to a new life, be it a human or an animal...and trust me, witnessing it with your own eyes, is a beautiful experience in itself, (though some parts are a little ...), but when you see that little pup come out, it truly is a moment you will remember for the rest of your life.

On the night of July 6, 2018, around 11 in the evening, Waffle showed extreme restlessness and discomfort. She shivered, whined and breathed heavily, and even vomited at this stage. This is happening due to the dilation of the cervix and the beginning of the contractions in the uterus, which can be painful. This stage lasted 5-6 hours.

Around 4 am of July 7, 2018, Waffle entered the next stage of labor wherein the uterine contractions begin to get more forceful and the water sack bursts out. This was when she gave birth to her first pup and expelled the placentas from her body. The second pup came out after an hour. 

Waffle is now a MOMMY!!! 

Here they are,,,two boys!!! Welcome to the world babies!!!

Waffle, It's about time....

It is scientifically proven that in dog years, one-year-old dogs are fit and ready for mating. Therefore, as a pet parent, it is crucial for me to plan the process. I was advised to not breed Waffle after her first heat (periods). Getting her mated immediately after her first heat increases complications during pregnancy, resulting in high chances for stillborn puppies. We waited for the right time, maybe when she is about three-years old.

And the right time came last May 02, 2018. I was able to look for a male pomeranian which was a recommended by a friend. I observed that Waffle showed signs of readiness during her heat cycle. I bathed her right before she is due to come in season, and had her hair trimmed away from the area directly around her vulva to present a clean and clear entry. I paid P5000 pesos for the stud service including the so-called “shooter” who assisted the canine couple while mating.

Her breeding has been completed, it took some time to find out if it was a success. We will be able to tell if a litter is on the way a lot sooner if you learn to spot the signs of pregnancy. 

In the first few weeks, I did not notice changes. As her pregnancy continues, a growing belly, an increase in her weight, an enlargement to her nipples, a loss of hair around her nipples, and a hearty appetite were seen. So, when she reached six weeks,  I took her to her vet. The veterinarian confirmed through x-ray and ultrasound that Waffle is expecting 2 puppies.

Lovable Dog Quotes

This is really true. Dogs are really affectionate. They give me unconditional love everyday.

They do not care how I smell or if I just had a really bad day. No matter what the situation is, they are happy to see me.

Dogs don’t even hold grudges. I can mess with their tail, keep away with their food, and pull on their ears, even if it frustrates them. And my dogs will forget all about it and treat me like their best bud within a couple minutes!

They are full-pledged family members. When one of them is sick, I worry and I bring him to the vet. If they are happy, so am I. When something is bothering them, it absolutely bothers me.

Dogs live short lives; maybe 15 years….. I know this when I accept the responsibility of dog parenting. But I will really try my very best to take care of them as they grow old no matter what.

I  welcome the term "furparent." I love it when someone call me a furmom; I never frown or correct them. In fact, a sense of delight swells in me.

I know that not everyone loves dogs. Some people even  hate them. But please do be sensitive. Be understanding to pet lovers like me who sometimes seem strange  the way we treat our dogs.

I spoil my dogs, some might say. I shop in the same stores as moms with human children. I tell my fur friends who, in turn, listen to me and my advice. They certainly do not need a blog inspired by their lives with mine.

And I know I am not alone.

My Waffle

This is Waffle, a female fox-type pomeranian.  I bought her from our neighbor who is a dog breeder. She is in the same age with Wiggle and Hachiko.

Honestly, when she was brought at home , I did not like her coz her fur was that dry and coarse and she has a black snout that you will be afraid to look at her. But since the breeder and I had agreement already, I still got Waffle.


When I had her at home, I made some research about pomeranian. I found out that the this type of breed has the so called "monkey/ugly stage". That is the reason why Waffle was like that when she first arrived.

But as months passed by, her beauty started to unfold.

At a young age, Waffle experienced some bad health problems. Last August 2014, her right front leg was fractured. For two months, we went to her vet for the bandaging session of her leg hoping that the fractured bone will get back to its place. I was so sad looking at her with bandage. I felt her difficulty when she tried to walk only with three legs. Come September, she had another sickness. There was a day that she vomited every thirty minutes which caused her to become weak. So I decided to bring her to her vet. Waffle had a blood test and the vet found out that her liver was not functioning well. We went home and tried to give her medicines but she did not get well. So I had to confine her to the clinic. The next day I thought she will be discharged since her x-ray results were okay. But when I got her, she pooped with blood. So the vet tested right away and found out that she had a corona parvo virus, a deadly virus. When I heard that, i tried not to cry because Waffle might be affected. I just cannot believed why she acquired the virus in spite of  a finished complete set of vaccines... but the vet said that it was still possible and warned me that she might not get through it since the virus is deadly. 

Through prayers, Waffle survived. Thank God!!! Even if I paid more or less 8 thousand pesos, I am still happy coz she is still with me. 

I have to admit that Waffle is my favorite among the five dogs  but of course I see to it that I give them same tender loving care that they need.

The Sons: Wiggle and Hachiko

This is Wiggle, a male chihuahua, one of the sons of Whitey and Wako. The family decided to keep him instead of selling him to other fur parents. He was born on July 24, 2014.

Wiggle is a very energetic dog. Maybe he acquired the qualities of Whitey his mother. He also loves to run and jump even when he is inside his cage.

And also Wiggle has a very good appetite. It seems that he is always hungry....hehe..especially he sees you eating, he will really bark at you, begging for food.

Lastly, this is Hachiko. He was the last puppy delivered by Whitey on the other day. So he was born on July 25th unlike Wiggle.

Hachi has a smooth-coated fur and bulge eyes.  He is the smallest among the siblings.Hachi  is also the most silent and kind dog. He will just look at you if he needs something.

There are two  peculiar qualities of Hachi. First, he does not want to kiss and be kissed. Second, after he pooped, he will not really sit down until you clean and remove his waste from the cage.
