Two months ago Glory was in season (in heat), we did not breed her at that time as we are planning on breeding her this winter. Two months after a dog is in season if bred they have puppies, if they are not bred the hormones in their system tell them they are ready to have puppies so they get ready for their arrival just like if they are really pregnant.

Glory’s bomb shelter

Last weekend Glory started making a nest for her “puppies”. This nest she decided to make was under our covered deck next to the foundation of our house. Glory’s mother Nellie started this nest when she was having puppies as well so it had a good start.

I’m coming out.

Glory has managed to dig the hole deep enough that she can stand in it without you seeing her, now that is pretty darn deep as Glory is over 2 foot tall.

Here I come.

She goes under the deck each time she is outside and works on her nest.

Hi mom, I’m done digging my bomb shelter.

She was finished digging her nest on Sunday afternoon and then Sunday night she went over to the toy box rooted around until she found the right one and out came her “baby”.

Lookie what I had.

Her “baby” is a yellow toy bone. She now thinks that is her “baby” and will carry it around and keep it with her.

My baby for the next couple of months.

The other dogs are mean and since she is carrying it around they think she has something fun so they go up to her and take it away from her and run off. Poor Glory they don’t have any compassion for her and her darn hormones. This hopefully won’t last very long and she will be back to normal.

Momma and Guilty.

This weekend the girls decided to cuddle so I had to get a couple of pictures of them as they don’t lay by each other much.

It’s time to cuddle.

Sleepy girls.

They had a long cuddle session this night. It was nice to see them hang out together. I’m glad momma and Guilty get along as well as they do.

Have a great day!
