Things okay again
The doctors (2 of them) just left, they couldn’t find anything worth investigating. They think it’s an extreme reaction to the stress she had these last few days. Which is a story apart I desperatly need to blog about, but not know. Need to get some sleep soon.
Things going wrong
Hanneke fainted about an hour ago. She was gone for no longer than a minute. My father and I had to carry her up to their room. There she fainted again and was again gone for a few seconds. We called the doctor by now and after a lot of questions (man, if she was dying she would be dead by now, so many questions!). By then she was enough with us again to answer some questions from the doctor directly. He told us that if she didn’t recover in 30 minutes, we had to call him again. She got worse.
Now I’m waiting for the doctor to arrive. Nothing to do and that bothers me the most. If I could only do something. So I decided to write about it, to vent some steam.
I hope my Guild helps me recover Mulguy from the Scarlet Monestery’s Library…
Motherly Angel
(Wrote this post last Sunday, but forgot to publish it, since the pictures we took were too dark :()
Since we have the little chicks in house (and no, they don’t smell, their feed stuff smells more than the chicks themselves), the dogs that run around the house get a lot of exposure to the chicks. Which is fun, since they all react differently to the little things. Anouk and Cyril, both older dogs, tend to ignore the chicks altogether. Aagje has ditched the notion of “possible playpals” after she noted the chicks didn’t move from their cage. But Angel is absolutely stricken with the chicks.
Now, you need to know that Angel is my favourite (well, Angel and Aagje both switch places quite often in my “best-liked-dogs-top-ten”) and she’s a really sweet dog. There’s not a single drop aggressiveness in that girl. She’s been terrorised a lot during the first few months she lived with us, because both Anouk and Aagje didn’t accept Angel as part of the pack. These days, we keep Anouk and Aagje apart from the others, which works quite nicely. And the effect this had on Angel is astonishing, she’s seems to be a whole different dog than just a few months ago. Much more outgoing and nicer for eveything and all.
Hanneke and my dad really want to breed with her soon, but they’re both anxious to know if Angel will be a good mother or if she will not know what to do when she has a litter. Some dogs are good mothers, others are really bad mothers, not knowing what to do with this little dogs and having trouble with all those hormones coursing through their bodies. Angel could be either. But today, she showed some behaviour that makes us think she might be a very good mother.
Since the chicks are in house, she’s been really watching them. At first, we made jokes about how the chicks would stand next to her when she was near the cage and she was licking her lips. But as times passed, it seems more and more that she’s really affected by the fragile, young chicks. So today Hanneke wanted to see Angel’s reaction to a chick when it was close by. To make a long story short (well, it’s already a long story, but I’ll end it here). She was very, very sweet with the chicks.
