i have a 3 year old golden retriever and she just recently started to do something quite interesting…

.. last night while we were sleeping she went and got about 12 stuffed animals out of my daughters room and brought them to my side of the bed…now she watches over them and sleeps with them and if my daughter grabs one she waits for her to put it down and goes and gets itshes also she whimpers and wines like shes talking to the ones that make music…my first thought was is she pregnant but i really dont know what to think…im goign to call the vet and ask tomorrow what they think but i was just wanting some other peoples opinions…THANKS!!

Good one, Fin. *clap* *clap* ;-)

Actually, pregnancy came to my mind, too (just pickin, Fin).

Q: I have a 2 year old Shihtzu who in the last 2 days or so has started treating about 8 stuffed small dogs as puppies. She cleans them and is very defensive of them. Is this a major problem or just a phase that will pass? She has never been bred, is this part of the problem? (Beverly Pettry, US)

A: Most bitches go through some kind of behavior such as this at some point in their life. It is usually more common in unbred (or maiden) bitches. This behavior should not be encouraged, however, since it may develop into further, more disturbing, symptoms. Bitches who undergo phantom pregnancies ‘think’ that they are pregnant and will seek a nesting place.

They may well develop swollen breasts and may even produce milk. If your dog begins to believe that these stuffed toys are her puppies, she may begin to develop these symptoms. Milk production is a problem, since as she will not be relieved of the milk, problems may develop. You should remove the toys and not allow her to even see them. If she pines, buy her a new toy and keep her active for several days.

I especially loved the oh-so-very reassuring “it could be a million things” statement. Brilliant recovery.

LOL I’m just glad I’m not the only one making “oh crap” posts after a frantic, fruitless search for an “edit post” link.

hahaha omg i totally did the fruitless searching… you know my pain well. i was surprised i didn’t whip out the always comforting ‘have you checked for cancer lately” one. would be par for the course with my fabulous advice for the evening.

i’m gonna go with the ‘its the drugs’ exscuse.

ROFL …checked for cancer. I’m so going to use that, and that’s so not right.

has she been spayed (neutered)? sounds a bit like a phantom pregnancy to me - gals and their hormones! she’s unlikely to do it if she is actually pregnant but she may be due to come into season - just be careful around her as she may be very protective over her newfound ‘pups’!. it should pass but if not or she seems in distress then take her to the vet. good luck.

thanks for all the great info turns out it is False pregnancy!…crazy!

… and to the people( oster, Finley ) who got to use this as a opportunity to socialize glad i could help yall too! and my advice to yall is be careful using ” have you checked for cancer lately” on random peoples pages never know what they or a family member may be going through… last time i checked cancer wasnt a joke!

Yay! And that is crazy.

Fin and me were poking fun at our own “wish we hadn’t said that” posts. A real pain since we can’t edit reply posts.
