There’s A Reason

There’s a reason they call a female dog a b!tch. They are!!!

Bernie came to the house again today to beg Greta for just a little sweet loving. He was adorable, gentle and patient with my grumpy girl, who seemed intent on thwarting his every attempt at sealing the deal.

Bernie nearly losing his nose when Greta bites at him!
“Stay away!” she snarls!

They did have a productive time this time and although they did not classically “tie”, they did accomplish the act and so there is no real knowing whether the deed has been done or not.

Of course we will know in about three weeks if she is pregnant or not, and in 62 days for certain.

Am I feeling stressed? Yes, a bit. I wish that Greta would just be the sweet compliant girl that she was a year ago, but I think that perhaps the trauma of puppy-birth has forever changed my girl.

We’re planning to give it another try this weekend and hopefully Bernie will score a full scale home-run.

Then, perhaps, I will relax.

  1. Wow, she was just REALLY not in the mood, huh? I have no insights into the doggy psyche and no idea what kind of time window we’re looking at here, but I sure hope things will work out this time and that you’ll have ‘grandpuppies’ again very soon! 🙂

  2. OOOOOOOOO – these pictures are truly priceless!! I know this is very anxiety-producing for you, MB, but for us lookers-on, it is a wee bit entertaining.

    Forgive me, please!!

    hugs,

  3. I guess some pictures really do say 1,000 words! LOL 🙂

    Hope they seal the deal!

    Love you,

  4. Poor Bernie… still, if Greta’s washing her hair tonight, then there’s not much he can do about it apart from sit in the corner and lick his privates.

    By the way, I tagged you for a meme on my blog… only if you want to of course…
