Our golden retriever safely delivered her first litter of 5 puppies today, and she looks exhausted for it. Slightly stressful moment when she was scared of the first one, but after a little encouragement she attached and bonded with it and is now doing an excellent job of nursing them.
Heifers do the same thing. What the hell just fell out of me? RUN. Come back and sniff at it. RUN. Well, maybe it’s not going to kill me. Lick. Ok, this tastes like me. I guess maybe it’s fine. Naw, I want her calf instead. RUN after other calf. Get head butted. Go back to own calf. No, this is fine. Why is it sucking on my teat? Kick. It’s still doing it. Kick.
