It scares me though because I've seen some have 5!!! What am I gonna do with that many Yorkster's?! I would be in Heaven!!! ha! She can't even jump on the bed anymore...she is so stubborn about using the steps, sometimes she does...sometimes she doesn't. Oh check out this pic from last night. I post these on FB but I always forget I can do them on here too! lol
This is her with her suddenly favorite squeeky rabbit hiding in my nightstand cabinet, she carries it everywhere with her and squeeks it all the time. She suddenly started growling at anyone two days ago who get near her...even me! She would act that way sometimes with others but never with me. I finally had to distract her and swipe the rabbit and put it away. I don't want her to be that way or bite me and not let me help her deliver or take care of her pups, she needs to at least let me, I'm home all day. I don't know what to do about that? Anyways here's the pic from her hiding out with the rabbit last night before I became Swiper! lol |
Sounds to me like she may have adopted the rabbit as a baby and so she is being protective. She may let you help with the delivery, but she may be protective of the puppies, it might just take her time to calm down. Start her right now with training. Hold a treat and let her nipple it away with the attempt to take the rabbit from her. She will soon associate food with you handling her "baby" and hopefully she will focus more on the food or treat than the rabbit, thus making it possible for you to handle the puppies when its time. It is so funny you metion the stairs. I built Raeley a set of stairs as she couldn't get up on the bed any more either. I trained her to use them, but its like she would rather have me pick her up. She hardly will leave my side now. If I am at the desk (like now) she will sit under it instead of on my bed (her favorite place to nap).
I forgot to ask you why your taking your girl in this Friday for her x-rays. It will be day 45. They may get some idea, but the pups bones would show up better on an x-ray if you did it between Oct 5th-9th. JMHO. My girl goes in on the 7th, day 58.
