This Week on "Dogs of Our Lives"

Just a quick post to update everyone on a new addition. Bert's eye was caught by this lovely lady who was living on the streets of Santiago, across the lake from us.

They called her Dulce, which means "sweet".

A small animal welfare organization called Fantasma Animal Rescue had been keeping an eye on her and posted her picture on Facebook to see if she could get adopted. Well, Bert couldn't resist! He contacted Donald and Barbara at Fantasma, arranged to meet them, took a boat over to Santiago, and brought home a new doggie! Oh my!

But wait! There's more!

SHE'S PREGNANT.

Yep. Preggers. As in, puppies on the way. Soon. Like, before Xmas. 😲

So now I'm Googling all about pregnant dogs and making a whelping box and how to help a dog give birth. I've never done this before! It's gonna be exciting. (And messy. 😬)

We will probably rename her. We already have a dog named Dulce in our extended pack (Bert's dogwalking client), so she needs to be unique!
