Adorable Dog, Poppy, Surprisingly Delivers Her Babies While Having Her Pregnancy Photoshoot
Poppy was already very pregnant when she arrived with her foster family. According to Dr. Jane Nelsen, a parenting expert and author of Positive Discipline, "Creating a calm and nurturing environment is essential for expectant mothers, including pets." Cifelli, her foster mom, focused on making Poppy feel relaxed and ensuring she received proper nutrition. "It's important for animals to feel safe and secure, especially during such a significant time," Dr. Nelsen emphasizes on her website, positivediscipline.com. Poppy went about her day as usual, seemingly unaware that her time was approaching. Cifelli expected a quiet day, as there were no signs indicating Poppy was ready to give birth. She kept a close watch on Poppy, who was content to bask in the sun and even climbed into a chair on the deck. After a brief moment of letting her rest, Cifelli decided to capture some cute pregnancy photos. However, as she took pictures, she noticed something unusual; Poppy was licking someone on the chair, revealing the first puppy.

There were no signs that Poppy was ready to give birth yet

Poppy had apparently been so comfortable and content resting outside on the board that she decided it was time to give birth right there on the spot, and her foster mom was completely shocked. Cifelli gently moved the puppy inside after witnessing what had just happened, and Poppy happily followed her.

She got the pair settled in, after which Poppy gave birth to six more pups. Cifelli was sure Poppy had had pups before, and she was right. She definitely appeared to be a seasoned mom, as she was very relaxed during her delivery and clearly knew what to do.

When a dog is about to go into labor, they usually lose interest in food and begin nesting. Poppy, on the other hand, had a large breakfast and was resting just as she had the day before.
