Snuggle Puppy

On June 1st my hubby and I found out some very exciting news...we found out we were expecting our first child! Our due date is February 9th 2010. Once I hit about the 2 month mark of pregnancy Chloe started being a lot more cuddly with me. She was a little bit before the pregnancy, but now she seeks me out and stays near me for much longer than she used to. She's a little bit more mature now (her 1st birthday was May 21st) so I can't really tell if she's being more of a snuggle puppy because I'm pregnant or if she's just mellowing out after being a puppy.

Have you ever noticed your dogs or other pets treat you differently when you were pregnant?

Comment by Megan and Penelope on September 3, 2009 at 7:35am: 1st congrats! But, my sis-in-law was pregnant when we got our puppy corgi and my little pup was super rambunctious and would never cuddle with anyone because she was only still when we was sleeping. But, when she was watching my pup when we took a trip, she sent us a pic and Penelope was laying next to her with her head on her tummy. I had never seen that dog so relaxed since we got her. Of course now she is better, but at the time she did take on a protective role for my sil.

Comment by Derek on September 2, 2009 at 7:26pm: If a dog can predict an on coming seizure, then a pregnancy would not be outrageous. I mean it is something that they would experience in their own lives... on a nerdy, scientific note:
When you breed mice, you are supposed to place the pregnant mouse with another mature female. As the first becomes really pregant, the other female will actually begin lactating in preparation for the litter. So animals definately have some interesting reactions to others pregnancies. I would not be suprised if your dog takes a protective, effectionate tone with your child.
