How strong the maternal instinct

[Rosiepug]

Despite my best efforts doing hard road work, using cold compresses on her Mams. because she's producing milk... today and for the last two days she's been driving me mad digging in my sofa's and in the dog beds.....I'm such a dork I've just realised she's 'nesting' today would be day 61 had I bred her last time. How strong her maternal instinct is even without being pregnant.

The bad news is I've one show left and if she fills up she's not going to have a pretty outline.

Cut down on her food and water for a few days.

I've heard of the cabbage leaves, too. I'm going to try it next time one of mine developes a false pregnancy.

I think I heard it from Diane, now that I think about it.

LOL...I heard it on a canine repro list!

What exactly do you do with these cold cabbage leaves?

You hold them on the teats til they get warm.
