A Mother of Eight

Pets have a special place in my heart. One of the most unforgettable experiences in my life was January 22, 2010; the day which my dog, Samantha, became a mother for the first time. The night before the day she gave birth, she was really nervous and walked back and forth in the laundry room. I was nervous too because that was also the first time for me in that kind of experience. Around nine o'clock in the morning the first puppy came out. Then, one after another, they were coming about every thirty to forty minutes. The following days, eight wonderful puppies began to grow and get stronger. About a week later, the four females and the four males started to open their eyes. I was really happy and spent a lot of time with them. As the days passed, they learned to walk, run, play, and bite. To conclude, I can say that it was very sad to see them go, one by one, when they got to be two months old. But that will never overshadow what was an special and amazing experience for me from beginning to end.
