Video: Dog Mom Flaunts Her Baby Belly During Pregnancy Journey
It turns out maternity photos aren't just for humans. One pregnant dog is winning over the internet by sharing her growing baby bump in an irresistibly cute video. As she inches closer to meeting her litter, her owner captures each belly pop, creating a beautiful record of this special time. Pixie, a Miniature Dachshund, is expecting puppies, and her owner has been sharing the progress of her pregnancy on the Instagram account @raws_doxies. In the latest video, viewers get a glimpse of Pixie's growing belly through a montage of short clips taken over the course of her pregnancy. The video begins with the text, 'Watch my belly grow.' The video features Pixie lounging comfortably on a couch as her baby bump becomes more visible with each passing day. The days of her pregnancy are marked on a sticky note frame next to her, showing her gradual transformation. By the end, the caption changes to, 'Ready for my babies,' as Pixie looks calm but clearly nearing delivery. The comments reflect a mix of admiration, empathy, and excitement for the little dog's upcoming transition into motherhood. One person wrote, 'She has a pregnancy glow,' acknowledging how healthy and content Pixie looks throughout the video. Another viewer noted the realism of the experience, commenting, 'The breathing heavier as she gets bigger is so real.' Perhaps the most touching reaction came from someone who simply said, 'I'm going to cry she's going to be a wonderful mom!!' Pregnancy in dogs usually lasts around 58 to 68 days or roughly nine weeks. Because of this short timeline, changes happen quickly, and you'll need to be attentive to your dog's needs. Proper prenatal care includes high-quality food, vet checkups, and minimizing stress. In the final days, expectant mothers often become more tired and may seek quiet spaces to prepare for labor. As such, providing a warm and secure area for delivery can help your pooch feel safe when it's time to welcome her puppies.

Video of Baby Learning a Dog-Like Habit From His Pet Melts Hearts
The bond between kids and their pet dogs is always special. Right from being their sleeping pillows to their playtime pals, kids' worlds revolve around their fur buddies. But has your child ever picked up some traits from your pet dog? Well, this baby has. Watch this sweet video of a baby learning a dog-like habit from his pet dog. While it's generally believed that parents are a child's first teachers, in this case, it's a Labrador Retriever who in a way is the kid's first teacher. Wondering what trait did the child learn from the pet? It's picking up things from his mouth just like his fur buddy. Funny yet touching, isn't it? Instead of using his hand to hold things like every other kid, the baby followed the footsteps of his pet pooch, Elvis, and learned how to pick up things from his mouth like a pro. Even the parents were surprised by the action and could not understand why their son 'carried everything in his mouth' until they saw 'who he learned it from' — their beloved pet. The clip shows the child grabbing everything in his mouth, including a ball and socks, just like Elvis who carried shoes, a bowl, and even a briefcase in his mouth. The sweet Instagram video has left many users surprised. Many even left smiling and heart emojis on the post, with one commenter saying, 'How sweet is that!' Another mentioned, 'Oh my God, how cute! I probably would've never thought of that.' One user even left a funny comment saying, 'Oh how cute!!!! We thought our daughter's first word would be a bark !' While some even praised the pooch. A person mentioned, 'Elvis the best teacher!' And despite the baby's unique dog-like habit as shown in the video, the parents seem to have no issues as their son 'Learned from the best,' their pet dog.

Video: Dog Helps Owner Perform Surgery on Best Stuffy Friend
Ask any dog parent, and they'll tell you some toys are just different. They are not chew targets or fetch items; they're best friends. That's certainly the case for Boomer the Samoyed, whose emotional attachment to his stuffy toy, Bear, recently turned into an emergency worth documenting. When Bear ripped a seam, Dr. Boomer assisted his owner in a full 'surgery,' complete with pre-op prep, moral support, and post-op recovery. As far as doggy devotion goes, this one deserves an honorary veterinary degree. In the latest Instagram video posted on @ Boomer gently carries Bear in his mouth and delivers him to his owner for help. The toy had a visible tear — described humorously in the video as a 'level 3 wound' — that required immediate attention. Soon after, the dog and his owner lays Bear down and covers him with a small sheet to 'prep' for the operation. At one point, Boomer leans in and rests his head gently on the toy, as if to comfort it. His owner then begins stitching up the tear, with the Samoyed watching closely, never straying too far from his injured friend. The 'surgery' may have been a success, but Bear wasn't out of the woods yet. His owner explains to Boomer that Bear needed a bath. However, as soon as she places the toy in the washing machine, the canine steps in, attempting to pull him out. According to her, Boomer knows all too well how unpleasant baths can be and didn't want Bear to endure the same ordeal. Despite his protests, Bear got his much-needed rinse, and the dog stood watch nearby. The video ends with a clean, stitched-up Bear reunited with Boomer, who curls up with his best friend for a well-earned nap. If your dog has ever shredded a beloved toy within minutes, you'll appreciate the rare tenderness on display here. Boomer wasn't about to let Bear suffer alone, and the internet took notice. 'The paw and he kept his head on bear for moral support' said one person, clearly moved by Boomer's bedside manner. Meanwhile, others joked about their own dogs' less delicate approach: 'And here's my dog disemboweling her stuffies in 3.5 seconds.' Many praised Boomer's loyalty, with one fan calling him 'the best friend anyone could ask for.' The post Video: Dog Helps Owner Perform Surgery on Best Stuffy Friend appeared first on DogTime.

Video: Puppy's First Grooming Session Doesn't Go Swimmingly
Grooming can be overwhelming for a puppy encountering it for the first time. Much like toddlers, young dogs are still adjusting to unfamiliar experiences, especially those that involve strange sounds, unfamiliar scents, and being handled by someone new. A recent Instagram video accurately depicts just how unpredictable a puppy's first grooming appointment can be. Dog groomer Shauna McGlinchey shared the video on her Instagram account @shauna_mcglinchey, giving followers a candid look at what happens when a puppy's first grooming appointment doesn't go as smoothly as hoped. At first, everything seemed promising. McGlinchey began the session with optimism, but as she explained in the video, 'the cracks began to show.' She describes the puppy's mood swings as 'hot and cold.' One minute, the little dog was sweet and affectionate, and the next it was lashing out, snapping at her fingers and even trying to nip her earlobes. The video features different moments during the session, showing the dog's unpredictable mood swings. McGlinchey compares the pup to a toddler who throws tantrums whenever things don't go their way. The emotional rollercoaster continued throughout the grooming, keeping McGlinchey on her toes the entire time. By the end, she shows her wrists, scratched and marked up by the pup's little claws and teeth, a clear sign of the chaotic experience. Despite the tough session, McGlinchey takes it all in stride, ending the video with some valuable advice. She stresses the importance of getting puppies used to groom early — ideally, once they are fully vaccinated around 10 to 12 weeks old. This is especially important for breeds with high-maintenance coats that require regular grooming. Experts recommend starting with gentle brushing at home, handling their paws and ears regularly, and making short, fun visits to the groomer. The goal is to create positive associations so that grooming becomes a routine experience, not a stressful one. While the first session might not always go perfectly, like in McGlinchey's case, it sets the foundation for better experiences in the future.
