Do dogs feel sad when they have puppies?
She isn’t sad she will be very content watch when she lies and the little rascals are jumping in to get fed, I have had cat have kittens and they will purr when their kittens suckle. If you think your dog is sad don’t think like that at all remember she just had them and will be bit tired getting over the birth. When she needs time out she will go lie on her own for a while to get a break so let her have all the peace she needs. As for you, you think she is stressed and sad just you wait until you have mad crazy playfull puppies running about you will be the one doing the work then 🙂 while mum dog watches you do it !
