Marathon Momma: Another #bump snuggler. Kallie is normally psycho in the morning, all excited that we are finally, AT LAST...awake! 🌞She climbs all over us, wagging her butt in hurricane fashion. Fur and slobber flying in every which direction. She lays on me, steps on me, and paws at me. She's nuts! 😜 But not lately. Intuitively, she has become supremely gentle, tentatively nuzzling into me. She doesn't lay on top of me, but opts to getascloseasshecantomyside! She still tries to give me hugs, but she gently places her paw in different places until she is sure it's okay. It's amazing to watch her behavior change as the bump grows. Pets are quite incredible with how they just "know" when you're pregnant. We've had many cats do similar things in the past...like our beloved Tiggy who passed away many years ago. He didn't like being around people at all. He loved us and wanted to be near us, but always several feet away. When I was pregnant and on bed rest with my daughter, I'd be laying on the couch in the living room watching tv and he would come over to me and give my belly kisses. It was so out-of-character for him, and really very sweet. 💕💗 Not everyone likes having pets in their home. But I cannot imagine a life without them. 😊💗🐶🐱 #goldens #goldenretriever #goldenlife #goldensofinstagram #blogpost #chronicandpregnant #fibroandpregnancy #fibro #advancedmaternalage #babybump #petsofinstagram #dogsofinstgram #dogmom #dogsofinstagram #pregnant #preggers #pregnancy #loveofadog #unconditionallove
