My Dog Got Pregnant Without a Male... What the Actual Hell?

Today was one of those days where reality decided to pull a fast one on me. You'd think after everything I've seen and done—dealing with spirits, peering into the darkest corners of people’s souls, and living a life that’s far from ordinary—nothing would surprise me anymore. But then there’s Raina, my sweet, big-hearted dog who decided to throw me a curveball that’s still got me scratching my head.

Raina is five years old now, a big, lovable mutt who’s never been near a male dog in her life. She’s all about cuddles and protection, with a bark that could scare off a bear but a heart of gold. So, you can imagine my confusion when she started acting like she was pregnant. Her belly started to swell, her nipples began leaking milk, and she was nesting like crazy. At first, I was like, “What the actual fuck, Raina?” I mean, this isn’t possible, right? No male dogs around, and I’m damn sure Anthony and I aren’t responsible for this!

I watched her closely, half expecting something to pop out of her belly any minute, but as the days went on, it became clear there were no puppies on the way. Turns out, it’s a phantom pregnancy, or false pregnancy, as the vets like to call it. Basically, her body went through all the motions of being pregnant without actually having any pups in there. It's like her body decided to play an elaborate prank on us all.

But here’s where things take a turn for the bizarre—and kind of hilarious, in a twisted way. Raina picked one of those obnoxious rubber chicken squeaky toys as her “baby.” You know the kind—those long, screeching noises that can drive you up the wall. Yep, that’s her “puppy.” She’s been carrying this thing around like it’s her firstborn, keeping it close in her bed, cuddling it, even trying to nurse it. The sound of that squeaky chicken echoes through the house at all hours, and let me tell you, it’s driving me insane.

She’s so protective of it, too. If anyone dares to come near her and that damn chicken, she turns into a full-on mama bear, growling and giving them the death stare. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s sad in a way, seeing how invested she is in this imaginary litter of hers, but it’s also bizarre as hell. Who knew dogs could have psychological issues like this? It just goes to show, life with a house full of animals is never dull.

The takeaway from all this? Life is unpredictable and weird as hell, and sometimes it throws you a curveball that makes no sense. Raina’s situation is a stark reminder that our bodies and minds can trick us into believing the most outlandish things, even when there’s no logical reason behind it. It’s like life’s way of reminding us that we’re not as in control as we like to think. We all have our quirks, our own versions of a false pregnancy, investing ourselves in things that aren’t real, but seem incredibly important at the time.

So here I am, living with the constant squeaking of Raina’s “baby,” and all I can do is laugh about it and roll with the punches. Sometimes, that’s all you can do—just roll with it, accept the absurdity of it all, and keep moving forward.

Until next time, keep it weird, keep it real, and maybe reconsider those squeaky toys for your dogs. Trust me on this one.
