Mother Dogs Envy Their Daughters?

Have you ever heard a mother envy her child, especially if the child is a girl?

Whenever a daughter is born in a family, the happiest of all is the mother, and this I say from having met all the happy mothers around me.

“My daughter is my image, and she will represent me in the future,” is what most mothers say when a girl is born to them.

But this might be the case for everyone, and there are some mothers who “envy” their daughter(s) for reasons known only to them.

“Mother envying her daughter? The writer is crazy,” is something definite that people might be saying in their minds after reading so far.

Hold on! If you want to know the truth, please finish the article; otherwise, I’ll have to leave, which would be very disappointing.

What is applicable in the human world is not applicable in the animals’ world, I suppose, especially in the world of dogs!

The year was 2016 when I got my first puppy- a female cross.

I named her Fudgy, and within no time she became the darling of our family.

Initially, my mother was apprehensive about keeping Fudgy, but gradually she grew more fond of her.

Fudgy spent her entire childhood (first 6-8 months with me.

During the day, she used to spend time outdoors on the terrace, but at night she used to sleep with me.

I had no ownership of my bed.

Time went by, and Fudgy had three children.

The puppies from her first birth were all adopted, while the puppies from her second and third births continue to live with me.

Now, she gave birth to a male and a female the second time, and both are around one-and-a-half years old.

The male is named Bitu, and the female is Mitu.

The problem starts when I caress Mitu.

As soon as I shower some love on Mitu, Fudgy comes running and starts barking at Mitu and even attacks her.

Once the fight became so fierce that Fudgy almost bit her nose off.

However, my timely intervention saved the day.

Dogs are not just a man’s best friend, but also the most valuable teacher.

What lessons my dogs are trying to tell me, only time will reveal.
