It is an incredible experience. Our dog was pregnant when I was around 12 years old, but no one knew it. Everyone was out for the night. Our dog didn't come down for dinner. I tracked her down to my parent's room and saw her laying there with a gooey mess next to her. She got up and left when she saw me. I realized it was a puppy and hauled her back to take care of it. She did, and then later a second one was born. I was on my own. It really affected me. The puppies were healthy and our dog learned quickly to be a good mother. She had two more litters after that.
They try to find some secret and safe area. It would have been a real mess. I mean cleaning the bedroom would have been very distasteful experience.
We have some unbuilt area in our house, type of a backyard. There are lot of bishesh and a tree. We don't manage it to look like a small garden instead we leave the land to flourish own its own because of our dogs. They play there, mate there and when she is close to delivery, she just slowly goes under one of the bushes and lay there the new life. After 24 hours or so, I go with a basket and carry all the puppies with me inside our house. I won't do it if we don't have so many wild animals like jackals, foxes, wolves, leopards and more than 65 tigers who often approach near or inside the city.

Ours was a different environment- a suburban house.

I'm also living in a suburban area but lucky that it falls to be on the outlines of the area. There is so much open space after my house that I can view as long as I can. All green and lush with nature.
