yum yum !!!

Hungry? Try some placenta... Apparently, it contains high levels of prostaglandin, which basically means that it helps to clean your uterus after giving birth. Yum......? o_O

So, my dog gave birth to 5 cute puppies yesterday and she picked a heck of a time to do so because I just happened to be home alone. Not to mention that I had to watch as she proceeded to eat her way through all 5 placentas.

* Note: puppies come out of their mommy's wombs covered in a placenta sack, which the mommy dog has to eat so that the puppies don't die from lack of air *

Needless to say, watching a birth is not for the faint-hearted. One thing to be careful about is the stench. Somehow, the smell of amniotic fluids, blood, placenta and freshly born puppies mixing in the air just doesn't produce a very pleasant concoction for the nose. Ick!

One by one, the puppies just kept coming out and I had to restrain my other dogs from getting near them because one of 'em just happens to be very territorial and has a reputation of biting off puppy heads. * Bad dog! * One thing that I've gained out of this whole experience though is a taste of paternity. I realised that when it comes down to it, I have a pretty developed paternal instinct. Of course this is not to say that a dog giving birth and a human giving birth are the same thing. I still have no idea how I would react to an actual birth but thankfully I don't have to worry about that just yet as I'm sure that God and nature will run it's course. All in all, it was a really cool experience for me, although I could have done without my dog splashing placenta juice on me while I was trying to take pictures. >_<

However, if you're still hungry, I've recently found a substitute for indomee goreng. It wont clean your uterus but it definitely tastes better.
