In the ninth month of my pregnancy, I went to my mother-in-law’s birthday: she welcomed me warmly and offered me cake, but when my dog ate a piece of that cake, she suddenly collapsed to the ground and could no longer stand up
I was nine months pregnant and knew I could go into labor literally any day. Still, I decided to go to the family celebration — it was my mother-in-law’s birthday, and it would have been awkward to refuse. The house was full of people.
Relatives were laughing, making toasts, drinking. Everything went on as usual — loud and seemingly calm. I started to feel short of breath, so I went out to the veranda, sat down on a chair, and simply breathed in the fresh air.
After a few minutes, my mother-in-law came up to me. She was holding a plate with a slice of cake. “Eat, dear,” she said.
“I baked it myself.”
I thanked her but didn’t eat. My dog was sitting next to me. She looked at the cake with such pleading eyes that I felt sorry for her.
I broke off a small piece and gave it to her. I saw nothing wrong with it — just an ordinary homemade cake. About thirty minutes passed.
Suddenly, my dog collapsed hard onto the tiles. At first, I thought she was just tired or had decided to lie down. But she didn’t get up.
I bent down to her and immediately felt that something was wrong. Her breathing became heavy and uneven, her body seemed limp. I got scared.
I went to my mother-in-law and told her that my dog had become ill after eating the cake. I wasn’t accusing her, just stating a fact. But she immediately flared up.
