Happy Halloween all the people in the interwebs! I tried to get a cute picture of monster with her pumpkin but Maja chased her away and ate her treat! Anyways be safe tonight if you drink take an uber home!

Sorry about the potato quality I made it myself. Enjoy the candy and all sweet stuff that comes with the holidays!

Another Vet visit!

So since we had little faith in our old vet, since she was a week from birth and he could not tell she was pregnant, we had a visit with a new vet yesterday. At lovely VCA Oshtemo pet hospital and saw the wonderful vet named Amber. I could tell right away that this vet was loads better than our old one. From the minute we walked in they fawned over our animals and treated us like we where really welcome. Then we get into the room within a minute maybe less of arriving. A vet assistant come in and says she would like to see the puppies and proceeds to coo and fawn over the puppies with delight while not being neglectful of Maja. Where as Maja was always terrified of our old vet she seemed almost at easy by the end of the appointment. The puppies all weighed in at over two pounds and seem to be developing quite nicely. I will have a youtube video up when its edited.

Another thing that happened yesterday was Vanilla got to meet her future mom. She was so calm and happy in the woman's hands I know its going to be a great match they seem so well suited for each other! 

The weights are as follows.
Vanilla Bean 2.3 lbs
Lima Bean 2.3 lbs
Coco Bean 2.5 lbs
Pinto Bean 2.8 lbs
Maja 42 lbs

Sorry there are not any pictures all I took was video so the video will be up tonight! Youtube.com and search MonsterMotley and its the channel with the cat picture!

Poor Kitty

I think the hardest adjustment of having puppies has been how Monster is trying to adjust. All her encounters with dogs other than Maja have been negative. She was terrified of Maja when I brought Maja home. It took me leaving for three and a half months and Maja being one of her only companions to get use to Maja. THEN BAM PUPPIES. I don't think the puppies would be so bad if it where not for the fact that Maja has turned aggressive on her. I understand mothers instinct and wanting to protect her puppies but I wish she would remember that Monster is her friend and not bite my cat. I am hoping that when the puppies go Maja will be a little more accepting of Monster. If anyone has any advice on helping Maja and Monster become friends again I would love to hear it I am so scared that Maja is going to kill Monster.

The Beans are a week old!

This Saturday the beans turned one week old! I am so proud of them they are big strong and healthy. They can almost stand and their crawl is starting to develop into more of a walk! They can also yawn which is super cute. I have yet to catch yawns on camera though!
Coco Bean!

Pinto Bean! 

Vanilla Bean! 

and last but most certainly not least is Lima Bean! 

First Vet visit!

So the beans had their first vet visit today! This being with the same vet who said that Maja was not pregnant! Anyways... The puppers all seem to be doing good all fat and healthy even the runt does not seem like a runt to the vet just the smallest of the litter still weighing at over half a pound without even being a week old! The did apparently comment on how skinny Maja was but like we have noticed she has been skinny ever since we got her! While she has put on weight since we have had her she has been hovering around 38 pounds. Thats why when we took her to the vet for a pregnancy test and she was 45 pounds we guessed we might have puppies on our hands and we guessed right but long story short Maja and the beans are happy and healthy!
Sorry I dont have more details I was at my own doctors appointment at the time I apparently sprained my shoulder OUCH!
Here is a picture of them today in their car ride!

Poor Mother Maja

Poor mother Maja she never gets a moment to herself her ever waking thought is consumed with her puppies but I suppose thats the way it is with all mothers! She will get out the box to stretch and scratch only to run back at ever little peep and squeak. All she wants is a break from the beans but even going outside has her wanting to come back in worried. Poor Maja.
On the other hand she has been holding it in so long trying to stay with the beans that she had a pretty large accident in the house luckily it was not on the carpet but rather on the vinyl where it was easy to clean up so good dog Maja!

Monster is getting more and more curious about the strange noises in the whelping box and that has increased Maja anxiousness ten fold! Funny thing is when I showed Monster a puppy she was absolutely terrified of the puppy hissed at it and ran. Nope puppies are not Monsters forte! 

Maja and the beans. WARNING CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

We have hesitantly settled on some temporary names for Maja and her beans!
Ladies first!

So the brown black and white one formally known as Cookie has been rechristened Coco Bean! And her sister laying right next to her is named Vanilla Bean!
Now on to the boys!

The bigger of the two boys is now known as Pinta Bean and the runt of the little is Lima Bean Ive managed to tell the two apart because Lima bean has a darker muzzle and little black spots on his paws!
Bounus picture of Lima!

Look at that adorable little tongue isnt he so cute!

WARNING TMI POST

So lets get down and dirty into the gritty truth about puppies or more importantly the mother dog. So when the beans where born Maja was in so much pain that she was biting the couch and screaming. It killed my I wanted to cry along with her I hated seeing my baby in pain. Each time when the puppies where born they where born in a sac called placenta we actually had to get in there and rip open the sac because Maja couldn't get it. Then Maja proceeded to eat the placenta and clean her puppies and when the next one came we would take the last puppy so she didnt step or bite the puppy and we would dry off the puppy in a towel. Well due to her eating the sac we now have an unforeseen consequence it causes diarrhea VERY VERY BAD diarrhea poor Maja has to go out every few hours and three to six times at night to go potty. I think the next time that Maja has puppies I wont let her eat the sac because this poor girl is not a happy camper.
There is also one more thing that I have noticed that is not TMI but kinda sad and frustrating. Every litter has a runt and out litter runt is not that small but still smaller than the rest of the litter and I have noticed that Maja seems not to let the runt latch or feed off her because she either does not have enough milk because naturally the runt is the last to eat. Another reason the runt does the weird jerking when he eats he thrashes his head from side to side very violently for a puppy who weighs less than a pound. So because of that Maja naturally does not want to feed it. Our bottles for the puppy should be coming tomorrow and we will start puppy feeding out of a bottle till then heres to hoping and praying that he is getting enough till then.
I will keep you guys updated just follow the blog!

New additions to the family!

Yesterday morning my roommates dog Maja delivered four healthy beautiful puppies. Two males two females. They are named Sugar, Vanilla Bean, Cream and Cookie! Cookie the Brown black and white one will be my puppy to be trained to be a service dog for my disability. We had to begun to suspect that she was pregnant because she began developing and gaining weight so we took her to the vet and the vet did a feel test and declared that she was having a false pregnancy! So we took her home and started cracking jokes about how she was a hormonal teen! Little did we know... Less than a week later we head to a friends birthday party and sleep till 10am at 11am as we where getting up and around we get a call from our dog sitter. "Hello? Uhm Maja just delivered a puppy on my couch." So we rush to get things together and come over to find Maja and her beautiful puppy Cream cuddled on the couch within 30 minutes of arriving we had our second puppy Cookie! The last two Sugar and Vanilla Bean where born 15 and 30 minutes apart and our little family was complete! Thanks for joining me on this wild ride I will keep you guys updated on the puppies!
