Goodbye Lima Bean!

Lima Bean went to his new home on Sunday before Christmas! He will be living with a single dad and his son. I think they will have a a wonderful life the three of them I dont think the cats of that household are to thrilled though!

While Coco for the time being will continue to stay with us as we look for a home. She is progressing well on her potty training only having one or two accidents a day and her crate training is going as expected with a lot of sleepless nights due to howling. She even made it up the front steps of our apartment all on her own today which is a huge step because before she was terrified of the steps! Now we have to work on getting her to ask us to be taken out when she needs to go but right now I would be happy with getting her to sit!

Sleepless Nights.

The puppies went through sleep regression as of recently. They have gone from sleeping through the night and waking up at 5 am to waking up every few hours and barking and howling for thirty minutes to an hour. Its been really hard on us but they get their shots on Friday then they can go home so we are excited for sleep again. We will miss them though this has been a very fun and interesting experience to go through. One of the homes for the puppies back out so now we are rehoming him to a new home and we are excited to interview possible homes.
Video of them howling and barking just a disclaimer we riled them up for this video they are alot noisier at night.
Yes by the way I have a youtube channel here it is have fun with that fact!

The most wonderful and annoying things about dog ownership!

Thinking about getting your self a puppy or maybe a full grown dog in need of a home? Never had a dog before? Here is my list of the pros and cons of dog ownership!

Owning a dog or puppy is a lot like taking care of a drunk toddler you never know what they are going to do and you have to watch them almost constantly but on the other hand they are loving and affectionate and when raised right have the possibility to be the sweetest creature you will ever have!

Cons

• They need constant attention. Especially puppies!

The movie UP best described a dogs attention span with the famous seen where the golden retriever Doug is talking then suddenly gets distracted by a squirrel but in most dogs cases or puppies it can be as simple at some lint blowing through the air or god forbid a person walking outside of your house. Let the chaos ensue!

• They will chew up your most prized prepossessions plus the couch.

I have lost sooooo many things to my dogs a hand made stuffed bunny, socks a leg to a chair photographs my lease bills and the list could go on for days if your not watching them your gonna loose stuff!

• They pee and poop where they please at first.

This is a hard thing to deal with for some people I still have a hard time with it but if your not diligent about taking them out your gonna have pee and poop on your floor. Heck sometimes even if your are taking them out regularly they have accidents it happens just have your cleaning stuff on hand.

• Puppies need to be taken out ever few hours even at night.

Like I said they go a lot! Little bladders can wait. I would cry getting up at night to take out my first dog. Then she would sniff around as the minutes ticked by and sometimes she would not even go!  More tears would ensue.

• Picking up poop.

When she did go though oh boy picking up that poop was not pleasant and all between you and smelly warm stuff is a thin peace of plastic. It enough to make anyone wash their hands twice!

• Vet bills.

This is an inevitable when you have a dog you have shots that they need to have regularly plus flea meds and deworming and if something happens to them or they get sick. Your looking at thousands over your dogs life time!

• Dog hair gets everywhere! 

Got a white dog? Well your not going goth anytime soon. Dogs shed some breeds more than other but all dogs shed even the poodle will leave hair around your house. Never mind a husky or akita youll have a fur coat of your own soon!

Pros

• Unconditional love.

Dogs will love you to heaven and back no matter what. Weather your a bad person or a good person. No matter the color of your skin or your gender or even your sexuality. Your dog will love you because your you!

• Playtime any time! 

This is more true with puppies rather than older dogs but all dogs love to play and play and play. They fantastic time killers!  And you'll enjoy every moment of it!

• Fluffy bed warmer! 

Whether you let them up or not you will occasionally find your bed mysteriously warm sometimes dont be mad at them they where just making sure you dont catch a chill!

• You and teach them tricks! 

Dogs are the easiest animal to train in my humble option! They love to please and this makes them very quick to learning even the stubborn ones can be softened up for training with the use of some treats!

• Totally a chick magnet especially puppies! 

Actually puppies are a people magnet in general I have had a big bike dude come up to me all shy and ask if he could pet my puppy but if you want to make new friends take your puppy for a walk!

• Darn cute! 

Want something that will get a lot of likes on all your social media and keep you going aww all day long. Your pupper can do that for you!

• KISSES!

Nuff said.

• They keep you healthy! 

Dont have the motivation to get out an exercise. Your dog will give you that motivation! Walks several times a day for between ten to thirty minutes a day. Not to mention many studies have said that dogs reduces your stress, lower high blood pressure, and keep away depression in some cases. Its a wonder why they are mans best friend!

• Come in many different styles and breeds! 

Are you having trouble choosing your new best friend, its no wonder with all the options out their between all the purebreds and the lovable mutts its going to be harder than you think but one things for sure your local shelter is bursting with new friends waiting to meet you including your new best friend! 

Vanillas photoshoot!

So our favorite little girl Vanilla had her self a day of modeling for her new mummy. She got to get out of the pen and everything and the pets are just the bomb! I thought I would share the photos from the shoot with all of you since they turned out so cute!

Even Monster got in on some photos!

Vanilla says modeling is hard work I'll stick to playing and napping!

Puppies 5 week update!

The beans turned five weeks on Saturday! They are eating so much mush now they only nurse three to four times a day which seems to be a huge relief for Maja and a huge stresser at the same time. She really want them to nurse so she can eat their mush but we noticed if we dont give them much mush or mush at all Maja will get in the whelping box and regurgitate some food that she has eaten for them and they seem to like this quite a bit I on the other hand am thoroughly disgusted by this but hey though she is taking care of her babies what more can we ask for!
They have started licking us and various other objects that we dont think they should be licking (Like the box) They are biting quite a bit as well they are really seeming to get the hang of being a dog meaning licking or biting everything!
They also seem to be following things now most hands if you put you hand in or near the box where they can see it they eagerly follow it and try to lick or bite.
They all have a full set of puppy teeth now that hurt quite a bit when they bite you with them!
Lastly they seem to be playing a lot more they started playing around the four week mark (I dont know if I said that in the update for four weeks). They will now rough house with each other to the point where one will yelp from getting bit to hard or they will puppy pile on one and we have to break it up so that no one is picked on to much. Coco seems to be quite the bully though so if they pile on her we call it her just dos and let it happen because she is such a meany.

As can be seen below Maja is not to happy with the development of teeth

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!

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!

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!
