Jellie Babies aka Jellie Puppies!

Sunday, April 20, 2014

My baby, Jellie is a mummy now!

Just in case you don't know, do click here to read :)

I'm a proud grandma... ermm... sound so old...

I downloaded an app just to keep track of their age.

The first two weeks were hardest to deal with. The puppies cry quite a lot... Almost every hour or two.

Why?

Jellie was a new mommy and she was a little... *trying to think of a nice word...* silly?

She stepped on her babies a few times so the babies cry... and sometimes she ignored them... sometimes, they drank from the wrong place... so no milk... well,  maybe she was just too tired...

Sometimes she was a little rough...

Sometimes she forgot to clean them???

Well, those were what I noticed and some were just guesses.

Few hours old :)

A close up of the puppies (four or five hours old) warm and cosy by its mother.

Sometimes the baby would be drinking from the wrong place...
So there would be a lot of love bites on her...
Pity my baby... Her stomach had a lot of bites and some places looked a little swollen (blue-black)
Her nipples and areas around it was wrinkly because her babies suck on it non-stop...

Sometimes when she saw my sister and hubby she was too excited... she started to stand up when the babies were still drinking milk... so the babies were dangling in the air...

There were a lot of moments I did not managed to capture but watching them grow is just so amazing!

For example... I did not managed to snap a picture of them dangling in the air but still trying very very hard to  hang on to continue drinking... while trying to hold the head up with the feet...

.....

My baby was three months old when hubby and I bought her home on 31 December 2011.

Since then she was a big part in our life...

The moment she learned her first trick (four or five months old) I was so extremely happy. I nearly burst into tears (lol.. too exaggerated actually). Hubby was the one that trained her to sit. Her very first trick! It was so cute to see a little furball sit on command. Lol

This was taken more than two years ago.

This was one of the few not so blurry pictures.

Then life goes on as usual with an addition in our small family...
She was always there for us...

When she was around 6 months old...
She remained the same until now...
Other than the time when she was bald....

Super cute right?
#cutenessoverload

.....

Sorry, went out of topic for a while there *blush*

Okay, let's continue...

Two weeks later, Jellie was more experienced as a mother so she managed to take care of them alone.
We were able to leave them at home for dinner and sometimes a movie date :)

The babies were extremely noisy now.
They normally cry when they were hungry so it was not too difficult to deal with.
Just popped them near Jellie and it would be quiet!
Sometimes they woke me up in the middle of the night.
Jellie was really tired.
Normally when I walked around she would wake up and looked at me...
Now she did not even notice when I was petting her head...
Her eyes was half open when she slept.

Tiredness level = the octopus in the top left corner

Cleaning her babies very frequently
Motherly love

Pictures of the puppies drinking milk and sleeping

Such a great mother right?
Slept on  the floor while the babies were in her bed :)

The babies only knew how to drink milk, cry, sleep and shit all day... while mama was busy looking after them... It was really amazing looking at them everyday.
They way they sleep always change... sometimes very funny!

They grew very fast... So big now :)
Very happy to see them... all chubby and healthy :)

Just look at the way they sleep... Awww...

Like that, the puppies also can sleep de lo... haha

This one very geng one!
Look at the pictures in order...

(1) "I sleep next to mummy is very comfy"
(2) "I better sleep nearer to mummy... *shiver* to keep warm"
(3) "It is so comfy to sleep on mummy... so comfy... better than the bed"
 This puppy must be very manja one!

They thought is single bed so they squeeze together...
Actually the bed is queen size la...

They way they sleep so funny...
They sleep in pairs facing each other...

Then this one puppy wanted to be special so sleep upside down... lol

 Then they decided to let mummy sleep in the middle...
But mummy ignored them and slept on the floor...
Mummy wanted a super king size bed aka the floor
It's all hers!

Finally they slept together!
Cute to the max!

Erm... they decided to sleep around mummy!

Then this one decided to copy mummy's pose!

I had been waiting for them to open their eyes...
I went to Mr. Trustworthy, Google (hubby said I depend too much on him) to check when the puppies will open their eyes.
Well, the answers varied so I just waited and waited...
12 days was an average...
The first puppy opened its eyes on the 12th day!
Then the other two opened their eyes on the 13th and 14th day!
The last puppy opened its eyes on the 16th! I think this is the lucky one!
Just my own thought because I cannot really differentiate them...

Awww... so cute and small eyes!
She was looking at me :)

Oopppsss...
Did I just annoyed him/her?
Stop staring at me *quickly backed off*

This picture looks very warm...
Baby and mummy looking at each other... bonding with each other?

"Mummy looks like this... now I know"

*Jellie needs a haircut... cannot see her eyes dy*

This is just too cute!
I must post this!

I think I am spamming pictures here... but puppies are cute so I guess it's ok...?

Apart from that, I noticed their hearing had improved...
When I dropped something on the floor or open/close doors, they were scared.
When I walked around them, they will open their eyes to look at me...
So cute!

They started to learn walking at about three weeks old.
Some managed to stand but very wobbly...
They were all in the process of learning...
Trying to stand, walk, sit, play...
Then they also growl, cry, whine, bite....
Mostly doing these (other than feeding, sleeping, shitting/peeing)

These two were kissing or smelling or playing with each other!

The learning process (standing/walking)

Most of the puppies were able to walk and run a little on 19 April 2014!
So happy to look at them :)

Ok la... Mummy hug you for a while since you so manja.

Aiya... you always so manja... no need hug you la!
Lol

The end ;)
Thank you for reading and being patient with the picture spamming.

XOXO

A thief caught red handed!

Monday, April 7, 2014

What exactly happened?

Let me show some pictures first...

I think you can guess who the thief is!

This is the stolen item up close!

Yes! The thief is my baby, Jellie!

Now let's flash back.

Last night, I opened the door to let baby go downstairs to do her business.

She was left unattended because we were busy with the new puppies... well, playing games as well...

Oh... I should let you take a look at the puppies!

They are so big now... lol

That is very good because they are growing up well and healthy!

Anyway, back to the story!!!

So, my baby was downstairs for quite some time...

Normally she would come back to our room after she finished her business...

I kept waiting...

Waiting and waiting... but... she was still downstairs....

So I went down and saw the CRIME SCENE!!!

Lol...

The stickers could be me or my baby...

Both were super shocked.

I was shocked she was so clever!

She was shocked because she was caught red handed!!!

This was the crime scene...

The snacks were scattered on the floor...

My baby was hastily chewing the snacks...

Why did I say my baby was too clever??

Well you see, the snacks were kept in a bag and she managed to pull the snacks out from the bag...

Then she stole the snacks and who knows how many sticks she had already eaten before I found the crime scene...

She kept quiet and ate all the snacks happily before she was caught...

This is the bag :)

Well... this is bad... 

Her snacks were more important that her babies....

Most probably!

Thank you for reading.

XOXO :)

Baby Jellie is pregnant!

Tuesday, April 1, 2014

I was so excited when I found out my baby was pregnant. I was just guessing. Haven't gone to the vet yet. Well, my baby was mated with my sister in law's son. They were of the same kind, the only difference was their colour. It happened on 25 January 2014. Lol. I kind of pity my girl as it seems like rape to me. I'm so sorry but my baby was in pain...

I  was sure my baby was already pregnant after two weeks. Just my thoughts. We started guessing that my baby was pregnant about one month later. She refused to eat her kibbles. Morning sickness maybe? She refused to eat for two days! My baby gained a lot of weight... We felt she looked so fat all of a sudden. She became so clumsy... slipped down when she ran, missed a step when she ran up the stairs and others. She became less active and slept almost all the time. Almost 23 hours *maybe a little exaggerated*

Her funny sleeping pose

Another one ;)

Fell asleep very fast

We also noticed that her nipples were slightly bigger and she seemed to have baby bump (5 March 2014). It was quite obvious to us. Maybe not that obvious in picture.

We went on Mr Popular, Google to check if my baby was really pregnant. Just to confirm before going to the vet.

From wikiHow:

1. Monitor her appetite

• My baby refused to eat for two days
• Sometimes she eat more than her usual portion

2. Pay attention to her behavior

• My baby slept too much recently and she was less active as well
• She was slow to respond and clumsy

3. Notices changes in your dog's body

• Her nipples grew a little bigger
• She gained weight
• Her belly was bigger and seemed like a baby bump
• Noticed her vagina had clear/milky discharge twice

4. Go to the vet

• I tried to be a vet... lol. I placed my ear to her belly to listen for heartbeat... Well, it didn't work.

Okay, I hereby confirm that my Jellie is pregnant! (confirm by myself... lol)
I need to bring her to the vet soon.

On 8 March 2014, we brought our baby to the vet to confirm whether or not she is pregnant. The vet touched her belly and confirmed on her pregnancy. We were excited. The vet said that the babies were about one month old. The vet did ultrasound (forgot to take picture cause I was too excited) to show us the babies inside her belly. We cannot really see but we were so excited! Jellie is a mummy now. There are at least four babies but the vet said it may not be accurate as Jellie's  uterus is kind of full so we should expect a lot of puppies! Hubby and I were very shocked when we heard "a lot"... The expected delivery date is mid April. Jellie's belly will continue to grow like a pear! OMG she is so fat now!

Her baby bump!
Don't hamsap look at her nipple XD Lol
Not obvious enough?

How about this?
Can see the baby bump?

Can you see the baby bump?
The little doggy is pointing at her baby bump.

Not sure if this is clearer.

Her big belly!

Baby Jellie ish so fat now!

This one should be obvious enough :)

Pictures of her baby bump on 24 March 2014

My baby Jellie is about 2 months pregnant (my own assumptions - from date of mating)

Look at the flabbiness

Look at the fat belly!

I think I have to stop here! Too much picture spamming.

Two days later, 26 March 2014 my baby had given birth to four puppies! Three females and a male :) I am so proud of  my baby!

Let's rewind to a couple of hours before my baby gave birth...

Hubby had a feeling that baby wanted him to stay home but still hubby had to work. I was home all alone. Baby was a little strange. She was carrying her toy and walking around aimlessly. I was not sure what she wanted. Suddenly, I saw white liquid on the floor (of course I saw it was from baby). At that moment, I was very shocked. I was asking myself whether she was going into labor because I had not prepared anything. The vet told us the estimated delivery date for baby is Mid April. So, I thought I still have time. I was so wrong!!!

I quickly prepared her bed and cage for her and took her upstairs so I could keep a close eye on her. I was cleansing my face and when I came back to the room I sat in front of my laptop. Suddenly I noticed there was no noise or movement frombaby. So I turned around to checked on her. I was so so so extremely (x100) shocked! I don't know if I should post this picture. Well, don't say I didn't warn you. Be prepared... maybe mentally? Or risk seeing the food you just ate in the toilet/sink (or any other place you want to vomit). Lol

Here it goes...

 The first puppy!!!! So shocking to me!

The second puppy followed quite closely!

Blood everywhere. 

All right. Time to stop. Now how about prettier (less disgusting) pictures.
Nah, here you go!

So cute!

Everything went smoothly... it seemed. I was expecting at least four (or more) puppies. Only three came out at around 9 am. My baby seemed to be resting so I went online to get myself prepared to take care of them. My baby rested for more than three hours (Mr. Google showed various results... more than one hour or four hour can be dangerous to the mother). I was worried sick. No one was at home at the time. No more options. I had to take my baby to the vet or else I might risk losing her. I got changed. Took my cash and credit card and debit cards and keys and stuff it all into my pocket. In the other pocket was my super big phone... My baby got into her usual bag. The three puppies were in the paper bag. I carried them and walked all the way to the vet under the very very hot sun (about 15 minutes). Oh, then I remembered I forgot to apply sunblock! I hate the sun! I hate sweating! No choice. My baby is more important to me :)

In the paper bag
Only three puppies!
I took this when I reached the vet.

I was so relieved when I finally reached the clinic. It turned out that my baby was too tired so she was given an injection. About five or ten minutes after the injection she was able to push the last puppy out. Phew... that was lucky or else she might have to go for an operation. A nice lady sent me home after they found out I walked such a long distance to get to the clinic. Lol

I was really thankful everything went well.

My baby is a very good mom. She rarely sleeps because she keep taking care of her babies. She is always tired and sleepy because she have to wake up whenever the babies cry. *I had to wake up as well when they cry loudly to check on them* She is very reluctant to leave her babies alone. Even when she was thirsty and hungry. Of course, I was not able to sleep as well. I (as a grandma...lol) had to take care of both the mama dog and baby dogs. I felt like a zombie.... the puppies were like vampires. Kept sucking blood (milk) from the mama. Plus they suck at the wrong places a lot of the times so my Jellie had a lot of love bites! My baby used to be scared of everything from plastic bags, metal fences, hair dryer and more. When I left her puppy downstairs so she could rest or at least take a nap in our room, she barked at me or cry wanting me to open the door for her to get to her puppies. I tried to scare her with the hair dryer but she was no longer scared of it. I was a little shocked. She was so protective of her babies.

The picture below was sent by my sister when my baby was still young :)
I think our baby was only 6 months old in the picture! Time really flies...

Mommy has the greatest love of all :)

Cuddling :)
