Our pet MOCHA gave birth and we didn't even know that she was pregnant. My sisters and I argued about this before well not really argued but they said and guessed that Mocha's preggy because her belly is just so big. I kind of thought she was but I was battling because I can't be so sure and one thing about Mocha is she's fat so it's really hard to tell. So awhile ago, while watching my morning show, my youngest sister called me and said she's hearing some crying under the bed and asked me to get a flash light for us to see. I then got my phone, turned the camera on video mode, with flash. To my surprise, there are two puppies near Mocha and the floor is just bloody and it smells bloody. It's a mess in short. When I checked on the puppies, one's alive (puppy #1) and the other one's dead (puppy #2).  

This is probably the saddest news. The puppy who remained alive for few hours (puppy #1) also died. Maybe because they were premature or stuff but this day is just full of unfortunate events. Mocha is actually very active now surprisingly. Still going constantly under the bed where she gave birth and would still go to the tub and check whether there's something in it. I know Mocha will be better. I hope so.

I hate that song. Anyways. Can I just show you pictures of my pets? Well they're not really my pets but they're more of "our" pets. I just appreciate that they're part of the family and that they're always there for us. Like, when I get home, I would always stop by the gate and would play with them all if possible. Oh well. They're actually like my stress reliever. Kind of.

This is Hashi, our newest dog/puppy. Well she's not actually new anymore but relatively, she is. She's like the cutest among the bunch :) Sorry other pets.

ADORBS! I can't even.

The Queen Bee! And the queen bee isn't happy. Her face is like WTF? here. Mocha is like, the oldest pet we have. And she's like, so precious. I can't even.

I don't know if I already introduced him to you but his name is Kori which means ice in Japanese and just so you know, he's actually the father of Hashi. What's interesting about Kori is that he always cross his legs like that. Like a BOSS. Classy senyor.

This is Prunes. His eyesight is really poor now. Because he's like getting old and all that stuff but we still love you PRUNES! :)

This is Hannah and she is Prune's partner in crime. Somehow.

Lastly, me baby! His name is SHIKI and he's the naughtiest but I still love him. My mom would always joke and say that we should just give him away because they're always getting annoyed by him and stuff but NAH. He's still a baby, you know. :|

That's all I have to say. :)) By the way I edited these pictures with an app called PicsPlay in case you're wondering. It's kind of a confusing app with lots of filters but it's really hard to choose because not all filters would look good and I don't imagine anyone using some if the filters available. Or I don't know. Check it out if you want to try it.

"Mother and Child." photo as I would like to call it. Hashi can definitely bark now. She barks at my brother and grandfather at least. She probably doesn't like them as much. Too bad.

The "Gimme gimme more." picture.

The "I'm sleepy and you know it." shots. Hahaha

Just a little update, this how MOCHA'S PUPPY (inappropriate caps lock-ing) LOL. So yeah. She's just so cute and she likes to bite toes. And more.

Let me just show to you a photo that I took just recently.

Actually, lucky for me that I was able to snap a photo because usually, she would jump around and try to escape this mini labyrinth of hers. Tongue out means ready to bite. LOL.

She's just so precious! LOL. We actually think that she looks like Mocha, her mother. I don't know why but it's been a while since Mocha actually conceived a puppy that looks like her. WEIRD. I think the last time was Genki. Not sure. You know because some of them died so we can't tell. That's the sad part.

I feel kind of sad today. If you still remember Mocha, our house pet.

Well, I'll just link you here. One of her babies actually passed away earlier this morning (091012). That puppy didn't really show much strength and all that. We would always have to guide her to her mother's breast for her to feed and stuff and if not, she would just always stay at the corner of the birth tub. The thing is that the other baby is actually the opposite of the other baby. She would always go and feed herself and as a result, the size of the baby who survived is actually half as much as that of that passed away.

I feel sad for Mocha. This might be a little disturbing but mom asked me to remove the dead puppy in the tub and when I lifted the puppy, Mocha still licked her as a sign of love and all that. And that's just sad. Yesterday, that puppy didn't show much sign of life, and by that I mean, she's just so weak and looks like she's not gonna survive and all that. I won't go any further than that but yeah. I wish that Mocha would recover from this. We'll definitely take care of the puppy that survived. I wish that she'll grow up healthy like Mocha.

As you may or may not know or remember, Mocha is actually my first dog's mum. It's the fourth time she got pregnant and actually, her last pregnancy didn't turn out well so I'm really proud that she made it this time.

The last time she got pregnant, the puppies died because they're larger than her capacity. And so yeah, she underwent a C-section that time. One of the puppies died inside her and the other one died less than a day after being born. But now, since my mom was kind of worried that the same thing might happen again, we observed her and set a limit that if she still weren't able to conceive, then we will take her to the vet and yeah. I actually don't know why but mum actually didn't take her to vet although she was the one who set the condition. LOL. But luckily, 9 hours after, she made it!

Mocha is actually quite old to give birth already. Okay, maybe not old. But something close. If I can remember it very well, she's already with us since my high school years. Maybe 7-8 years. So yeah.

This is her puppies bump you guys. Mocha actually haven't had more than three puppies at once so we're kind of expecting 2-3 because that's just her.

Back to the beginning of the story! My mum actually woke us up yesterday morning (090412) because she thought that Mocha would give birth anytime soon. Mika (sister) and I then watched Mocha and nothing happened. I went to the uni and  even after I came home, nothing happened. And then the next morning, mum told me that Mocha already gave birth and that she woke up at 3 in the morning because she actually thought she was hearing little rats but when she looked at Mocha's birth tub, she found that Mocha's with her puppies already. She was relied because the puppies are very much alive and that she doesn't have to pay the vet for another C-section or whatever procedure they'll be doing for Mocha to speed up the process or whatnot.

Here's the picture of the birth tub. :)

And for some reason, they really look like rats or something. They are both female so I guess that's a nice thing. We can choose. Mum actually told us that we'll keep the female. Since they're both female, we can just choose who we like more. The one who we wouldn't choose would actually go to my uncle so not too bad. At least I know that my uncle would take care of the puppy. Oh well.

Mocha actually looks so tired up to now. Like, it seems like she consumed all her energy and that there's nothing much left so mum actually injects vitamins via oral route so yeah. I hope that she'll get better soon. I mean, the original state.

You know what? I think I like the lighter puppy better. I don't know why though. Like, for some reason I think that that's the better puppy. Actually, I have another story. When mum told me that Mocha already gave birth, she told me to check who is what. Like, who's male or female. And I initially thought that there's one male and one female. I don't know why though. So I told my mum that the darker goes to us. Then when I came home from the uni, mum said that I may be mistaken but she's not sure herself. So I checked again. So yeah I saw that they were both females so yeah. Whatever.

Will update who's going with us or whatever. :)
