A puppy with two mothers (Natural raising thread)

[✬MsWildiful✬]

So long story  short, my naturally raised pupper Quail fell in love with a dog I least expected...

my purebred Great Dane Mia, another lady dog! Today Quail was due to give birth, the moment she carried her newborn out for everyone to see she looked just as shocked as I was that this whole thing actually happened xDDD

 

I decided yesterday that I was going to name her puppy after a bird, but preferably a bird name that starts with the letter M, because Quail is named after a bird and the other mother Mia's name starts with an M.

Magpie, Pheasant, and  Dove were all on my girl name list, but Magpie takes the cake because of how cute I  think it  sounds, and because it starts with an M like I wanted ^_^

Everyone seemed pretty eager to gather around the baby, Reeses my other naturally raised doggo was being nice but curious, and once Quail even growled at him for being too close to her puppy! She'd never growled at him before By the way, Quail and Reeses are really  good friends and if you'd like to see their lovely friendship together you can go here

First time mother Quail getting to know her new puppy while her adopted-brother Reeses acts silly in the  corner xD haha

She loves to look at her pup <3 Oh and I'm delighted that Magpie has precious cotton-candy pink eyes just like her parents do I thought she would! I was able to bottle-feed the baby a wee bit, and Quail struck a pose! I'd love to work on pose-training with her soon if she's not too infatuated with her young,  but if she is I understand, because I will be too <3

I'll  be naturally raising this lovely little lassie and getting to know  her until she's 12 on the brainslider, I must mention I'll most likely keep this puppy, BUT there is a chance she may be for adoption when she's old enough to leave her mum so keep an eye out if Magpie steals your heart. (I'm sorry if I do keep her and disappoint anyone xD)

What a cute little pup!! So funny how they always seem to fall in love with the least expected partner I have a bully and a dali that are head over heels for each other and the bully gets pregnant every time I take them out and forget to spay them (they are both females as well!)

LOL Poor Quail is so thin after having her puppy! She looks like a stick figure xDD Magpie is PRECIOUS though!! I love how she looks almost entirely like a 1st gen Dane, just with a couple patches, pink eyes and floppy ears...ahh!

I'm definitely eager to see more of her as she grows!

I wonder if that's because its a skinny pose it makes her look worse? x3

Well the pose probably doesn't help! xD But when Petz have babies, their fatness drops either to 0 or very close. So she's definitely skinny after having that puppy! Hehe! <3

Later on I noticed how skinny she became x3 she was like 0 on the fatness brainslider Dx skin and bones!  The puppy took so much outta her (literally lol) must be all the demands on her body from the pregnancy! I made sure to feed and treat her abundantly that afternoon and yes, I'm delighted with Magpie's heavy great Dane influence! I also realized she bares very similar colours and markings to an AC Great Dane because Mia's a purebred, I was hoping to see a little more Quail though! However I love those pink eyes <3 they'll make for a sweet family with matching eyes ^_^ More pictures coming soon...

[smonikkims]

I'm so so happy Mia found love when she moved in with you...! <3

[✬MsWildiful✬]

So Magpie is now age 3 on the brainslider, I let the delightful parents out together and Quail seemed pretty glad!
she began to really enjoy me petting her, so naturally she laid down... but she did it while still holding her baby, then
she rolled on her back and got in some really odd positions holding her precious puppy! careful Quail

Quail: Am I doing it right? is this how you mother?

MsWildiful: No not really, take caution with your fragile baby xDD

So I've come to realise Quail is.. let's just say different xDDD But that's why I love her so much, so it's going to be
a treat to see how baby Maggie turns out, her mum is such a peculiar pup. Maybe the baby will be funky like her xP

After giving birth yesterday Quail was practically a skeleton!

Quail: Wot in Emaciation

(Sorry I had too xDD)

She's always been on the thinner side but never this thin! poor girl, I offered her some candy floss and juicy berries, along with a nice chunk of meat, I think she's beginning to regain her muscle mass and average weight

MsWildiful: What's the matter Quail?
Quail: My fluffy *sarcasm "bundle of joy" took all of my muscle! I don't even feel fit to run, much less practice for the Flyball competition! I didn't know it would be like this.


MsWildiful: I'm sorry dearie, please eat your fill! things will get sweeter with your puppy too, she's going to be a-lot like you!



I was actually a little concerned because Quail seemed to be mad at her infant puppy! it's like is she going to reject her
young for no reason? that's like a bird who's babies have been touched (which is a myth btw) well I did name her after a bird, and I did pet her baby... wAiT nO QuAiL, you're not a wild bird! xDD I'm sure she'll bond with her puppy soon <3 she hasn't

nursed her yet, so I bottle fed little Maggie. I thought Maggie would be a cute nickname off Magpie <3

Little Ms Magpie laid preciously on a pillow while her mum snacks on berries <3 Ahhh she had her feetsies in the air
^_^ I love infant Petz, they're tiny adorable little pixels! Maggie's a wiggly little puppy, loves flailing her paws in the air ^_^

And for some reason Quail put her puppy down on the plate of food and seemed pretty pleased with herself xP
I guess mum can lick and clean her off haha.


Also, poor Mia the tall and mighty Dane is getting bullied by a dog who's 11x smaller than her xD Reeses even tripped her,
don't be so mean Reeses D: Blast :/

Mia just runs for the hills D: Reeses feels like because Mia is so much bigger than him he has to be the big-bad-dog
in attitude I guess xD As you can see he wrestled with her and she's enormous cradling the little dog haha.

and I just love when Mia lolls her long red tongue like Quail does haha.

And this is the best compilation I could make capturing the brutal harassment Mia faces when Reeses torments her with
his repetitive Dachie barks of doom Dx The look of utter fear and surprise on Mia's face as Reeses trips her xD
she's totally gobsmacked, and I assure you guys I don't let this go on for very long before I put Reeses away </3

And I'm not totally sure what's going on in these pictures, it's some weird mixed emotions I guess! Quail is snarling
while Mia eats? but in the one I took a moment later the loveliest most cartoony loose-tongue smile rises on Quail's face
admiring her pup, soooo yeah xD I've been having loads of fun with this groovy pack of mine, and I'm about to reveal a wonderful whiskery addition.... :3

Hmm sometimes moms will growl at their kids still in their infant form and I'm not sure why. They also growl at other petz too but I guess that's a normal reaction.
Has anyone else observed this?

[smonikkims]

I am pretty sure if you pet the baby, the mum will kind of reject them until they grow up. At least I think I read that before, and I'm pretty sure I've observed it happening.

D: WHAT really? I need to try now..... wonder why?

[smonikkims]

Well, isn't it a thing that if you touch an animal's young that'll happen in real life? Not sure though.

[✬MsWildiful✬]

SmokinBlondeGirl Oh wow, you've really observed that before? I wasn't sure if it was common or my doggo was just being odd  haha. Thankfully  she's showed no more awkward rejection signs towards her young!

Another update, finally! What happens is I love to play with my Petz, I also love to take pictures of my Petz... I struggle not to take pictures of my Petz (especially babies!) when I frolic with them, as a result we now have a cute mess of Petz pix spam xD

I can't help it, they just capture their personalities so well xP

I discovered Magpie is a trotter! and she makes the most precious whining sounds watching her mum eat <3
I forgot to mention she was a very vocal infant, loved to grunt, and even a few barks when she was crawling ^_^

So now at 9 on the brainslider Maggie is so happy to be able to run and trot along with her mother and uncle/brother
Reeses I've also learned she loves pushing toyz around, she'll trot over to one corner, push the ball of yarn, run down
to the bottom of my screen and nuzzle a towel! Awwww, such a funny playful trait xP the picture below is her trying to push stuff <3

As for Reeses and his rival Mia, the two seem to easily put their differences aside to play a beloved game of infinitely-chase-
the-auto-ball   (Reeses being a goof in the top right corner xD )

A few pictures from the other-day, a little dated now that my darling Magpie can run and play, but still precious <3

Quail nursing Magpie for the first time, such a sweet spectacle <3

Oh, she tripped! Don't cry little Ms Magpie, continue to shine!

As for the whiskered surprise I mentioned, I've been meaning to introduce them! (they're a couple of kittenz, I'm sure you've already guessed) but sadly it's too late tonight for me to put together more photo montages (as much as I'd love too) but I promise I'll reveal them soon

I gave my Reeses pup some one-on-one, I think he's a little envious of all the attention Me and new-mother Quail has been giving the  baby, he's such a special little lad! I love how he wiggled his body excited to be brushed xP

Strettchhhhh and scoootch xD

A jump holding his carnivorous food! such talent in the little doggo, a real team player in the Summer Olympics What did I do to deserve such a good little dog?

He was shaking his tin-foil doll xD it was quite adorable and violent for such a little dog!

And the fire of love is still very much ignited between Mia and Quail ^_^ Ahhh I'll probably let them have one more puppy <3 It'd be nice if it was one a little more mixed-looking like Quail.

And I'm pretty sure that's all the pictures xD Thanks for reading, I've been enjoying my growing family of Petz

Er...was that an autocorrected attempt at tagging smonikkims, or something? x'DDD (I think she has a new nickname LOL Can we all start calling her that now xDDD)

But yes, never touch a mother's baby when they're still coming out with their mom! They get so freaking angry AND DO NOT DROP IT. xDD It's so irritating! It's been an unspoken rule in my Petz game since I was a kid, when I discovered it...it just does not happen! LOL

BAHAHAHAHA (I almost spit out my water)

I didn't know that about the mom thing O: I think I'ma do an experiment with that later with my next babies (I rarely have babies in my household nowadays xD I am tired of unexpected petz so I neutered/spayed everyone)
