Had a new litter of ratty babies born just a little bit ago... :0)

[luckies4me]

My Russian blue dumbo berkshire girl Akemi gave birth today at 12:00 to a little of 9 rittens. The first baby I had to tug out of her as she was having a hard time but the ones after just popped out and she did fine after that. One baby has a big bruise on his face but it should go away in a few days. I took pictures of the birth but only kept the best two. She is nursing them now, and being a great mother. I already have a favorite, and it's a little girl. All babies are dumbo with pink and black eyes. I will know colors in about a week but darkening of the skin should appear by tomorrow night, and maybe even by the morning if I am lucky. This is my first litter in a few months so it was a little nerve wracking but I have sense calmed down and am enjoying being a grandma once again.


I will post photos later on today of the mom and babies, but for now, here is a couple of the mom, Akemi.

When are you going to send two my way?



I love the name Akemi, btw.

I'd be more than happy to bring you two if I go to Florida. We are actually thinking of going there next year to take Dylan to Disneyworld, or maybe even this fall if things go my way! I will most definitely have babies in the fall too. You know, you can always take a trip to Oregon.

I am glad you like the name. It's Japanese. I got it from here:

She may not be bright but she is beautiful. All of the babies are going to have Japanese themed names, hehe. So start racking your brain for Japanese stuff!

No, I didn't see you, but I saw a post from you here on Pet Talk with photos of the new birdies. You had some really good eagle pics. The topic of the thread was "Two new birdy additions" or something like that. One was a lutino, and the other was a pearl I think, hehe.

But I already have a lutino and a pearl! You probably just saw Popcorn and Muffin, but your dream twisted up the facts. Or maybe your dream took you 4 1/2 years in the past to the day when I brought Popcorn and Muffin home.

No no LOL, these were two very different birds, and there were photos of all four of them together. hehe So just except the fact you are getting two more birds! Are you holding out on us?

I actually asked my mom if I could get another bird the other day. She said *We're not ready to add another pet to the family right now.* So maybe your dream took place two years in the future.

Maybe she just said that because she's going to surprise you!
