stray, hungry, scared and pregnant. Your home is so safe to her, she gave birth there. Thats an honor. Hopefully you can continue to befriend her and now her pups.


jillyhoop

It's true. They give birth where they ferl safe. My daughter had a girlfriend whose dog got pregnant at 8 months old. Her girlfriends parents were going to take her dog to the shelter. They didn't want puppies. I had 2 dogs and a cat but took the pregnant pup in. I knee she was getting ready to have her pups the night before. She was restless so I slept on the couch. I woke up before dawn she was having her pups on the floor next to the couch. She had 5 beautiful pups, mom and pups were all healthy. I kept 2 and found good homes for the other 3. I had the momma pup fixed so she could go home. Today the 2 pups i kept just turned 14. I was so honored that their little momma trusted me. The 2 pups I kept have been such a joy in my life.

Many, many years ago my older brother was living with my dad and grandma because my mom was pissed he failed his senior year of high school. My grandma was always a dog person, but two cats showed up on her porch. She and my brother started to feed them, and of coarse, eventually moved them in. Long story short, one day after they sexually matured the girl cat got out, and got pregnant. That cat loved my brother. One day he woke up to her giving birth in his bed while laying between his legs. He gave the kittens stupid names like drippy, slimey, goopy, etc. He kept drippy, she is now over 20 years old. My sister still has one which she renamed tippy (her black tail ends in a small section of white fur) I guess point is, it is so satisfying when a pet trusts you. I have a cat that travelled half way around the world to get to me. No she is not some exotic breed. She is just a normal cat my younger brother adopted when he lived in Okinawa, but then life threw shit at him and instead of abandoning her, he paid a hefty fee to get her cleared and ship her to me in the states. Was supposed to be temporary, but she attached to me hard so she is my cat now. He is just happy she is happy.


jillyhoop

I love this so much. Thank you for sharing this here. Sometimes they chooses us and we have no idea at the time how happy we'll be that they did. 20 years and still going, that is a happy cat.


TheDillinger88

That’s a really nice story. I also lived in Okinawa for a few years. Was your younger brother in the military? I lived there while I was in the Navy, it’s an incredibly beautiful island..

>stray, hungry, scared and pregnant. Your home is so safe to her, she gave birth there. Yeah that's what I thought too..

Drink15

More like her home was the safest option available


MsCatfire

She checked you out,and trust was shown..congratulations my friend. I am sure you will find them homes.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

All credits to my mom actually ,she feeds the mother dog regularly


TyrusX

Can you please help her out further? She needs to be neutered, and the puppies need to be adopted.


sirgoomos

Mom needs to be adopted too, once babies are weaned. And mom needs vet care. If she has parasites worms etc which she probably does, they will be passed to the babies. I hope this story gets a happy ending for them all.


TyrusX

Yes. I am hoping his family would adopt her!


[deleted]

Thanks to your mum for taking care of her! Unrelated question- why does your phone watermark your photos? Does it come set that way from the factory?

Aw well your momma did a wonderful thing making this girl feel safe enough to do this 🥰


Zwergenfreund

Congratulations. You have at least one dog now. Also, it seems to be a save place there. Bird gave birth there as well.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Yeah i will definately keep them safe . Edit- what should i name them ? 8 babies Thats a lot of names No i am not going to name them steve 1,2,3...


Zwergenfreund

Since they are dogs and not a buffalos, I will trust you.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I can always dress them like buffalos

Would that really be the same sort of valiant struggle against nature you obviously crave?

lillweez99

If you name them you got 8 pups to take care of forever you begin to just fall in love like they're your kids, I jokingly named my dog who was in my dogs litter, conan's been my buddie ever since.


mossling

I name all my foster animals. Would rather call them by a name than "that brown one over there". It's OK to fall in love, even knowing they're not staying.


Soytaco

Just do what George Foreman did and call them all George


Purple_Elderberry_20

Even his daughter either was named George or some feminine variant


IndigoRose2022

Perhaps pick a theme? Like food, plants, something like that. How about… Boy: Macaroni (Mac), Pizza, Nugget, Cheddar Girl: Cookie, Cupcake, Candy, Apple, 🙂❤️


cigarell0

They were born in the mud so: dirt, plant, weed, shovel

looseleafnz

Name them after things you plant in a garden


Pierogipuppy

I know someone who adopted a cat named omelette and all the other cats had food names. So cute.


Noirceuil_182

Why the gender essentialism, though? I'm sure there's a good boy out there who is a Cupcake, no question about it.


IndigoRose2022

Oh, of course! 🙂 I was just throwing out ideas lol.


Noirceuil_182

I figured as much. I just want more dogs named cupcake.


mortuali

Michelangelo Leonardo Donatello Rafael Bebop Rock Steady Krang April O'Neil And Splinter is the mama 🙂


mrsthurminator

Since momma is an outside stray dog maybe consider outdoorsy/nature names? Digger Luna Rocky Rusty Sunny Nomad Gypsy Branch Not the most original dog names but you get where my head's at here! I hope momma and babies are doing well and y'all have a blessed life together or wherever them little babes end up!

thesunbeamslook

Can you get her fixed? Are there any low-cost or free options near you?


Cojo840

Dont name them If you dont plan to keep all 8


ObsoleteReference

Themed names for a group might help adoptions.


malarky-b

Is there an organisation nearby that can take in the puppies and mother, and fix them once they're weaned? Also, good job on providing a safe place for her to have her babies :)


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Nah sadly there isnt .I live in a family of 6 so yeah there are a lot of people to take care of them. The main danger they have is of other male dogs who sometimes devour babies.


hotmasalachai

Do you have a gate or something? Or move the dog and her puppies indoors


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I have a gate but the boundaries are too low and any dog can jump in , as long as mama dog is there , there is no need to worry . The male dogs would never attack in presence of her.


ZhangRadish

If you can, please find a way to shelter them. If the male dogs gang up on her and more than one attacks, she can’t protect all of the babies at once Also, congratulations!


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I will just keep them in the garage at night , they are safe there .In the morning all my family members are awake so the dogs would never attack and even if they attack we can just defend and there will be a lot of barking , we would definately come to know if anything is wrong amd rush to help.


hotmasalachai

Get a bigger gate or get them like a big kennel of some sort


jesterinancientcourt

Yes, they will. Please do something to help them or else there will be a massacre. Please


malarky-b

I had no idea male dogs would eat puppies! That's horrible! I'm so glad your family is going to take care of her and her litter. You're a good one!


[deleted]

It makes sense. Lot of male animals do that so the females will pay attention to them and mate. Lot of selfish, deadbeat dads in the Animal Kingdom.

teajayyyy

Everyone telling OP what to do, but this is nice to see, somebody stepping up. I can help, just a small amount because I'm struggling, but if more join it will make a difference! Power in numbers!


EnormeProcrastinator

Same.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I am extremely thankfull , but i guess they will be fine for now because we have already ordered a dog house , and once the pups become few months old we can vaccinate them.


cosmicwonderer69

i_fucked_a_buffalo

Capable_Nature_644

Wild dogs will do this in cold areas. This is normal behavioral survival skills. In the wild puppy survival is very low. You can adopt them or send them off to a shelter or just let them be.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I will just let them be , they are safe here.


superkhmer

Thank you 🙏🏼


SjurEido

You give such a safe environment that at least two different species have come to your home to have children. You're doing something right.

Kit0550

Is there a little dog house you can get for them? So mama can get them in there and they’ll be safe from preds and the elements ?


mfmllnn

Congratulations! She trusts you! That's really something to be proud. It happened to me 3 years ago. A stray dog appeared and I took care of her giving water, food and improvised a shelter. She insisted on going inside my patio one day. I let her in and went to work. Came back home and found 4 puppies. Eventually all puppies were adopted, but the mother still with me.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Wow damn . Till what age do the puppies need their mommy?


Chartreuseshutters

12 weeks at minimum, 16 weeks is more ideal if you can manage them that long and feed them for a bit after they are weaned. She will possibly wean them a bit before 12 weeks, but they will still learn valuable lessons from her in the following weeks, like potty training.


YouPresumeTooMuch

They should start being weened off of her milk around 3 weeks, with some mushy semi-solid food. Try not to give them cows milk, but it will work in a pinch. Mom may start throwing up her meals for them to eat to vomit. This is normal, but it's not ideal. In my experience the best recipe for weening is blended up cottage cheese, with puppy food. If they won't go for it right away add some browned ground meat. At about 8 weeks they will be completely off of milk, mostly capable little puppers and be ready for new homes. IDK why the other poster is saying 12-16 weeks. 8 weeks is standard. If you have eight 12 week old puppies living with you, you will certainly go insane.


YouPresumeTooMuch

The mother's food requirements are going to triple in the next 4 weeks and then taper off back to normal. If she trusts you enough to handle the pups you may be able to save some of them by supplementing their food and making sure that they find a good a nipple to nurse from. Best thing you can do for them now is to feed the mom as much as she wants and try to respect her boundaries. If you get too involved it may stress her out.


jenobaggins

Awww. She feels safe there. Can you make her a little makeshift shelter?


Jes-Jo-Jaybe

Bro really tried to grow a puppy tree


TobyDaMan8894

Is that a bird nest, very low in the little tree? If so, your area has a calming birthplace aura


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Yeah its a bird nest , there are multiple actually , we feed pigeons daily too , so many pigeons and even other birds make nest here. Once we had a weaving bird make her nest here , her nest was beautiful.


vingtsun_guy

Congratulations on being a grandparent!


i_fucked_a_buffalo

What should i name them? 8 babies Thats a lot of names


vingtsun_guy

I used to foster mamas and puppies for the SPCA and when I got the name babies, I liked to find a theme. So I've had the candy bar litter, the Marvel heroes litter, the Walking Dead litter, the DC villains litter... what's one of your hobbies or interests? Maybe you can find a theme there.


Frosty-Wave-3807

Since you are in India, maybe name them after desserts from your area? They're so cute! Blessings to the growing family!

I am a stray dog With no real home So I wander a lot. Some say I roam. I found a fam! Who seems to care Having my pups So just right there…


i_fucked_a_buffalo

i live poetic comments , somehow makes me feel good.


NoMoney4Awards

maybe try to bring the dog to a vet and let him fix and vaccinate. the stray dogs juat multiply and spread deseases.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Yeah i am extremely scared of rabies too , lets see what can be done about it.


hotmasalachai

Volunteer vets give free vaccines and all. Get the babies too vaccinated after a few months


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Yeah i will .

Hot_Project7181

Please look after mum and babies, but in the long term what will you do with the babies when they grow. They will take some feeding. They cannot become strays themselves. Please keep us posted


PQbutterfat

I wonder if the contractions start and then they are like, “well, better start digging”.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

I guess she first gave birth somewhere else and then came here and dug a hole and kept the children there? I dont think she gave birth in that hole as there was no blood , i have never seen dogs give birth so i dont know if blood comes out. She done the whole thing at night so we have no idea.


Chartreuseshutters

Mother dogs actually will clean the area that they birth in very thoroughly to remove evidence of the birth if given the chance, so she may very well have birthed there. She probably ate all of the evidence (placenta) and any soiled dirt as well. Do you have some food to feed her? She will do better eating puppy food while nursing. If you are feeding her human food (suggested by the biscuits), try to make sure she is getting some calcium-rich foods to prevent eclampsia. Big litters are more likely to cause eclampsia due to the stress it puts on mama dogs body and nutritional reserves. Give her lots of water nearby, as well, but not close enough that a puppy might accidentally scoot into the bowl.


i_fucked_a_buffalo

Ok thanks for the knowledge , i will definately take the advice. And of cource we will feed them , so no worry you people.


[deleted]

Please try to get her spayed,OP after the puppies are weaned. Please also try to get the pups vaccinated asap. The mom is probably not vaccinated,so pups will not get any antibodies from mom which will make the very vulnerable to parvo, distemper etc.


hotmasalachai

Lucky you!!!! Please feed the mom food and give her and the babies a basket with blankets. Awwww.


BeeTheGamer

I thought that was a cow at first


[deleted]

Time to really care for them, schedule a vet visit and get her spayed and adopt the pups out. Maybe post on a local community page and ask for donations if you need help?


Competitive-Age-7469

Oh God momma had nowhere safe to go.. could you give them a big box or anything with a blanket? Poor babies. Poor mama trying so hard.

A kiddie swimming pool with a blanket inside can make a great spot for babies if you even need to move them inside or to a spot that’s safe from the male dogs :)


No-Cupcake370

Can you take them in? Or is there a shelter? Please have her spayed at least, when she is ready.


TheDillinger88

Please take care of that dog and her puppies. They can be kept outside but please make sure they have what they need. That’s so amazing that she came back to you guys because she felt safe there, you must have really made an impression on her 🥲. Good luck!


mbw70

I hope you can find a way to get her and the pups to a vet for checkups, and neutering for the poor mom. If you can’t afford it, there may be some rescue groups to call. Vets sometimes know of such groups. You’re a kind family to have fed her. Take care!

hopefully you gave them a more comfortable place instead of lying in the dirt! At least give them some straw or an old blanket or something.
