(MJ is the one sucking Mom for milk)

In this page, you will find Maochai giving birth to MJ. During this time, I was thanking God that their were already three! I knew there will be more on the way. It was just nice because so far they are all black-tan, just like Mom and Dad.

MJ was delivered the thinnest. She was only 15.52 ounces... less than 1 pound! As you can see in the 2nd picture, when she was sucking milk from Mom, you will see how long she is but from the looks of her, she is so light! She is also the shortest of the four.

When MJ came out, I didn't know if I'd assist her to Maochai's teets. I was confused if I should lift her or just move her in sweeping motion. She looks so limp, so unhealthy, so lifeless. But my worries were just worries! After 24 hours, she was good as anyone else. She turned out to be the fastest sucker but she also was the eater! Her weighed doubled fast when we started giving them milk replacement. She competed well with Lola...of course she is still the smallest, but the cutest!

Now that she's with Jane, we know that she will be just fine.
