May we introduce Malaika
-
What a little darling. She is so cute, I wanted to nuzzle the computer screen!
-
Welcome little lady your so sweet and pretty. I know you just got the best of the best for your new home. She looks so darn sweet sleeping. I am so very happy for you and your new baby.

Lovely, what a face!!!
-
Oh, she is absolutely gorgeous! You must be so pleased to finally have her home!!
Is that a little umbilical hernia i can see in the pics? If so, just poke it back in when you're giving her some fuss and hold it there for a few mins at a time. Very often that will close them back up ;) As long as its not the more serious type of course!
Yes Jess she does have a hernia, thanks for the advice, Elaine has told us to gently push it back. I massage it with my finger and have managed to get it in twice. How many times a day do you think ?

She is adorable!!! I love the name Malaika. One of my favorite gorillas was named Malaika, sadly she died last week…so it seems fitting a new baby B will have her name :)
Do you work with Gorillas Andrea ?
I'm glad you like her name. -
Thank you everyone, we are sooooo pleased it's unreal.
She has met her feline brothers, Tom being a very laid back type of Cat is being very kind to her and allowing her to sniff, he's only hit her once and that was very gently.
Jerry on the otherhand is nervous and has exploded in her face as only Cats can. -

I'd do it as much as possible, just when you're giving her a cuddle. My pug Delilah had a very large hernia as a pup but with lots of regular sessions of pushing it back in it closed up and has not been a problem since. She just thought she was getting belly tickles and loved it :D It wont go away so easily if it is an "open" hernia (where the intestines (i think) are coming out through it) and that would need an operation but it only looks like a little one so hopefully it will go with time anyway :D
Love the last picture of her, what a gorgeous face!!

She's beautiful, Shelley and I hope you have years of pleasure with her. Re the hernia - I agree, just massage it and push it back whenever (as frequently as you can). This often works but don't worry if it doesn't - it's not really important. Very rarely they cause a problem.

Very cute! Congrats to you! Keep the pictures coming!
