Update On Chocolate Lab Puppies

On Saturday, we went to visit the puppies again. They have grown since we last saw them. At three weeks old, their eyes are open and they are walking. A few of them have discovered their voices and can make some very unusual noises that, instead of sounding like barks, sound like little squeaks and grunts.

The kids enjoyed petting the Labrador Retriever puppies and observing how much they had grown and changed in the two weeks since they saw them last.

We can't wait to go back and see how much the pure-bred chocolate labs have grown and changed since the last time we saw them. I will keep you posted.

Chocolate Lab Puppies

A friend of ours just had nine chocolate lab puppies- pure bred. The proud parents are Godiva and Hershey. Don't you love those names? They also have another lab named Whitman. Yummy~ I'm hungry for some chocolate now. The puppies were born on Pete's birthday, August 16. Mike called Pete and told him they were coming that evening, so Pete and Katie drove out to Mike's farm to watch the births. Unfortunately, they stayed for a while and none were born (momma was resting between puppies), but they got to see the few already born and observe a dog in labor (contractions, blood, etc.). Pete and Katie had a great discussion about the birth process, too. Eleven were born that night, but two didn't make it. Overall, it was a wonderful learning experience for Katie!
