Nearly 4 weeks

Pups are getting more curious and peeking over the side of the pool, but thankfully still sleeping a lot and not trying to escape just yet.  Their teeth have come through and they will begin 1 meal a day of mushy puppy food soon. 

But for now ... Introductions! 

Disclaimer:  Our kids help with determining their Farm Names to help us in identification till they receive their adopted names from you. ;)   Once you make a reservation we will replace their farm name with your given adoptive name. 

Green paw collar (Sleepy) 
Sleepy because he likes to settle in and sleep when held every day. 
There are only two types of white markings pure bred labs are allowed to have, either on their paw or their chest.  Three pups from this litter have a marking on their chest like our sire, and Sleepy carries the biggest one.  Though it's not big at all. Once they get more comfortable standing on a surface that's not their bed, I will be able to get a picture of their full body. 

Black paw collar (Batman)

Batman because he has a black collar and my 5 year old loves batman.
Batman is the only one in this litter with a small white marking on is two rear paws, just like his mama. 

Pink paw collar (Phoepe)
Phoepe is the only girl!!  She also has a very small white marking on her chest and is one of the two pups that are just a bit more curious about their surroundings right now. 

Shadow   (Blue paw collar)
Shadow is the third and last pup to have a small white marking on his chest.  So far he and Phoebe have shown the most initiative in sniffing out their surroundings (limited to our laps for now). 

Rocky   (Green stripe collar)
Rocky is one of the three pups that have no markings at all.  He's just black all over.

Oliver  (Yellow stripe collar)
Oliver is also black all over with no markings. 

Midnight  (Blue stripe collar)
Midnight is the last of the solid black pups.

Colt  (Black stripe collar)
Colt is our only yellow lab!  If he would have also been the only female we joke that we could have named them after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Almost three weeks old

Growing, eating, sleeping, growing, eating, sleeping, growing, eating, sleeping.   Growing so big that they were beginning to be able to climb out of their smaller 'den' as they stiffed out mama Jetta just outside of their space.  So to prevent any accidental escapes, this week we've moved them into the bigger kiddie pool.

They've also opened their eyes, received their first wormer medicine and their first nail clipping. 
It's tricky to get a good shot of them.  They just want to nuzzle their noses down in the soft blanket. 
We will soon have more agile playful pups as they get their balance on those four paws.  But for now, more growing, eating and sleeping. 

One week

Pups are one week and doing great!   Most have doubled in weight we will begin to see them slowly start opening their eyes this week!  They still just scoot around on their little bellies and usually only toward mama when she enters the bed to feed them.  

Here's a few seconds of video footage

New Arrivals

Jetta's litter is here!  
Seven black males,
One black female,
And one yellow male.  All doing well.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.  As they grow we will be able to see their personalities and know better which pup might fit best in your home.  These pups will be ready to come home toward the end of May!

Home

It has been so rewarding to finally get to meet you all and your families and watch you enjoy your new family member as much as I'd hoped you would.  Thank you all so much for providing a loving home for your pup!  As the months go on we would love for you to send us an update on how they are growing.

Bath time before coming home!  Special thanks to my mom for all her help in getting this wet job done.
