Miracle has settled in to her new home very well, they have taught her to come, sit, fetch, lie down. Her new family says she is a quick learner and now is up to 18.5 pounds. She is getting along with “Quincy” their other chocolate lab. Her new family registered her with AKC as Sunsets Little Miracle and her call name is Latte. No matter what her call name is Arlene and I are just happy that our little Miracle has a wonderful home with such a great family.

Becky’s puppies are doing very well at this time. They all are growing very fast and are extremely alert to their surroundings. At 30 days old we moved their whelping pen from upstairs to the downstairs so they would see and experience more activity. The first few days they just took everything in, watching our other dogs and our 2 cats now the puppies want to romp with our older dogs. We usually don’t move their whelping pen until they are 6 weeks old but they all seemed like they were getting bored with just listening to music and having Arlene and I to socialize with and they would bark when ever they heard our other dogs barking. This litter has progressed at a rapid pace, they look and act like they are about 7 weeks and they are only 5 weeks. We had to put 2 pans of food down so they all had room to eat and boy do they eat. Next Friday they all go to the doggy doctor and then they will start going outside. Also it is hard to take picture they all move so fast, the best time for pictures is when they are eating at least then they are usually not moving so fast.

Week 4 and all are doing very well. The puppies are all growing and are very large for only being 4 weeks old. They are very alert and noisy, barking and romping all around. You would have to think they were 5 weeks old instead of 4 weeks old. There size and appetites have put a strain on Becky and she is becoming an unhappy mother at this point. She only likes to stay with them a short period of time. We decided to try and feed them yesterday and there was no trying about it. They all dug right in to the mashed up puppy chow like they have been eating for a week. It is in creditable the way this litter has progressed so fast.
