Sugar's a Mom.....Again

This is with only ten, so I'm sure you can imagine the horror of twelve.

Sugar had her puppies. Actually she had them the night of the 8th, but things have been a little hectic. She had 8 puppies and after an hour and a half of no more, we went to bed. Well, we woke up to 13 stinkin' puppies! One didn't make it, but there are 12 alive and well.....6 girls and 6 boys. Well now, no wonder she delivered like a week early!! The trickiest part now is making sure they all get to eat. Sugar only has 10 "spots" for feeding these little guys, so we have to feed them in shifts of six. We have one fat, little girl that likes to eat the duration of BOTH shifts, plus some, so she's kind of a pain. Plus, she eats upside down which is amusing. Whatever.:) Anyway, we have to take them today to get their dew claws removed and register the litter with the AKC and then in 6 weeks they'll get their first set of shots. They'll be ready to go to their new homes in September at 7 weeks old. Anyway, we have a couple that are already spoken for, but if you know anybody that's looking for an AKC registered lab, they're for sale. They're all yellow. The Mom's on site (obviously) and we will have pictures of the Dad (he lives in Naches). Both come from good hunting lines and Sugar's especially good in the water. Anyway, as much as I don't like pets, Sugar really is a good dog. She protects Hunter from other dogs when we go places. It's really cute. You can give them our phone #'s, we don't care. So, anyway, that's the latest scoop. Another day in the life. These are some pictures of her with her last litter.....I haven't taken any new ones yet. The Dad of this litter is the brother of the Dad of the last litter, so they look pretty much the same.
The top one is when they're still a little younger and these last two are when they're about ready to be placed. I love this last one because of that fat, little boy. He was awesome. And he's huge now!
