Lab Puppies, 4 weeks old

Pups are still here. Over 4 weeks old now, nearly weaned, they are ready to go! People come and look at them, and 2 are already spoken for and Honey is getting a chance too along with one pup next week. I'll keep the rest of them here for adoption:







This is the entire setup for now. I wrapped the crate in some tarp and plastic, because it is so windy and got a bit cold:

Olivia, Day 9

Olivia gained 20 lbs in her first week here. Now it is time to start working on those muscles:

Olivia, day 8, gained 20 lbs

Today I took Olivia to the vet to get her weighed. She gained 20 lbs!!!!!!!!!!

And he looks goood! I'm a bit concerned that the weight gain is too fast, but she is just blossoming!

See for yourself:

Say what?

Olivia, day 6

Olivia has gotten some shine to her fur now! I'm cooking rice for her with some chicken and put a couple of raw eggs in there, and I mix that with the dry food. She gets a bowl of that mix 5 times a day and she eats it all.

This morning she greeted me by trying to jump on me, but I did not allow that. She's too big for that and could do some serious damage to a person that way.

I took her on a walk to the shelter along with Honey...both are a DREAM to walk! I thought my own dogs were good, but nooo, these 2 ladies are just something else .

Then we got the Labrador Couch, rofl..those 2 made friends too:

And of course Josie is right in the middle again...we have 3 pups nursing and 3 pups drinking water:

Olivia, day 5

Olivia made a friend . She's slowly coming out of her shell. The door to the pen is always open, and she considers the pen her 'safe place', where she goes into as soon as she gets scared or wants her quiet.

Today is the first time she left the pen to lay down and get comfy at a different spot.

She also alerts when somebody walks by..what a bark she has!

Josie, our other fostercare puppy (she was hit by a car and had a ruptured CCL. She's recovering nicely without surgery.) is making friends with Olivia.



and so did Honey. She's taking a break from the puppies and our cat Gremlin is keeping her company:

Olivia, day 4, and the rest of the Gang

Day 4: Olivia is doing great. She is showing interest in the other dogs, runs around a bit, sleeps much less and is more active..and she discovered the couch!



Here's she takes a walk with Olliver:



And while I'm at it, Honey adopted Josie (she even nurses her!!!) and Josie does a good job babysitting the puppies! Happy family here lol.
