Well it's been 9 1/2 weeks now, and things are finally settling down around here. Much thanks to those of you who had advice and encouragement to offer (none to those who just had criticism). We found a home for the last two of the puppies that we're not keeping (we're keeping two) last...

Labbreeder, your puppies are beautiful! One of my pups is a chocolate lab mix, and he has the prettiest blue eyes like your dogs. I have had bad luck with digital cameras, I took some pics with a "real" camera and will get the film back in a few days. Then I can finally put some pictures...

Sorry it took me awhile, I am almost done reading the book and I am grateful that you sent it! I have learned quite a bit.......will let you know when I am finished with it!

Finally, some new pictures Here is a picture my husband took today.....don't you think that this black and white puppy is big for his age(4 weeks and 2 days old)? You can't see very much of his brother in the pic, but he is quite a bit bigger. Almost twice the size of the two runts of the...

Well, it seems one of my four week old puppies is a whiner.......I have not found any hints on how to deal with this for a dog so young. As luck would have it(!), this is the pup that my daughter has chosen to keep. For the past couple of weeks or so, she has been the whiniest, but for the past...

The puppies are doing really good, they are wearing me out! I promise I will get some more pictures on here. Check out my post on the cat forum, this billboard was up for months outside a vet's office in the country. Not something that you will see every day...

Bubbatd, my book came in the mail today!!!! Thank you so much, I am going to start reading it today!!

The puppies are doing good! Some are whiny, and it's hard for me to figure out what exactly they are whining FOR, reminds me of when my daughter was an infant! I haven't gotten the book yet, but I will let you know. I know that if it went media mail, it can take 8-10 days or so.

SummerRiot, I didn't breed her on purpose, she had an oops litter. I didn't know she went through heat, and she broke down the dog door that leads outside. I have been castigated about it by 2 people on here already, believe me!!!! So we are just dealing with the situation day by day. P.S...

Buddy'sParents, you can definitely have one! I don't know if I mentioned this before, but the mom dog does not spend very much time in the whelping box. She is just overwhelmed and doesn't know what she's doing, I guess. I have to coerce her to go in there and feed them when it's feeding...

I just HAD to show you this billboard........this was in front of a veterinary clinic near my house in the country. I thought I had seen everything, until this!

More pictures I took two pictures of my proud mama dog, one weeks ago and one today. In the first pic, it looks like she is cradling her newborn. In the second one, she is laying beside laundry basket-loving Nick Jr. This silly pup will cry and cry, and the minute I put her in her laundry...

Nick Jr. is about a week and a half in the first pic(from a few posts ago), in the pic where she is on her back, she was three weeks and one day. I am still looking for homes for about 5 of them, but I have hope! It's not out of the question that I may end up keeping more than one! My husband...

I may have mentioned before, I am going to keep one puppy. I can't decide which one.......the runt of the litter has stolen my heart, but I am afraid she might have health problems later on. It's hard to listen to your head vs. your heart where animals are concerned, though! Sorry to...

Thanks, Saje, I'll try Dropshots. All the photo sharing sites I've tried either won't let me upload more than one photo without getting error messages, or I can't put a photo in my post but just a link to it. LabBreeder, the mom is half German Shepherd and half lab, and the dad is at least...
