I had posted it to Facebook and then I realized that some read here and not there, there and not here so I should probably put the news here too.
Our puppy was born Thursday, May 20/Friday May 21. Polly went into labor about 11:45 PM on Thursday. She gave birth to 9 adorable chocolate lab babies. 6 females and 3 males. We had made the first of the list so her owners are giving us pick of the females. I can't wait until Jacob sees all of those puppies!
As of today, they are healthy and squirmy but, their eyes and ears are not open yet. They're doing very well and Momma is too.
Our girl (I'm not going to mention her name until we have pictures) will come home with us mid-July.
Jacob picked out her first pink collar this weekend. We also set up her crate - mostly so Jacob could grow tired of playing in it before the puppy came home to use it. He played firetrucks in there for a good hour.
We're very excited for this addition to our family. We've been looking/waiting for her for awhile. I know it's not going to be perfect and this dog will probably frustrate me as much, if not more than Jacob does and I can't even fathom what the two of them together will do to my nervous system. I know training is going to be tough to say the least but, I think my boy and his dog will both be very much worth it in the end. :)
Exciting! Can't wait to see pictures of the pup. I'm sure Jacob is crazy excited! :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! I remember when Maia was born and even more I remember when I heard the voicemail that we could come pick her up 2 weeks early if we wanted. That was the best! Can't wait to see pictures of your new little love and hear the name you've chosen. Congrats!
