The puppies are here!


Our Lady Bird is a momma! She's doing great. She had 7 puppies on Friday afternoon; 5 boys and 2 girls. They seem to be growing so much every day. They are all in the barn in our special puppy area.

This was a few hours after the birth. Lady Bird was tuckered out! The puppies have all been nursing great and seem to be about the same size.

Look at that big, roly poly pup on top!


A close up of one of the puppies...They will open their eyes in 1-2 weeks and we take them to the vet for their first check up (to have their dew claws removed and their shot for worms) on Monday.


Sam wasn't quite sure what to think of these little guys at first. Now he's loving going to the barn to check on Lady. Aunt Jodie - notice his boots. We wear these every day for our barn trips.

Ok - I'm sure there are more puppy posts to come!

How precious..puppies are the best! I'm sure Sam is having such a great time with them! Let us know if you need a good vet (ha!) or have any questions. :)

What a fun learning experience for Sam. I remember being around baby kittens, puppies, pigs and calves while I was growing up. It was great! His work boots are adorable. Boys are so much fun!
