Ida Mae is the proud mom of nine beautiful Labrador puppies.

She kept us busy all of New Year’s Eve.

It was the BEST way to start the New Year!!

2 yellow boys, 1 yellow girl. 3 black boys and 3 black girls.

All are healthy and gaining weight like crazy!

Can you see this little one’s tongue hanging out while he sleeps?

His face and feet pads will turn black very quickly.

Ida Mae refuses to leave her puppies, so we bring her

“Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Bed”.

Grandmother, Gracie Clementine came in to see her new Grandpuppies.

Ida Mae is her daughter.

Earlier in the morning Ida Mae was trying to get comfortable on the couch.

Tina is telling her “You can’t have your puppies here.”

After the couch, Ida Mae decided maybe the king size bed

would be “Just Right” for her.

We had to show her the whelping box that was waiting for her.

 This whelping box has had many litters of puppies born inside it.

It gives the mom a secure feeling. We bring it into our bedroom

when we know puppies are coming.

The puppies will stay here for four weeks.

This is Ida Mae’s First Born! He is a little yucky looking

but Ida Mae cleaned him up gently.

We are at 3 pups at this point. 1 yellow boy, 1 yellow girl and 1 black girl.

All they want to do is eat!!!

Last night Sally and Sammy Sweetheart were allowed to come in

and meet the new pups. They like watching from the bed.

Everybody wants to see the babies!!!

They will all be involved eventually with Ida Mae’s pups.
