Puppies


My dad's dog, Coco, had puppies 11 days ago. We were at my parents house the day she went into labor. (Do dog's go into Labor? Hmmm...) Anyways, she had 6 puppies, about 1 every hour. The puppies are pure bred labrador retrievers. There are 2 yellow labs, and 4 black/brown ones they haven't opened their eyes yet. (We can't tell if they will be black or brown yet, Coco is brown - but all 4 pups look black) The kids have been DYING to hold the puppies. So, on Sunday, I decided to take their picture, and my dad snuck out 2 puppies. Coco was watching us through a chain link fenced whining and really worrying about her pups. It was cute. Here they are!
I liked this picture because Haley is touching a puppy. When I first sat them down, she was sucking her thumb next to Kyle. She looked at the puppy for a minute, popped her thumb out of her mouth, and pet the puppy.
Jake was so excited! This is definately a glimpse into Jake's softer side...

So, if you know anyone who would like a puppy...We ( Troy and I ) refuse to have an animal - we already have 4 - so we will not be bringing a puppy home with us. We told the kids they get to keep 6 puppies for 6 weeks! Lucky kids!

Cute little things. Way to be strong about not keeping any. I can't imagine taking on dogs along with our bunch either.

Those look so darn cute. We would love one, but we aren't getting one until we have a house with a backyard. We have always planned on getting a lab puppy when we get a house with a yard. Kids and puppies make the cutest puppies.
