Miss Yellow and Miss Orange Make Nine!

Yup... it looks like the gang's all here now.  Two more black little girls bring this litter's grand total to nine! :)

Miss Yellow made her grand appearance at 12:03 (just past midnight) weighing in at 11 oz. and officially making this litter another 2-date litter.





And Miss Orange (for now marked with a pink/yellow double collar) decided to announce little self at 2:22 a.m. and weighing 13 oz.  Oh my, and announce herself she did... wiggly, strong, and vocal from the second she popped out!




She even posed for the camera (such a smart girl she is!)(hehe):



And here's the crew, belly up to the bar!






I'm certain we're done with delivery now (Kenya is acting like she is). And we have nine lovely little additions to our Lab family. :)

Here's our final tally:

6 girls, 3 boys
6 black (2 boys/4 girls), 3 chocolate (1 boy/2 girls)

And all are healthy and fine.

We still have some cleaning up to do, but I'll check in later today with some videos (hehe... the pups are singing away as I write this!). :)

How grateful we are for an uneventful whelping. Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers (keep 'em coming... first days are critical).

Look for more a little later in the day.

'til next time,
Joan

Your pictures are bringing back memories of our litter from last summer - we had a litter of 9 blacks and chocolates too! Looking forward to watching your little ones growing up over the next couple weeks. Congratulations and best wishes to you all.
