New Puppies!















We have had the excitement of experiencing the birth of a large litter of puppies!! Happily, it wasn’t at OUR house, but at our friends, the Pittman’s, who live only a short block away. We enjoyed seeing the whole process of dog breeding from that very nice distance! The mother dog (also Abby!!) is very sweet and has been a great mother. She is a black lab and has chocolate lab in her pedigree. She was bred with a chocolate lab, and as you can see from the photos of the 10(!!!) puppies that she had quite a lot of chocolate pups. They are more valuable than the blacks, so the Pittman’s were happy. The puppies are mostly gone – at last count there were three left, but we were very grateful that the Pittman’s let us come over to see them as often as we liked!
