Wilma delivered her second litter of future Assistance Dogs today....11 healthy golden lab puppies. Five boys and 6 girls. Eleven must be Wilma's lucky number! The delivery went very smoothly with no problems. The first 3 pups were born within 1o minutes! The first pup was born at 6:10 and and at 6:20, puppies 2 and 3 decided to come out together! An hour and a half into it, we had 6 puppies! Wilma was a puppy machine! The littlest pup is 15.4 oz and the biggest is1 lb 3 oz. A very even sized litter.

Wilma seemed much stronger this time around. Or maybe just more experienced. She is doing very well and is sleeping with the pups now.

Mr. Orange, just minutes old.

Wilma watches over her new puppies.

Wilma's tail is wrapped to keep all the fluff out of the way. It's a self sticky fabric wrap, used for horses. It really helps. Last time she wore hot pink. This time we went with aqua.

After number 11 was born, Wilma continued to have contractions and grunt. I thought number 12 was on it's way! After a call the vet, I brought her in to be x-rayed, which showed she was clean.

My Contact Info

I moved in June and had to change my e-mail too. In doing so, I lost track of some of the "H" litter families.

My new e-mail is laurav126@gmail.com

Brian and Kelli, I'd love to see Hugo!! And thanks for posting a comment about contacting me. I lost your e-mail when I switched.

To all the "H" litter families, I'd love to put together another collage of the puppies for their one year birthday. If you could, please send me a head shot picture, with no gentle leads if possible, and I'll see how many I get and try to put one together. I can't believe they are already 10 months old and about to become big brothers and sisters!
