Puppies Arrive April 23, 2008

Flyte’s 2008 pups arrived early on April 23, 2008 starting with Larry (The Cable Guy) arrived at 12:20 AM, April 23, at a hefty 19 ounces! and a dark red color. Then came Boomer (the mouthy one) followed at 12:29 AM at 15 ounces, a medium color boy, “Trey” (boy #3) arrived at 1:16 at 14 ounces. FINALLY, at 1:56 Lulu the first girl of medium color plopped out. (14 oz.) followed by at 2:03 AM by the second girl “Deuce” arrived. Last, but not least, Wally (the walrus) arrived at 3:37 AM at a brawny 17 oz. & medium color.

It looks like we’re done and pups are nursing happily. Unlike some newborns who take a while to figure out how to latch onto mom, these kids went right to it and hang on like barnacles on the hull of ship!

I guess Flyte likes the #6. But this time the exact opposite breakdown in sexes of her first litter. None of the pups appear as light as the light pups in the first litter. And Larry is the darkest pup I’ve had in a long while.

Well, okay, there’s not much to see when they’re only 24 hours old (See photo) They’re not retrieving bumpers or going through tunnels yet.

Flyte is being a very good mom, as expected from previous performance. They’re generally very quiet contented pups unless somebody gets away from the crowd & is having a hard time finding his way back.

Those lighter pups aren’t really very light … but compared to those two very dark boys they look light I might expect that when all is said and done we’ll have a bunch of “red dawgs”.
