Another generation on the way
 

We weren't planning on it but my 19 month old male Lab decided puppies was an excellent idea for Christmas! We're getting a welping box moved into the "gun room", moving some things around to make room and counting down to 12-15 (we think) for the magic of arrival. My female looks like a beer keg with legs, certainly isn't far off. This is our fifth litter over the many years of raising Labs but the apprehension and anticipation seems always to be the same. My wife couldn't wait and had an ultrasound done. Mercifully the count appears to be 6....wonderful. We've had a couple of really large litters (10 and 12) over the years and were pleased as this is an easily manageable number for all involved. Pics in a few weeks.
