One day old

Fern decided that 4 puppies were enough for her to cope with for her first litter and we are pleased to report that they are all doing very well.  We were very surprised when she only had 4 but we are grateful that they are all healthy.  The dog that we mated her with was a chocolate labrador so again we were surprised that there were no chocolate puppies - she must have given chocolate up for Lent ! 
Fern went for a quick 2 minute break this morning and her Mum and Grandma had a sniff around her just to make sure all was well - she soon dashed back  to her new little family though.
