Easter puppies

After an extremely long labor, Tara whelped 7 healthy puppies between 8am and 12pm Easter Sunday.

She and her new litter are all doing well. I must say, I was more than surprised to see four red tri colored pups! Her past two litters have been so colorful in comparison. Nevertheless the puppies are gorgeous and I'm sure they'll mature to be wonderful little dogs.

I didn't want to mess with them too much (other than to make sure they were healthy and to get individual weights on all of them) so I'll have to post better pictures at a later time. For now, a group shot!
