Willow's litter by Runner was whelped on July 7, 2010 and includes 6 boys and 1 girl, all yellow Labrador Retrievers. Some of these pups will hopefully grow up to become ICAN assistance dogs. Indiana Canine Assistant Network (ICAN) brings together three uncommon groups - children and adults with disabilities, incarcerated adults, and dogs - to assist people in living their lives more productively and with increased independence.

4 weeks old
Four weeks old, and they are a bunch of playful, curious puppies - and of course totally adorable. In addition to trips to the front yard when weather allows, the pups are starting to get free time in the house. This litter has had no confidence issues, just confidently explore the new environments. The laminate and tile floors in my house have also posed few challenges for these pups. Multiple pups have started looking over the low half gate into the puppy pen. I expect an escapee by this weekend. Four week weights ranged from 6.1 lbs (Sequoia) to 5.2 lbs (Laurel). Little Blue boy Birch has caught up with the big boys and weighs in at 6 lbs. Cedar who was lagging behind the pack these last couple of weeks has thrived on soaked kibble and was the biggest gainer this week, weighing in at 5.9 lbs.
