Girl 10

DOB 11/15/09

"Little Bo Peep" is called "Molly" in her new home! We called her Little Bo Peep due to her small size.

Molly was a TINY, TINY puppy compared to the rest of her litter. Look at the picture below. That was Molly laying on top of a puppy that was her litter mate....a full sibling and look at how small she is. Then, look at her now!!!

In these pictures, Molly had just finished celebrating her first birthday. She is a strong girl, but not quite as large as some of Nina's other pups. She was by far our smallest pup ever and required bottle feeding for her first few weeks. I am surprised at how much she has grown. I am guessing, but I suspect she is about 65 lbs.
 

Below are some of Molly's puppy pictures....

This tiny little girl weighs about 1/2 of what her other siblings will weigh. When she was born, she came out in shared sac with another tiny pup. I suspect she was a twin. We bottle fed her until she was strong enough to latch onto momma, and by the time she was 3 days old, she was fighting her way in among her big siblings and getting good long drinks from momma's teats. We also tend to believe that even though she is so small now, she will still end up growing fairly big and not be a tiny adult Lab. I am not sure of this due to never having such an extremely small pup before. She is a doll and noticed by everyone!

It is December 12 and she is still tiny. I have talked with vets and other breeders who say that I am going to be surprised at how big she ends up. I am not sure how big she will get, for this is our first twin. She is a snuggly dog who must have really wanted to live. She is darling, being both playful and quiet at this age.

January 5th. 2009 and Molly went home today! She was stared at intensely by 3 cats who are all bigger than she is....for now!
