Juliette's fourth litter was born May 13, 2013. This is a repeat breeding of ICAN's Musical Litter being Lab-Golden cross pups by ICAN's Jammer. ICAN is planning to take over rearing this litter at around 3 weeks of age with the loving care of the handlers at Indiana Women's prison. These pups should be extra well prepared to become assistance dog trainees in ICAN's prison based training program.

Day 2
The pups continue to thrive. Their umbilical cords have dropped off, they are scooching around the pool, and their little tails are starting to wag when they nurse. Many of the pups have already outgrown their newborn hairband elastic collars. Weights gains are good at 2-3 oz since birth. Mother Nature has been kind. It was cool for the whelp, but now warm for the puppies' first week. Tomorrow I will start the BioSensor early neurological stimulation exercises.
