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.

Making milestones
When doing BioSensor exercises tonight, I was surprised to see Black boy looking back at me - the first pup with its eyes open. With the black pups, you can't easily see the eyelids starting to crack open like we can with the yellow pups. I am expecting most of the other pups to open their eyes this weekend. The pups have all doubled their birthweights, most by 9-10 days of age which is excellent. The pups are fat little pupsters, gaining 2-3 oz per day, so Juliette is obviously producing lots of milk. Just a couple of days ago, I increased Juliette to 8 cups of kibble per day, much to her delight.
