Happy Belated Birthday!

Yesterday, the 9th, Belle turned 2 years old and got to celebrate by being in the box with her 9 little ones:)  Everyone is doing so great and all the puppies are gaining weight and thriving.  Their dew claws were removed today and the vet was happy to see that all the puppies made it to their 3rd day.  He also said something about Belle being one of the sweetest (or maybe the best, I wasn't there...) Golden Retrievers he's ever met.  Makes me smile to think about what great additions these puppies are going to be for their new families.  After all, they came from the best, right?  :)  Sorry no pictures...it's been a busy day and I just wanted to give you all an update.  I will say that they are getting cuter and cuter every day.  Noticed today that their fur is getting softer, the bottom of their paws are getting black and their noses are getting color too.  Some have their own personality already too...so fun!
