"H" Litter

I am so excited to pick up Helper in the morning I can not sleep.  So I decided to show you a picture of  Helper's litter mates.  They are just too cute!  All of CCI's litters are assigned a letter of the alphabet when they are born.  CCI then names the dogs using names that start with the letter of the litter.  This litter is the "H" litter born on January 5, 2012.  They were turned in to CCI yesterday.

This was Oribel's first litter and she produced 8 wonderful puppies that hopefully will go on to be service dogs, facility dogs, skilled companions or hearing dogs for people in need.  In the pictures below of the nursing puppies, Helper is the puppy on the far right with the dark green ribbon.  The puppies are all so young that their eyes are still closed.  Many thanks to the Poole family (Oribel's Breeder Caretaker) who took these pictures!
