Whelping box was removed 11/30, ....brave little climbers!                                        More space, more freedom. Mama Diva is free to go in and out of their space to care for them and instruct.  She teaches them good dog behavior.  We are teaching them and leading them in a solid human/canine relationship.

​The grey material is called vet fleecing(about 2" thick).  This helps pull moisture away from pups.  The light is a warming lamp(red).  Mama helps the pups empty their bowels and bladder by licking, this also helps keep them clean.  They cannot do this on their own at this age.  The first 2 weeks of life are critical, we watch them very closely 24/7.  They are all doing very well, gaining weight each day.  We are on the the 6th day of ENS.   Bedding is changed and washed multiple times a day.
