Day 5

This morning Cedar spent a good deal of energy looking for the missing pups. She awoke me early and practically drug me to the whelping box. Seeing nothing amiss, I thought she was hungry but, she ignored her kibble until it was mixed with ice cream. When I changed from the St. Pats green blanket to a plain one, she panicked. I had to lay it out flat on the floor to show her that no pups were in it. She then attacked the new bedding to see if they were under it. She insisted on going outside to check her hiding places. She carefully counted each pup whenever she returned to the whelping box.

By this afternoon she was able to relax with her family. She even went out side for a quick game of Chinook tag with McKenzie and Willy.

day is done - sleep tight
