Weigh in

During St. Patrick's day, the pups ate their fill and traveled the length and breath of the whelping box. Some sung displeasure at being touched all over and laid on their backs. All sung delight at finding an unattended nourishing nipple. They tolerated, to a degree, leaving the warmth of Cedar for the confining cold of the scale.

all pups are now back close to their birth weight
The UPS truck brought us a wonderful surprise. Laura Holoman, who owns BrownStone Nala, sent us whelping and puppy supplies (not late, the pups came a bit early) and a large stash of TP tubes. TP tubes are my favorite puppy play toy. They love to roll and chew on them, crawl on and fight over them. Inevitably everything in the puppy area also get peed and pooped on. No biggy. With TP tubes. just toss the soiled ones and toss in the new.
the end of an exhausting day
