Whelping box life is getting more active and noisy. Intermittent play... is followed by eating at Cedar's milk bar and (in) the trough..
and clean-up afterward.
The whelping box itself also a needs post meal clean-up. The pups are removed to a basket while all linens are replaced and walls washed of sticky footprints.
Aunt McKenzie had her nose full keeping the active pups in the basket while I cleaned.
The two hour cycle is completed with a nap...
and an exhausted Cedar.
