GROWING OUT OF OUR HOME..

When babies are born,
they live in a whelping box
with their Mom
until their eyes are open
and they are walking around.

When Mom has to clean their whelping box
(usually at this stage, it's twice a day)
she finds another box to put them in.

This time it was a
Coca-Cola box.
She put a nice soft towel
in the bottom
and then lined it with a fleece blanket.
When the puppies leave us,
they will get to take
one of these fleece blankets
home with them so they
will have the smell of their litter
to comfort them for a night or two.

But they are growing so fast
that Mom thinks that soon
she'll have to
"break out the basket"
because her Coca-Cola box
will not hold them too many more days!!

Look at Mr. Brodie -
already over a pound -
and by tomorrow,
we feel that the rest of the puppies
will join him!!

Here is Miss Iverness.
Mom caught her sitting down
but as soon as she saw Mom,
she leaped up
and started running toward her.
It's like we've told you before -
Ivy sits still for no woman's camera!!
