I planned on sleeping right by the whelping box for a few nights. I made one. I was so tired I started getting a migrane - being sick before whelping doesn't help. I HAD to go to bed. When Zena had to go potty she would come pounce me to get me to stay with her babies. She would come back and count puppies, lay down and tell me I could go back to bed. I LOVE HER! :) Alycia ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
