Whelping pool

Today we introduced Della to her whelping pool. This is your basic round kiddie pool with some blankets inside for comfort. When she actually whelps we'll replace the blankets with newpaper for easier clean-up. She really didn't know what to make of it at first. Because it wasn't full of water, the bottom moved up and down when she put her front feet in and she stood for the longest time with her front feet in and one back leg raised trying to decide if this was a good idea or not. We coaxed her in with some treats and then got her to lie down and gave her a good belly rub. Now she thinks the pool is a fine place!!

Also finally got Dave to go shopping for the lumber for the puppy pen. Now if I can only get him to build it!! :0) My teenage daughter says if he won't she will......
