We are getting ready for puppies. We are expecting them anytime from tonight through Friday night. The family has all placed our bets. Sam and I built a new whelping box. He was a big help this time around building it. Once we got it done and placed in the house, the first thing he did was curl up in it and say, “Dad, I could sleep here with Allie.”
This time around, rather than using contact paper for the floor, I found 12″ vinyl tiles 4 for a dollar; so $4 covered the 4’x4′ whelping box. Another change I made this time around is made the sides 24″ high rather than 18″. We’ll see how that goes. Right now, visually I prefer the shorter (18″) sides. We have 2×4 bumber rails ready once the puppies are born. Now the waiting part.
