Wasabi had her first experience without the pups and she acted okay. The pups went to get their hearing test without her.

When they returned she did stand on guard but she is starting to make the moves of - 'they are flying the coop' soon. They know and she will be fine.

Wasabi is an excellent Mom and tends to truly enjoy motherhood. As she will be bred next heat, she will have that experience again soon and wil relish it.

Her only fault is teaching the little ones her fun and games such as going behind the pool house - through the plants and under the deck. But Wasabi - her care free attitude and her way agile body - well she's a special gal.

I expect her to be enjoying long walks with her human mom while they both get into shape - her for another pregnancy and the human mom - just because it is overdue. Then the white stuff hits and paths will be made and all sorts of fun begins and hopefully we will be able to get some of her pups back for a play session or two through those white paths we dig out.
