When the littlest boy who is actually on an equal comparison track with the Misty gal walks up to you as you lay in the xpen and wags his tail - let me tell you that your heart melts. He gets so excited to see me now. I wish I could lay in there all day long. No matter what your day is like, that experience makes you forget!
They are all curious and often look at the others through the bars. When they reach 3 weeks old, I am considering placing them all together but that makes feeding difficult. We have done this before where Dennis takes 2 beds side by side and puts each mom in each bed along with their pups. I need to get another bed as our other ones were sad representations of dog beds so all we are left with is one large one. It also has to be washable. But feeding moms that way is short lived as then they start eating food and you do not have to be so concerned with feedings as much as when they are only on mom's milk. But we have 2 more litters coming so...
