Be sure to check the gallery on Sage's blog and check out the videos.
Looks like tonight we are setting up the xpen upstairs and pups will be upstairs with a camera that I can watch and listen to them. Nathan and Dennis will sleep and I will watch. That's me. For the 1st time they will not have moms.
It becomes 2 pens to clean. It means more laundry and flooring to clean - pads etc. It also means that we take the dogs down to go outside. Before they are fed, we have to have both moms feed the pups. They will be engorged and uncomfortable.
Why do we do this? The goal is to get them to sleep during the night. We want the to eat more food and be a bit independent from moms so they can go home to you without doing that process at your home.
I will take videos and in the morning we will tell you how it goes. I will upload the videos of the area tonight - well a few but the gallery won't go up till tomorrow.
I will let you know how they did. I suspect they will be fine. We shall see.
