As Willow is due Tuesday on, we needed to get her area setup. It has been an oh oh moment. I laugh about this. We have never had the need for 4 whelping boxes. We have 3. Nor do we really have room for 4 and still give Dennis a chair. Can you imagine standing all night? So, here is what we came up with.
We usually do not take the pups out of a whelping box till their eyes open. But their eyes are going to open really soon as they have slits and are starting to get up on their feet. So, when Dennis looked around the house for a non existent whelping box, we decided to reduce their area so pups can find mom and take them out of the whelping box. First thing out of Nathan's mouth is why didn't you know this? I said gee why didn't you know this?
As their eyes are not open, they had no reaction. Their eyes will open and it will be as if they were in this area all along. I already took a video which I will be uploading where the pups found mom easily so it is the right size at this age.
But there is 5 of them. So, when they start really walking and playing, we will place Spirits 2 in this area and put the 5 in the larger area till we can combine the pups. I can't imagine pups all together yet nor you trying to figure out who is who. I will know as I spend so much time with them.
Good old Nathan saying Ella will never get pregnant. Well, she hadn't each breeding as she doesn't like the deed to be honest. So, I have to give this to Nathan as I also believed yeah one connection - what are the odds. Well, never say never and we are now at this point of making decisions based on what we have. I don't want to have 4 litters at once in the future so I am not going to fed ex a whelping box here and besides it wouldn't arrive on time as most are in the states.
This is a good solution and it works though we are still setting up Willows areas as I am washing the rugs that go on the base. Hopefully it will be done by tonight. We shall see.

I know you'll all figure this out in the end, and your solution seems not bad at all.
Poor Dennis with the migraines, hope he is drinking enough liquids, that might help, or probably it's his lack of sleep which is the culprit and the switching of sleep cycles.
He always gets migraines from various things but lack of sleep is an issue right now.
