Daisy is pretty convinced the hole in the yard is the place to have her babies — she even helpfully enlarged it to make space for her impending brood. Given her misguided notions about what constitutes an appropriate birthing suite, she is always accompanied when outside.

Luckily, Daisy is a cooperative sort of girl — and considerate. I slept all night (until 4:00 a.m.) and now Daisy is no doubt making sure Suzanne gets to sleep in before the birthday party begins.
