The day started, as usual, with the outside-the-box nursing — these session have stretched out to a couple of hours. They nurse and play a bit and sleep and nurse some more, and Daisy seems perfectly happy with this arrangement.
Novel today — a box. That is Mariposa.
The Wildflowers LOVE the floor chair — as do I. This is Sage.
Mariposa.

I did a Zoom session while they enjoyed themselves and by the end, it looked like this…
I weighed them all and then back to the whelping box. Maybe if Sage spent less time on the floor chair, he would not have lost his title — the new Heavyweight Champion of the Whelping Box is Lupine at 3.52 pounds! Yep — she a wee bit round. That is her on top.
Do not let these innocent faces fool you — the puppies have been plotting. They consulted with Bob and devised their plan…
Implementation of the plan commenced promptly…
They are done with the whelping box and want OUT!
I draped the blanket to perhaps discourage climbing and to add a soft landing on the other side. Let’s just say they are not getting 10’s for their dismounts.
Back to plotting.
However, we listen in responsive ways to puppy protesters and so today is moving day! No more whelping box for the Wildflowers — they are ready to transplant.
Video and photos later — in the meantime, have a Happy Sunday!

The move went well — puppies were a bit anxious about all the space at first but with Daisy hanging with them and all the familiar smells and things, they adjusted quickly. We will be adding FUN to the space tomorrow!
Good Night, Friends!
