Pups are gaining really well and Mom has solid output. Usually they don't for days after delivery but Misty is a super dog. LOL
She has stopped growling at Sage. We are making progress. You see Sage kept going in to Misty's whelping box and cleaning up the pups, laying in her pen and trying to take over. Misty was not happy. Sage was even leaving her pups to irritate Misty. I finally said loudly ENOUGH Sage and she has not done it since and Misty is more relaxed. Sage is more relaxed too. I wonder what was going through Sage's mind. She took my pups or I want them too - they are all mine. I wish I could read dog's minds but it was irritating and a riot at the same time. I even put up blankets and closed the gate to give Misty some comfort and Sage took her mouth and pulled the blanket down. The games dogs will play.
I thought I was recovering but I feel exhausted. Juggling juggling but this too shall pass.
Pups are wonderful. Eating and sleeping and dreaming, I imagine!
