Stor playing with Niknak, who plays nursemaid to the babies :)
Stor says, "What was I thinking?! I'm about a week out and have no where to have these pups!" So we have begun excavating her dens. She liked one from last time, and this other one is a new spot.... good times. What causes them to dig is the beginning of Braxton Hicks, slight contractions that sends out hormones and so she feels the need to dig. I let her do this (though it's not great for the garden!) because it's a biological need and it helps her to feel more relaxed. We shouldn't actually have any pups in there, when the time comes they are quite happy to settle in their whelping box :)
You see nothing. There is no den here...
Yup.. I liked this spot last time, too!
