As a result, I didn’t get the whelping box built. I will be building it in the next few hours.

Meanwhile, back at Greystar Kennels, I will be preparing the kennel for mama dog’s arrival.  This includes building a whelping box.  I’ve decided to go big – 6′x6′ – to ensure maximum comfort.  We have a couple of baby pools that we could have used, I suppose, but it’s worth a little money and labor to make sure it’s done right.  I will be taking photos so I can post a full pictorial update.

Stay tuned…
