mother nature that I have today off!!?? :-(
It's cooled off nicely, but it's pouring rain. I hope it lightens up and stays a reasonable temperature.
The pups did pretty well last night. I let them outside one time during the night. It took Emma a few minutes to be quiet again after that, but otherwise they were quiet and no pee-pees in the crate. They woke up when Ben got up for work, so I let them out again then. Now Kit, "mama" Deal, and the 4 pups (Emma, Logan, Hattie, and McCoy) are on the big front porch staying pretty dry. Since she's allowed the 2 older pups to be with her babies her mama instincts must finally be wavering a bit- last week she would have never allowed them that close. (it was interesting to watch her when the pups first started spending some time with the pack. She would allow some dogs free access, closely watch others, and completely ban others from being within 30 feet of her treasures!) Mama Deal has been a baby sitter since the pups came to be. I've never seen a dog with such strong maternal instincts for any baby. She loves her grandbabies, but she also no push over. LOL!
