ofspaceandboys:justslowdown:onto the final trimester. Callista has ballooned up over the last few days. she’s now eating twice as much! her tummy fur is shedding out, which happens so puppies can find teats easier and get a better latch. that pink belly skin isn’t normally visible. just a few more weeks!though she gets even clingier and more loving with her humans every passing day, she’s also starting to get sassy with the other dogs. just husky snark, nothing i’m worried about, but i’m glad the boys don’t escalate when she tells them off. they know she’s the queen. she usually rules gently and benevolently, but now everything has to be done her way. considering the whole “creating life” thing i’d say she deserves that, lolDo you have a whelping box/place set up yet? If you’re in a bind I find that the plastic kiddie pools with towels serves the purpose just fine. Keeping them in the main room of your house is also good because you can keep an eye on them and they get exposed to more things earlier. that’s this week’s big project. we have the wood and PVC already, and plans drawn up. i want it to be nice, since hopefully this won’t be the last litter born here <3 will post an update when it’s finished! -- source link
