Here is proud Papa… ready to help put together our whelping nest.

Honestly, I am still not certain we are expecting. Mama has been fussy about her food, and acting a bit different. But her body remains svelte.
Although I am preparing, I am not yet expecting. Having once lost a litter pending whelp, I am coming from a place intimately aware of the fragility of life and sometimes uncompromising hand of Mother Nature.
