How true this is! With our last litter, a couple were born so close together I actually lost count(she had six). After all were delivered and clean bedding put in, we luckily heard a puppy crying in the dirty laundry. One had gotten lost in there. I feel so lucky that we heard him crying, he surely would have died if we had taken the laundry down to our cold dark basement laundry room! Better believe I will be checking more careful next time!!
