She's in a box lined with clean towels. She moves the towels around however she wants them but the ones in the bottom stays there all the time. There's just a few extra ones to help keep the babies warm. The front of the box is open on top and halfway down the front but I have a towel clothespinned over the top to keep out any drafts. I just take it off when I change the towels out or to check on everybody. Most of the time she stays curled up around the babies. My home is not that cool (trying to save on ac until it gets really warm) but still comfortable I believe, not too warm. They have all been in her fleece dogbed a couple of times also but when that happens the puppies don't stay right up under her all the time. They will lay away from her more and snuggle against the sides when they sleep. I guess because it's so soft but she pants regardless of where she is. At least her temp is normal so that's good. |
