Thank you - yes - I also told them about this ...and after Robbies very sad experience with her mommy - I told them Ray Ray needed a vet check to asap...my neighbors were worried because they did think dogs always have lots of puppies and there was only 3.
The puppies were in good porportion to the mom in my 'humble' opinion - very small...I was expecting these huge puppies when I found out she had babies today.
Problem is she's being so protective of her babies ..they're a little worried about touching her right now - it was VERY hard to get her into her little whelping box we made her.....and of course I can't get the little lost baby off my mind.
