Sorry to be posting already with questions but I need some advise. As you all may have read Shelbie had puppies (5) on Feb 10th. I have a heating pad on the bottom of her box with a towel over it. Well the question is why in the world does Shelbie keep taking it out. She will work and work till she gets it uncovered and then climbs out of her box and pulls and pulls till she gets it over the edge. Everytime she does this it upsets the puppies. They will be sleeping soundly and then she starts in. Is there a reason she keeps doing this? The heating pad is only on warm so I know it's not getting to warm. I even went and bought another one thinking that there was something maybe wrong with the other one. She does it with both.

Question #2 is Shelbie is eating very well since having her puppies, I am cooking her meals. Chicken,Cottage Cheese, Eggs and basically anything I think is good for her. Problem is she now will not touch her puppy foood that the Vet recommended for good milk production. Should I continue cooking for her while she is nursing? She is still very thin to me. Thanks for any help or suggestions!!
