What would happen if you got a plastic Rubber Made bin and put it on the couch...do you think she would stay in the bin with the babies? |
Yes thats what I tried first. I placed an open topped storage container on the couch but it was a no-go. She still moved them onto the couch beside the container. So thats when I tried it her way. Everything has been fine ever since. A little background on me that might be of interest is that I am a stay @ home & homeschooling Momma. I knew "about" when she would have the pups and had planned to stay at home the entire first week. To be honest I have not left the house since the pups were born unless I was taking them and Momma to the vet. So to say that I put her on the couch and gave her her way is to an extent true but I am never more than a few feet away and at all time listening and willing to help if need be. I do not want her toting them around but dont interfere with her nosing them around to get them close to her or out of harms way. She has truly surprised me by being extremely concerned of the pups.
