Not that it matters how the puppy got on the floor, I just thought I would mention it. We had a hard time also, it was every night we'ld hear a baby crying. Sure enough one would be on the floor and she would be passed out on our bed. She just loves to sleep with us. What I did was build a little corral around the puppy box that was to high for her to get out of. She didn't like it but she got used to it. Then atleast while the puppies are very small that's where she belongs. She had freedom all day long to go wherever she likes. At night they should be with their babies when we can't keep an eye on them. These Ladies are just so spoiled by us that sometimes they forget they have responsibility now!

Thank you for yor response. I am sure she was actually moving the pup herself. She was in the bathroom with the puppies all night and in the morning she started barking. We walked her and then she wanted to jump in our bed so we let her. After a few minutes she heard the pups crying and she jumped off the bed, went in there, and then brought it back into our bedroom and put it down at the foot of the bed on the carpet while she tried to jump back into our bed.

What happens if during the day, while we have the bathroom open she and are cooking, eating, or anything, and she goes in there grabs a pup and takes it behind the TV or into the closet. Should I be allowing her to move the pups, or stop her and tell her NO?

One last thing, this morning around 5 a.m. I heard the babies crying and lied down the Mom and made sure I saw the pups eating. 3 out of 4 pups were interested and sucking away, but the 4th was not interested at all. Should I be concerned? He is not crying, is squirming with the other pups, and otherwise acting normal, but I hate not seeing one of the pups eating when the other 4 are.

Thanks for all your help!
