Another question. I was also wondering what most people use after whelping, or same box or what. I was going to use the bottom of a dog crate once she is all done and puppies are here. But I can't find it and just asking my husband and he threw it away! I'm just looking for ideas. I have some other ideas, but...want to see what most people do. This is my first litter. I am very excited and scared at the same time. Thanks!!
