We're Expecting. . .

. . . puppies, that is! Ellie May is due to have them the first week in January. We (well, most of us!) are pretty excited about that. We have been busy trying to figure out where we are going to have the whelping box. We decided to put it under the basement steps because it is right by the chimney (which is warm) and is a closed-in area the perfect size for mom and pups. We are currently laying some linoleum and making some sort of bedding box for them. Poor Odie, he will have to learn to live as a bachelor for a few weeks while Ellie is in the house with the pups.
