Mango, Day 53 days (pre-parturition)
As we head into the home stretch, our beautiful girl is
losing her figure and the look on her face tells us she knows it! Mango is
slowing down and prefers to observe her canine playmates rather than
participate in play.

There isn’t much room for food in Mango’s tummy these days.
The puppies have grown so much that we are feeding her smaller meals throughout
the day. She is rather picky in the mornings, but we can usually entice her to
eat by adding some roast chicken to her breakfast.
This past week, we set up the whelping box for her to get
used to, however it seems that everyone has tried it out with the exception of
Mango. She is still determined to have her babies outside under a spruce tree
she has chosen!
We are just trying to make these last ten days as comfortable
and stress free as possible for Mango. She will continue to have light activity
and of course, carry her ball in her mouth just in case we can play a little
game of retrieving.
Stay tuned ……
