Update on Nellie's pups.

Sorry I was only able to get an angle on one set of 'surgical' pups.  :+(

They are doing very well. Although they do spend some time in the individual crates, they also get combined with Tate's litter in their pen to say 'Hello' and have some social time. I do let them all out together at times but have prevented them from going into the puppy play area. They have a couple of pens to move about in. This is to curtail the 'patients' from lots of running and jumping. I can never prevent every pup from getting rambunctious after surgery though - they feel too good!

Nellie's pups are placed in the crates all night in the hope that it will be a good start to crate training for you when they go home. I am sure to let all of them out to potty around 10 pm and then Tate's litter is in the communal pen; and Nellie's are given a tiny treat and placed in the crates. I usually hear about 15 minutes of complaining and then peace. Don't expect miracles when you get your pup, but it should not be too bad with this introduction.
