Litter box introduction

At three to four weeks, we change the configuration of the whelping box and add a section for litter box training. The whelping box is now a weaning box. In a few more weeks, we'll add a crate to the box to start the puppies getting used to sleeping in a crate.

Magic is beginning to spend less time with her puppies. She is in and out of the box frequently checking on them, but she is also enjoying her time away from them--sleeping in her favorite spot at my feet as I work at my desk. If they make a squeak, though, she rockets down the hall to check on them!
