HAHA Stephen, that was awful and you beat me to it. :o)

That’s a nice box Jamie. I’ve never heard of the broomstick idea before but it sounds like a good idea. When my old dog had puppies, we used to blow up a kids paddling pool and put some newspaper in the bottom.

I counted twice and only came up with 5 pups, are the other two bashful? Great wood working project, now
are you going to build a pup door for the room when they get a little bigger, or just newpaper the entire floor?
Nothing like fresh puppie breath. Thank you for sharing.
