I’m a lucky girl in that my husband built a very nice dog kennel for me.  We have moved Belle’s puppies out to the kennel and they are doing great.  Of course they stayed inside the house in the whelping box until they were 5 weeks old because I couldn’t trust the weather around here.  I actually missed waking up to little barks this morning!  They are on are on solid foods and we have been potty training them – using they potty pads and moving it to a “more desirable” place is the best way to go.  They are learning the “potty spot” in kennel.

These are last year’s pups but you get idea of how nice the kennel is.
