How the puppies arrange and re-arrange themselves in the warming box used when need to change whelping bed .
Meal time with a nice line up of pups in a row. This nice line up does not last long with all pups deciding to change their nipples. As soon as one pup moves a chain reaction starts with all pups moving in all directions to secure the next nipple. One chaotic moment then all is calm again with pups on their selected nipples.
In a row then two pups decide to dive under for a fresher nipple

A place of refuge. No one will crawl or ly on top of me
|With puppies it is quite acceptable to ly on you brother or sister
This boy was trying to right him self after rolling over into a corner of the whelping box.
Along comes pink girl who decides to crawl over top of him.
She just keeps on crawling over him til the space was open to continue her movement under the pig rails.
And off pink girl goes continuing her journey around the whelping box.No obstacle stops this girl!
Pup appear quite social despite being blind/deaf with only their acute sense of smell to guide them.
The two girls sharing a meal together, side by side.
The next series of pictures with pups in warming box show how the pups love to curl over, under and around each other in kind of a pretzel fashion
The end of the movement.....all that work, contortions...now rest
Pink girl's tail caught my attention.
