<< Phyllis twisted my arm so much I finally bought a whelping nest for my last

puppies, but once they were born I took the papers out and they stayed on the
plain plastic surface. I've never had such a contented litter, mom and pups.

Yes I did Joanne, and I twisted Judi's also, but she is too far away for me
to go over and make sure she uses it. I don't know why anyone sees the need
for any incontinent pads. The underside is plastic and there is always a
risk of a puppy getting underneath and not being able to breathe. It is not
thick like the vetbed and certainly capable of slipping around. The reason I
use the puppy wee wee pads as soon as they start to walk is so they learn
that the world is not their bathroom and they have to walk over to the tray
(with the pad totally taped to the bottom) and get the idea that there is a
place to pee and a nice clean place that they sleep and play in.
I am certainly one of those strange owners who thinks that I know EXACTLY
what my dogs are thinking. So trust me, they are very happy on the bare nest
with no extra padding.
