Jingle, the evening of the whelping and before we resorted to returning her to her crate
because of the noise she was making.  Singers, given the choice, would rather be left to their
own den-making skills and just dig a hole in the ground for her litter.  But, you see, it came
down to being a choice of wills, hers or ours.  Funny, but ours won and she ended up seeing it
our way and used my handy dandy whelping box.
