Diva handled her pregnancy with dignity and poise, but when things got a bit mucky and untidy, she was not impressed with all that green goo.

"If you think I'm cleaning that up well think again., you're the midwife!"

After the first couple of puppies she figured that motherhood wasn't so bad after all.

Diva has had her toy sheep since she was a puppy of a few weeks old.

"Sheepy" has accompanied Diva where ever she goes and the whelping box was no exception. At first she would have liked to only have given birth to sheepy and nothing else, finally she was encouraged to push and have her own little family, of which "sheepy" could also be a part of.
