HUFT Tip: Doggie mothers (much like their wild counterparts) choose a secluded spot to give birth and rear their young. Too much light and activity could make your dog feel like the space is unsafe and try to more her pups. Take care to pick a quiet spot in your house to make a space for mom and pups.
