So the dog presently known as Happy (Neo/Nemo) was whining. She
wouldn't stop. She kept looking at us - back and forth between us,
whining. And, we realized, looking at the whelping box.

The cardboard barrier had moved and one of the pups was out and on the
floor. Asleep. So, Happy let us know something was amiss. Now, neither
of us is sure why she didn't just pick the puppy up and put her back in
the box for herself, but it's really nice to know that she obviously
thinks we're all in this together.

She's a good mom! She wanted your sympathy on how these brats are
treating her after all she's done for them: "I don't care if
Christmas is for families. I'm going out with my friends!"
