Dam walking to eat. Pups laying in the whelping box

The dam getting something to eat after four of her pups are born. She still has one puppy inside that she needs to deliver. Often the dam will eat and drink when she is almost finished having her babies. Some mothers wait till all of the pups are delivered. Most dams will want water between delivering the puppies.
