They were really going to have another litter? After the better success with the second he certainly didn't fear that perhaps there would be a repeat performance of the drama that they'd had with the first, the two had learnt a lot since those early mistakes in parenthood and he had the confidence that their acquired skills had remained and this third litter would hopefully receive a lot of care and attention from the rest of the family around them as well.
All the same however the news was certainly shocking though and he would be stunned for a moment, a happy silence overwhelming him not daring to think of any worries. Another litter now was surprising though he was still happy by the news, he would soon be a proud father once more. "That's a wonderful secret, though I'm not sure I can keep it to myself for too long." The man would respond cheerily, leaning forwards once more to nuzzle his mate lovingly.
