This morning I heard what I thought was distant neighbor dog barking. Nope — it was SAPPHIRE!!!! He was doing little tiny baby puppy barks 💙 SO CUTE.
Star Garnet is a bit of a busybody these days — this is her with Capella.
I think Topaz takes striking photos 💙
This tangle of puppies makes me laugh 😂
And Jasper continues to dream of his escape.
Today’s adventures will include their first outside outing. Novel is important to normal puppy development but too much generates stress, which I want to avoid. It is not unlike training a dog — you want to focus on one new variable at a time.

Therefore, puppies will be outside but with their mom and one of the usual fleeces under them so the novel part — being outdoors — is well supported by familiar.
It should be fun 🎉

(Later)
The puppies had three visitors today — Cindy, Kira, and Adeline (seen here with Jasper).
Thanks for visiting, Adeline 🩷
They helped transport puppies for the first outside outing — it was easy and uneventful. Something interesting — it turns out Jasper is a bit of a poser.
Siblings off in every direction but not Jasper — he just sat there like a handsome little statue. I think he was practicing for the red carpet.
Star Garnet, not to be outdone by her brother, decided she could pose as well. So they both posed!

While we were outside, KaiBob was dealing with a situation.
“I have a baaaaad feeling about this,” he said to himself.
Yes, the Gems got flocked.
Thank you, Auntie Barbz
Poor KaiBob! He was outnumbered.
The four KaiBabz just trotted right on in like they owned the place.
I think they might be fainting sheep.
They have no sense of personal space! What the heck, KaiBabz — were you raised in a barn?!
KaiBob was worried that he would be put out to pasture now that the glam lambz are in town. Nonsense, KaiBob! Loyalty is a virtue that matters.

And there is room in our whelping box for old friends and new friends ❤️
