Day 38 (Updated)

Jennifer and her daughter were here again this morning β€” they stayed overnight in Boise to do some important shopping πŸ‘°πŸ»

We ❀️ visitors!

There is less than half of a second between the next two shots.

Capella loves playing with her puppies. She also really loves the play set and is glad I bought it for her πŸ˜‚ πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

The puppies think Capella is a fun play set and enjoy climbing over her β€” this is Topaz.

Sapphire.

I had to create a safe β€œoff ramp” because the puppies think the ramp is for babies now.

Star Garnet.

Capella and Jasper β€” he loves balls!

Star Garnet also likes balls β€” this is her with Capella and Jasper.

Remember how I described Jasper has having the Puppy β€œIt” Factor? This is what it looks like…

Good looks, to be sure, but also a certain je ne sais quoi, which he has in spades.

(Later)

I turned on the sprinkler for this evening’s outside play and it was so fun to watch the puppies try to figure out the water.

I noticed in this evening’s photos that we are seeing the ears getting bigger, and developing the pretty puppy waves. This is Star Garnet.

The next two photos are Sapphire.

Topaz β€” look at his cute ear.

Some photos hit all the feels β€” like this one. Star Garnet and Capella.

Just a few pics from this morning β€” the Gems are getting ready for a fun day of visitors!

Jasper was first carrying around a ball and then he found a cool stick.

A belated Happy Birthday to the Gems’ maternal grandfather, Ferguson, who was seven yesterday πŸŽ‚πŸ₯³ And CONGRATULATIONS to the Gems’ Uncle Bright Star Zuber who got his second major towards his CH today β€” a five-point major, to boot!

So many reasons to celebrate πŸŽ‰

(Later)

Morning visitors included Cindy plus three new people for the Gems, including two kids 🩷

We all enjoyed Jasper running around with his ball!

The afternoon included Jennifer and her daughter, and then Berkeley and Lincoln arrived. I am so grateful to everyone who is helping to socialize the Gems πŸ™

The splash pad is a definite winner for kids and puppies.

Day 36 & Guess the Dad(s) & UPDATED

A miracle happened last night! We all slept through the night!!!!! πŸ₯³ What good puppies ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Their five-weeks-old party continued this morning.

Topaz

SOMEONE had way too much fun in the new structure. I can’t believe she fit β€” and kudos to Star Garnet. Would you head down the little tunnel with that in it?!

Star Garnet

Fight Club.

Jasper.

Topaz is quite brave in a rather unassuming way. He just marched right on in the new play set β€” no fuss, no drama.

Sapphire.

The puppies enjoy choking themselves with grass. This is Star Garnet.

Besides from the grass, they are still only fed by Capella.

Topaz was chilling in the grass…

Topaz

…and then there was a sneak attack by Jasper.

Capella and Sapphire πŸ’™

They are so cute right now I can hardly stand it! This is Jasper.
