Having twin litters is a lot of work but the worst part is the HEAT!!!!

Newborn puppies cannot regulate their body temperature and so need the ambient temperature to be way higher than this human is comfortable. I am currently wearing shorts and a tee-shirt because having the temperature be close to 80 is my idea of a hot summer day.

Staying well-hydrated is one of our daily challenges — for the nursing moms AND the sweating humans.

The Bright Stars had a puppy confab…
They apparently decided two things. First, they decided it was time to open their eyes…

Second, they decided it was time to start planning their escape — they sent Heze to do reconnaissance…

Uh Oh.
Eyes open over a period of days, and once open the vision is not clear for some unknown amount of days. But they definitely can see light and dark and shapes, and we are careful about startling them.

Rosebud was concerned that someone had lost a collar…
She took it to Daisy to see if perhaps Arche was missing his lime green collar. But Arche has his collar and so Rosebud deduced it must be Sun’s collar and no way was she taking it over to Claire — so she decided to leave the collar with the Moonshadows and just take a nap.
The Bright Stars agreed that taking a nap was a Bright Idea and so they did…
…minus one lime green collar. Luckily, Sun has a Swiss kiss and so is easily identifiable.
Have a cool day!
