They are like small works of art.

Capella continues to do very well. She is relaxed and happy. Here she has Star Garnet on her right leg and Topaz on the left. Puppies love to drape!

(Later in the Day)
The puppies had visitors — Kira and her husband, Jay, stopped by ❤️ I did not get photos — darn it! After getting a puppy fix, Kira and Jay then ran around sending off various puppy DNA swabs — Fed Ex for the France samples and the post office for the AKC DNA test kits. Much gratitude to them 🙏
Can you believe that the France samples will arrive in just two days?! That is faster than if I mailed a letter to Utah!
These puppies are so charming and beautiful! And small — look at Jasper’s tiny paw compared to Capella’s paw.
Doesn’t Capella look so proud and happy?!
Six Days Old — Puppy Pile!
Sapphire — love his ears in this photo.
Topaz is super sweet and loves to be in Capella’s fur or on her leg.
This is Sapphire and Star Garnet — and check out the beautiful whelping box!!! The rails are hickory and the sides are Sapele, an African hardwood. It was a team effort, but special thanks to the Team Captain, Logan (Bright Star Atlas’s human brother).
This is Jasper. And yes — I know. It is an epic photo.
He was taking a 30-minute solo nap to make sure his DNA did not get mixed up with his littermates (or mom) before I swabbed his cheek, and I looked over to see him doing that. SO CUTE.
Star Garnet is also super cute, but not quite as Zen in her poses.
This is Sapphire.
Thanks for following along with us ❤️
