Day 17

This morning I heard what I thought was distant neighbor dog barking. Nope β€” it was SAPPHIRE!!!! He was doing little tiny baby puppy barks πŸ’™ SO CUTE.

Star Garnet is a bit of a busybody these days β€” this is her with Capella.

I think Topaz takes striking photos πŸ’™

This tangle of puppies makes me laugh πŸ˜‚

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 β€” 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 β€” being outdoors β€” is well supported by familiar.

It should be fun πŸŽ‰
