Day 22: Back in the Laundry Business (Updated)

The new washer and dryer arrived this morning — thank goodness! Guess what I will be doing all day?!

While the new appliances were being installed, the puppies and Capella listened to NPR on the deck.

I have a good-sized covered deck — it was one of the things I REALLY wanted in my new house and it is perfect for puppies.

I will widen their outdoor space to include some of the yard when they are four weeks old but for now, the deck is a perfect size for them.

Of course, they are never relegated outside by themselves — I am always close by.

Sapphire

Outside is where they go to have fun and play but they live in the house. That is true for the entire time they are here with me.

Star Garnet

Familiar things and their mom have made outside easy and comfortable ❤️

It is amazing how much puppies change. Cindy noted that they were changed even in just two days, and she is right. I sometimes see it in the space of a day.

The kids were in Oregon for a few days but are now back — they are excited to resume Camp Puppy later today. Kira and Jay, also regular puppy visitors, were gone for a few days as well and will see the Gems today. They are all going to be so amazed!

(Later)

The puppies had another busy day. Kira and Jay visited them, and yes, Kira was amazed at how much the puppies changed since Saturday when she last saw them.

Camp Puppy is a big hit for all concerned. This is Berkeley and Sapphire.

Lincoln and Star Garnet.

The puppies are still struggling to understand this whole water thing.

Something new — a wobble board!

Lincoln was an excellent coach and cheerleader for the puppies as they mastered the wobble board.

Another precious day with the Gems 💎💎💎💎
