Happy Heavenly Birthday to Abra 🌈🎂
It has been 28 years since she was born and started my little family of Berners. The family tree back to Abra goes like this: Abra —> Halo —> Zoey —> Sparkle —> Claire —> Capella —> GEMS 💎💎💎💎
I am so grateful to Eden Jonas for trusting me with my wonderful, smart, beautiful Abra 🙏

Camp Puppy is now in session until Sunday night. The Campers and I started by having a meeting to establish our Camp Puppy rules. Here are the rules they set for Camp Puppy:
There is LOTS of puppy biting going on but it doesn’t hurt just yet. I have instructed the kids that when it does hurt, which could be in 12 minutes the way puppies grow and change, they are to communicate that the bite was too hard — like a yip or a genuine OW! They have also been instructed to offer a substitute if they do not want to be nibbled on.

Puppies MUST bite and chew, and it is not fair to try and stop them. The goal is to help them develop bite inhibition — in other words, to teach them to moderate the pressure they use when they bite. We do this by communicating when the bite hurts — and we do this verbally by making a hurty noise, and physically by removing ourselves. This is what littermates do.
