Day 61 (Updated)

Sapphire will be staying with us for about two more weeks.

Star Garnet is blissful about the idea that she still has a brother to chomp.

And to run from — none of the boys could keep up with her. Star Garnet is FAST.

Sapphire thinks sticks are an easier playmate than his wild sister.

But he is doing his best to represent the Boy Team 💙

Tommy Topaz and Jasper are both settling in nicely — that is such a relief for me. The Gems met A LOT of humans while they were here — about 100, I figured — and they visited new places as well and went on multiple car rides (safely in crates, of course). I feel really good about their socialization but you cannot replicate leaving home for a new life — all you can do is make sure the puppy is prepared and resilient. So far, so good 🙏

(Later)

Jasper is enjoying his new life 💙

Jasper and his Uncle Zuber — how cute is this?!

Jennifer reports that Tommy Topaz is also doing so well 🎉🙏

I have always wanted to do this — a daily photo of a puppy to watch the nose go from pink to black. I picked Sapphire because his nose was darkening the fastest, and made a video of 8+ weeks of daily photos 🎥

Whew! It feels good to get it finished 🙌🏼 Let me know what you think 😊
