The Moonshadows were — well — MOONED!!
Thank you, Anonymous Friend, for mooning the Moonshadows and making us all smile :)
Pozy, exercising her prerogative as the Big Sister, promptly stole one…
This seems like an opportune time to apologize to my Perfect Sister for stealing her clothes — except I might not be sorry for stealing the Good and Plenty shirt because I really did love that one.
Sometimes I cannot tell which puppy is in a photo — I take hundreds of photos each day and sometimes forget to also get the collar. And so the above is a mystery but below is Ariel.
Titan continues to grow into his mighty self…
Hunter doesn’t really need a collar — he arrived with his own flashy white bling…
Buck is in the green and black collar.
My daughter called this morning and wanted to know where the present from Nova Sr. was and I explained that I was late in posting since my daughter called to chat. Dear Daughter is not the only one awaiting the big reveal.
Puppy Nova is named for a Bright Star human, Nova, who lives in Minnesota, as I have explained before; human Nova is now known as Nova Sr. since she was the original Nova in the family.
Nova Sr. is known far and wide. Toby, who lives in Pennsylvania, has a friend who teaches an online tricks class. The friend/trainer told her class about the twenty Berner puppies (ahem — ten plus ten!) and long/funny story short — imagine the trainer’s surprise when she learned that one of the ten plus ten puppies is named after her student, Nova! Small world indeed.
Kris O. is also involved with Nova Sr. and will be doing agility lessons with Nova Sr. and her puppy, Hattie, who is a cousin to the Bright Stars.
So, Nova Sr. got a Bright Idea and TA DA!!!!
That is Nova Jr. on the teeter made and sent by Nova Sr.! Isn’t that amazing!? I am telling you — that girl is going places, and when she gets there she can team up with the girls who live with Wildflower, Lucy, who send me the best videos! I want to hold a Camp just for all the great kids in our community right now. But I digress…
Nova Sr. and her family need to do consultation for IKEA because their assembly instructions were fantastic — I had it together in no time at all. In fact, I think it took longer to get it out of the packaging than it did to assemble.
The new teeter offers a lovely object lesson. When training puppies and dogs (and humans), we must break things down into manageable pieces. So the end goal is the whole teeter experience but we will start with teeter as a tippy board — all agility peeps know that this is an ideal first step in training a teeter.
Nova Jr.
So much gratitude to Nova Sr. (and her parents) for helping with enrichment for the ten plus ten puppies so they can grow up to be as amazing as Nova Sr. (aka Super Nova). Some agility peeps back east are — no doubt — thrilled to see a teeter with their future puppies at such young ages.

It is agility day for the Bright Stars — Rosebud is helping out with the training.
Two new milestones for the Bright Stars — teeth are emerging and tails are starting to wag in a social way. SO CUTE.

Puppy eyes all start off looking blue-gray — this is Orion…

I hope your day makes someone as happy as Nova Sr. made ours!
