As I mentioned yesterday, we made some changes around here.
We created a large puppy playroom out of our living room. In one corner is a Moonshadow bedroom that is collapsed in the daytime to give more space.

The Bright Stars will keep their bedroom (aka the dining room) but during the daytime, the Moonshadows will move into it as their play area. It is a good-sized space for their size right now.

In a week or so they can all play together and/or they can take turns in the playroom. This new system should provide space and variety for all of the puppies.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate and in early March we can add some outside time as well.
Because the spaces are new to the puppies, the things in the spaces are not. We do not want to overload the babies with novelty but rather provide a manageable amount of new to push the confidence envelope bit by bit.
Nova and Miss Piggy
As I also mentioned recently, we can begin to see the structure of the puppies at this age — here are two shots of Orion…
I just saw trotting in the new playroom — that is also a new skill, and that space allows them to practice it.
FUN!
I hope your day also has both novelty and fun.
P.S. OOPS! I forgot to post this video I did this morning so you can see how things look now — hope you like NPR!
