The Expansion of Rosebud's Venture (Updated - twice)

Rosebud checked in with her customers to see how they like their new collars…

She also delivered the rest of the Bright Star collars and now all ten have a fancy new collar from Rosebud’s Puppy Collars (and cat toys).

Rosebud is a stickler for details. She thought Sun’s collar was too close to Capella’s yellow and so she had her production team (aka Night Shift Puppy Nanny) make a new one for Sun in a more true lime green…

After assuring their complete satisfaction, Rosebud asked the Bright Stars to consider posting a Whelp review. They were happy to give Rosebud’s Puppy Collars (and cat toys) a ten bright star rating (out of five).

Armed with this evidence of satisfaction, she headed over to the Moonshadows. She decided on a divide and conquer marketing strategy, and started with Neil.

“Rosebud’s Puppy Collars (and cat toys) have a ten bright star rating on Whelp and your satisfaction is guaranteed,” she informed Neil.

“Just try it on — it is so comfortable,” she continued, hoping he did not wonder why she was not wearing one of these amazing ten bright star rated comfortable collars. “It is very simple.”

So distracted by the old collar (now cat toy), Rosebud forget to tell Neil how great his new collar looked but he is a smart boy and knows a good thing when he wears one…

Rosebud won the entire Moonshadow litter over with a well-worn sales technique — she told them that all the cool pups wear Rosebud’s Puppy Collars (and cat toys).

“Ahem,” she said, “Bright Stars…”

It worked.

And so the Bright Stars have solid colored collars and the Moonshadows have patterned collars…

Have a ten bright star rated day!

Evening Photos

So, the plan was that all the Bright Star photos would look like Lyra’s…

You likely know how plans go.

I finally gave up and decided it was enough to have one decent photo of each puppy — that was an all-day project by itself. I have booked Suzanne to help next week.

So here you go — the Bright Stars at two weeks (and a day).
