29 and Me

The Moonshadows have emerged from baby puppyhood and are now firmly in the puppy stage of constant interaction with their external world.

In fact, I looked over at the Bright Stars and noticed that someone shrunk!

Nope — just an escapee from the Moonshadow side of the Fun House.

In fact, there were three who decided to join the big kids for a bit. Because of the size differences between the litters, I do not let them play together but everyone was already tired and so it seemed safe for them to have some time together. A week makes such a difference at these ages.

Big T on the slide. Like his siblings, Big T is always so happy and friendly…

This is Moonshadow Arche.

Because the Moonshadows are the M Litter, all of the puppies will have a registered name that starts like this: Kaibab Moonshadow ______________ (fill in the blank). Homes may call them by any name but the registered name will keep the theme since it starts with an M, and it is both cute and meaningful.

Moonshadow Buck…

Dear Husband left yesterday for his camping adventure in northern Arizona and so it is now just me and 29 animals. Isn’t that wild to say?! Twenty-nine animals — and me.

So far, so good.

This is Orion…

…and Zaniah…

…and Claire, who is now eating from a bowl 95% of the time! Yay Claire!

Thank you to those who send wonderful gifts and messages — you know who you are. The uplifts you provide through tiny cupcakes and donuts (toys and the real deal) and stained glass and puppy toys and emails and texts and etc. — well, words do not do my gratitude justice.

It may be just me and 29 animals but I know I am not alone. Thank you.

Capella and an appreciated gift.

This is a toy I bought for the puppies, and I thought you would like to watch the Bright Stars’ reactions as they engage with it for the first time.

Have a fun day!

Friends are so helpful. It isn’t 29 and me — it is 10+10+9 and me. That sounds SO much more doable. Thanks, Toby!

I took each of the Bright Stars outside on individual walks to reinforce following me, practice trotting for the upcoming evaluations, and also to expose them to the big wide world without the benefit of siblings. It went well but I only took the camera for the last puppy, which was Capella.

Karma provided moral support but none of the puppies needed it…
