Today has been amazing. It started with a fantastic session with Blinking Cow Photography who is doing photos for the AARCS website of the girls. The Captain had the patience of a saint waiting for Stardust and Nova to come out of their shells. She did an amazing job! No bows, no flowers, just Stardust being her playful and happy go lucky self and Nova being her curious, calculating, reserved self, with the occasional peek into her super puppy playful side.
When I came back from running errands, (don't ask how or why) I put the dog bed in the pen and joined the pups. With a little coercing (food) I managed to get the girls on the bed with me. Nova stayed half on the bed and we played a game of "chew the captain's hand," which she took breaks from if I softly squealed. She let me touch her almost anywhere (I didn't try anywhere, but she didn't move at all for the places I did try). Of course I got barked at when I crawled out, but it's a start.
PS THERE ARE TINY BLADES OF GRASS IN MY SOD BOX, WHOOOHOOO!
I have washed all of the puppy toys - hard toys in dish soap with a rinse, soft toys in laundry detergent with several "spin/rinse cycles". The title of this photo is: Sometimes the puppies pee in the house and then drag their toys through it.
