Captains Log. Star Date: 2
Puppies need to go to the ship yard to do their business. Unfortunately they can not be coerced out, they are having none of it. Cosmic is slowest, and picked up first. He is left in the yard under the supervision of the First Officer. Nova is caught and carried out, but Stardust attempts a bite when caught. Puppies huddle in the corner instead of doing their business. I came out and convinced them that they should return to the main deck of the ship.
After the First Officer and I return from our mission to get a plastic box, dirt, starter sod/mulch, new bedding and a few toys, we began again to work with the pups. I added dirt and mulch mix to the bin as the First Officer threw chicken to the puppies and around my work area. Stardust and Nova cautiously came to grab pieces, while Cosmic slept in a crate.
That evening, another officer and I had the puppies take chicken from our hands as they tentatively put one, then two paws on us. Cosmic slept the whole time. I picked him up once and he ate one tiny piece of chicken, then curled up in another crate.
