FIRST FULL DAY out in the SUN!!!!!
Over the last few days I've had the french doors open and slowly moving the puppy play area toward and out the door. Just outside the door is a three foot overhang that gives the puppies a sense of security. My first litter was brought out to the deck without a gradual introduction and they felt too exposed. After all, they've spent their entire life indoors... all 3 weeks of it :) Despite full spectrum lighting the room isn't as bright as the spring time sun (when it's out!) and even a puppy can tell that the sky is WAYYYYYY up there. The gradual process works beautifully and yesterday they trotted out onto the deck without any hesitation. I had two dog beds about a yard from the front door where they hung out to nurse. They are just starting to get into some serious play and there's only one thing better then and watch puppies playing in the sun.....Watching Mica playing with puppies!
Then, just when things couldn't get any better .... Diana dropped by to see if she could figure out which puppy she might get. It was fun to watch her analyzing each one of them . She came knowing that she wanted a small girl and left with the notion that a big boy might be in her future! Of course it's way too early to know what their final personalities will be. There's still a lot of learning, developing and changing to happen. It's still fun to play the game of "What's the TRUE personally of that puppy."
