There are so many gorgeous photos of the puppies from today I just don't know where to start! They got to play outside. I don't know if it was their first time or not, but it must have been very exciting! I tend to view things through my service-dog lens, so as I was looking through the photos, I was full of delight at seeing all the different surfaces and objects the puppies had to explore. There was wood, grass, rocks to clamber over—learning to be comfortable and relaxed on all manner of surfaces is very important. Plus it looks like the pups had a fantastic time.

Additionally, Maura posted the first set of stacked photos! In case the
word “stacked” doesn't mean anything to you when it comes to dogs, the
term means that the dog (or puppy in this case) is standing squarely,
with their back feet far enough back that their hocks are straight and
their topline is nice (i.e. not hunched over or way stretched out). It
may look easy, but it's really not! Not even with an adult dog—teaching
them to stand properly can take a really long time, and getting puppies
to stand in the right position, and stand
still, is a big task.

Don't you just love their fat little bellies? Precious.
Kaline's in-training vest came yesterday. I'll post photos once the patches are sewn on—taking it to the tailor tomorrow!
