Piper in the Great Outdoors
We’ve mostly been taking it easy and letting Piper get used to his new home and buddies. We’re doing a bit of recall practice indoors each day, as well as targeting which he is great at! As for outdoors, he’s been getting used to the park and beach and his harness. He is relaxing quite quickly, though it still strikes me how different he, being a baby, compared to Carly. I had almost forgotten all they have to learn the first few months to a year. But notice the relaxed, fluffed feathers in many of the photos, even on his first times trying new things.
Here’s his first outing to the beach on August 12, about a week after arriving — surveying the new scene!

And walking around while the big boys flew.

Today we did some recalls on the harness on our park walk. Lookin’ around a bit first…

Then a big fluff.

Ready…. set…..

Go!

Carly is still feeding him when he’ll let her. She’s eating a lot and maintaining her weight, and he just broke 500 grams the other day — a 30 g gain since his arrival a few weeks ago. Carly’s a good mom
This week we’re moving to a different apartment, which is one reason why I’ve taken it pretty easy letting Piper get used to everyone. Wendy’s babies really are confident and happy though. That foundation is quite apparent in the ease with which he adapts to new things.
