If you are hoping for adorable puppy pictures, I apologize. I don't have them. It's not for a lack of trying. Capturing a half-heeler pup on the back porch is like catching lightning in a bottle. Difficult. It's easier to capture the actual puppy than the picture.
There's Pepper. In his back-porch pen this morning around 9:30. There's his house in the background, with the bacon-scented chew toy in front like a just-delivered morning paper. And the brown dog statue from the side porch that Farmer H put there to keep Pepper company. He said Pepper was licking it. Well. Every animal that comes across the porch stops to pee on it. So that's not really something I want to think about.
Pepper has no respect for personal boundaries! And tries to squeeze through narrow spaces intened to keep him out! I picked up Pepper for petting purposes. Then set him down. He was all over the place, though I had to lure him out of his house at first. Pepper got into the laundry room, which was fine, because I had the door to the kitchen closed. After a bit of investigation, I finally shooed him out.
This does not look like Pepper at all, but since there was no other puppy on the porch, it has to be him! He was howling to be let into the Mansion, heh, heh. Or for Farmer H to come rescue him.
More picking up and petting ensued. Jack came around the kitchen to investigate.
Jack did not seem at all impressed when I held out Pepper over the barrier, like a low-level Lion King proffering, for his inspection.
Tomorrow, I'll tell a little about Pepper's first day and night.

Pepper is a great name and now that you have Pepper-Jack, the next puppy will have to be named Cheese 🤣 The touch of brown on his ears matches Jack's, like they could be brothers.
River,
Heh, heh! That WAS a factor in choosing the name. I told Pony, "Now our dogs are Pepper, Jack. If we get another one, I'd call it Doctor. For Doctor, Pepper, Jack. I do love my spotted heeler doggies. Lucky would have been a good match, had he not been spirited away.
Awww, sweet little boy. Their coats match! Speaking of Dr. Pepper, have you seen the peeps out with a Dr. Pepper flavor. I didn't care for it. I am partial to cotton candy and the original. My joints still hurt or Kevin would have enjoyed a bath by now. I heard Bo tell him about a nice warm soak!
Kathy,
I need to get a picture of Pepper's face, because that one looks nothing like him in person.
I saw only the yellow chick Peeps this week. I managed to resist. I prefer the pink or purple bunnies. I have not tried the Dr. Pepper Peeps. There used to be "mystery" Peeps, but I could never tell what they were.
