Rough sketch of puppyhood development
| Human age equivelence | yinrih age (terran years) | Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | 10 | Pups are expected to know right from wrong. Formal religious and secular education begins. Later bound for end of early childhood amnesia |
| 10 | 14 | the age at which pups may begin serving as acolytes or bonekeepers |
| 13 | 35 | Pups begin rejecting physical affection, such as kisses from parents and tail thumps from siblings and begin showing the adult preference for personal space. At Moonlitter, retail conscription begins |
| 18 | 53 | sexual maturity, legal adulthood |
As for the pups I've featured in stories so far, the three sisters from Everybody Poops Together are around 15 to 18 Terran years. The narrator from one part of First Contact and his sister are around 10 (I'll have to retcon the age at which the sister can become an acolyte though. It should be “four more years” not “six more years”.) The boys from In Which Greg Experiences Indigestion are in their 40s or very early 50s. Crystal from Table Manners is probably around 40.
