The pups chez moi

So we’ve reached the two weeks mark. Everyone seems to be doing okay. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I’m a firm believer in closely monitoring the pups during their first important weeks. Literally, there’s someone in with them 24-7 at the moment. The second picture here is from my office. Yes, as I negotiate the challenges of copywriting, translation and journalism, the woofs and woofettes are close by. Right now I’m translating Arne Ljungqvist’s Dopingjägaren and we’re nearing the end. Hence the messy desk!

Aw, they are so sweet.
I have a basset hound who is my spoiled baby. Seeing these pictures makes me wish we would have had pups .

Hi Jenn,
Thanks for popping in. I zipped over to check out Roxy, too. She’s one cute hound. Reminds me of Tia’s sister. She has a very brown face, too.

I know you know this but the following two lines are for the lurkers who will stop by:
Breeding puppies is a lot of work. The pictures are a sweet reminder of all the good stuff. They don’t show you what it’s like being camped out at 2 in the morning with a mom who wants to go out, pups treading in bits of poo and a whelp box to clean.

Still, as a friend recently wrote: Jon = basset nut.

The pictures of these puppies are adoreable but I miss being able to smell them too (that is when they’re not covered in poo).

Hi Gudrun,
Will make sure they’re clean when you come over :)
