I’m having a really good time! My grand-puppy, Bogart arrived on Thursday for a visit. He is a year and a half old and still full of puppy impishness! The first moments after he arrived were a bit tense. Arnie was not at all sure he wanted another male dog in the house (He does not regard Fritz as a boy, as Fritz has been altered.), and the barking and posturing were really something else. Greta and Anneliese seemed to accept him a lot more easily
After about an hour the barking stopped, but not the suspicious glances that Arnie cast toward Bogart. But as the evening progressed, the boys settled down and eventually they curled up and slept.
On Friday, Arnie was still giving Bogart a wide birth, but Anneliese seemed to remember her son, and she began to play with him. At one point she say down on the sofa and I caught her kissing his ears.
Bogey knows where he is. Funny, that. He went out to the puppy room and sniffed around, as if looking for his brother and sisters. He is affectionate with both Hubby and me.
Currently he is on his little bed asleep, next to Fritz. Oh yes, he adores Fritz! He follows him around, showers him with kisses and sleeps cuddled next to him.
As you can see by his smile, he is settling in.
And, like the other three dackels, he enjoys looking out the windows at the lake, the birds and our neighbors cat!
I just love the way he stands up to look out the window. Just too cute!
It’s hard to believe that this is the same baby that I delivered a year and a half ago. Remember when he looked like this?
And this.
Now he is all grown up and even cuter, don’t you think?
