Hubby and I were asleep in our bed. Cuddled closely with Greta and Arnie and Fritz slumbering on the floor by the door. Suddenly, there was a knock, knock, knock. Hubby and I started to wake, each thinking we must still be dreaming.
Knock, knock, knock!!!
I turned over and looked at Hubby. “Who is knocking at our door?” I asked him.
Knock, knock, knock!!!
He got up and opened our bedroom door and in ran Anneliese! Yes, my little mama dackel knows how to knock on a door! Can you believe it? She needed to go out, so I got up with her and of course all the other dogs came with me, and we all went out to explore Mother Nature in the back yard.
It was just 5:45 AM!
Still, how can I be angry with a dog who has taught herself to knock? Polite, yes?
***************
I never did get back to sleep as I had puppy duty. I weighed them, fed them their breakfast, cleaned up their box and played with them. Hubby joined me a couple of hours later and apologized for failing to gate in Anneliese before he came to bed last night. I laughed and told him not to worry. I actually got a big kick out of my dackel knocker!
As promised I have pictures of the babies. They are so adorable and I told Hubby that we really needed to post some new pictures so he helped me get a few.
Baron.
Bogey.
Ali (Birgit)
Baerbel (Belle)
We also managed to get in a play session outside before the cold front blew in, bringing with it rain showers and quite a bit of wind.
All the puppies pooped outside which amused the little twin girls from next door and their friend. The twins are 7 and their friend is 6 so poop humor is right up their ally!
I love the knocking story, how cute!
The pups look like little doggies now. They are losing that baby look and growing into big doggies. Love YOU, Mel
That Anneliese is a SMARTY! Animals really do amaze me that way. And those puppies just get cuter!
Wow, I can’t believe your dogs are THAT polite .. haha 🙂
Also, I can’t believe how quickly the pups are growing up… they’re adorable though. When do you have to part with them?
I love their little faces, aww. The knocking story makes me laugh.
ha, Annaliese is so polite! You’ve raised her well. 🙂
The puppies do have a more doggy face now. I think I want to steal Ali, she’s my favorite today.
Too cute!! Knock knock!
