Life In A Kennel

Hubby pointed out the other day that now that we are a four dog family, things have become much like life in a kennel. Our days are falling into a pattern of up with the birds (or should I say puppies), and to sleep at dusk.

The puppies are learning how to act and they are getting more and more potty trained each day. They play almost all day and naps are going by the wayside. Shucks. I need my sleep!

Mr. Fritzi is getting used to the babies and I think he actually likes them. He will sit in front of my chair and looks quite at peace. And when they lean down and kiss his nose I think he actually likes it.

I think Hubby is enjoying them too. He will sit over on the sofa with all the dogs and talk to them, teach the smaller ones to look out the window and laugh at their antics.

Me? Well, I feel like a new mother. I’m a bit sleep deprived, I am on my feet most of the day and I am trying desperately to keep up with two toddler puppies. Wish I could diaper them, it would save me the carpet cleaning and the rushed trips out to the back yard.

But I am happy. Happy with my little dog family and Hubby. I know once the puppies are house trained, life will become so much easier. In the meantime, I will enjoy the beautiful faces and loving looks.

  1. Oh Maribeth…how sweet they are! I have missed out on so much, laying around being sick and tired! Ugh!

    Your pictures are just adorable and I don’t believe I’ve ever read a more ‘contented’ post before. You sound so blissful! =)

    Hugs to you, my friend!

  2. Oh, there is much to do for sure, but it looks like lovely chores. And sooo much love in return 🙂

    The winner of the crazy hat parade is announced!

    Don’t miss the new port tomorrow – Iceland – or the new event on Wednesday – 1 photo from somewhere you’ve been and have strong memories from – beautiful or whatever.

  3. I love the new pictures! It looks like Hubby is having a great time and Fritz definitely looks like he is used to the puppies 🙂 I still love Arnie!

  4. I almost forgot my cats (shame on me) but the puppies look sooo cute ! They should come with you to Brussels, the Market is open ! and guess what ? I won the Hat Parade ! I am happy !

  5. What a great pic of your hubby and the puppers. It is a really really nice one.

  6. This has nothing to do with your post, but I saw in your sidebar “Germany” in the Archives and I just finished reading from top to bottom ! Took me an hour but it was so nice to read ! Although I am German I have never been in Berlin, I grew up in Bonn, before my father went to Brussels where he started to work for the Commun Market in 58. Your reportage was very interesting for me !
