Last year I started feeling that restless mental itch. My life was boring, and the tide of my creative energy way out over the horizon. Something had to give. I wondered whether I needed a career change, to move house, to enrol at university... Rose said, don't be silly, get a puppy. How right she was!
Since their arrival on the 26th of April, these two have kept me so busy that I haven't even had a chance to tell you about them.
Meet Bonnie and Clyde.
Our two Great Dane bitches are twelve weeks old now. Bonnie has huge feet and a loving nature. She is going to be a big sweetie. Clyde, the harlequin, is very vocal and very active, she is the leader whenever there is mischief afoot.
These two don't come with speed control. They are either
ON
or OFF
Our other dogs took to the puppies straight away and we are enjoying walks in the veld with all six of them.
And as soon as I get into the studio and try to work, there are visitors at the gate...
They can only be let in for a guided tour. Right now they are still chewing everything within reach.
So, if I don't get to the phone in time, forget an appointment, turn up covered in dust and grass, I've been playing with the puppies. When you get invited to share a puppy's joy for life, everything else must wait!
How true, they grow up so fast. Oh Megan, they are precious, adorable, so sweet. Such "little" babies.

Thank you Joyce. Great Dane puppies are 'little' babies indeed. These two already weighed more than 12kg each when we got them. Despite their size, they have the need for cuddles and sitting one one's lap. I'm spending a lot of time on the floor right now :-)
DeleteSweet post! I feel that way about my guinea pig, Rufus! He gives me so much joy and helps spark my creativity. Your new babies are totally adorable--have tons of fun! xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words about my blog, Jennifer. Yes there is something about having an animal around your workspace. I think one relates to them in a different way than to humans, and somehow they spark off creative thoughts. I have long conversations with my dogs when there is no one around to hear :-)
DeleteBonney and Clyde are wonderful. Enjoy them. Two huge bundles of energy. You have your hands ful.
