Chaos and mischief wrapped in floppy fluff - Introducing Griffin

Pardon me; it seems I fell into a sudden and lengthy silence. Let's just say I've been - ahem - preoccupied, with this little bundle of chaos:

So he was supposed to be a miniature goldendoodle.  I repeat: miniature.

Sure, he was rather miniature when he arrived:

But eight weeks later, we believe that ship has sailed 😅

He is now four months old, so only time will tell just how large this beast will grow.

Anyway. Puppy parenting took us somewhat by surprise (cliché ahoy!). It totally threw us, just how much attention this little fella would demand of us, how often we'd have to get on our hands and knees and wipe lakes of piss from our brand new laminate, how creative we would need to become in keeping him calm, entertained, and away from our feet with his stabbing fangs. Hence the lack of blog posts - and the forgotten piles of laundry, the skipped to-dos, the weeds dominating the garden, and so on 😏

But we seem to have finally settled into a kind of routine, and we are (mostly) able to catch those wees in time and make sure they end up in the garden soil rather than on some precious piece of furniture. We are also exploring surrounding areas and finding nice countryside walks, as well as new doggy pals. And little Griffy is getting skilled at fetch, fist bumps, and other useful canine manouevres.

Meanwhile, things have been happening around the house and garden (it is FAR easier to paint a living room without a pooch insisting on dipping his nose in the paint tray!), and I'll see if I can catch up with everything in upcoming posts.

Until then.
