somewhere to lay my head

For those of you who have asked and wondered where I find time to blog, the answer is that the time I spend on my blog is the time other people spend cleaning their houses.  If you have ever visited, then you will know that this is but a small exaggeration.  Bathroom?  Clean.  Kitchen?  More or less hygienic.  The rest?  Often muddy and normally dust to be found in abundance.  Puppy pen?  Clean.  Oh yes, the best of everything for the puppies.

And because the puppies get the best of everything, they have also now been allocated the cleaning/blogging portion of my day.  I already don't sleep much, so I don't know where I could possibly carve out an additional bit of time from my day and the puppies' socialisation schedule has started in earnest.  That's why yesterday the blog suffered. 

One by one the pups are being carried into town to see all the traffic, people and noise.  They get to visit the folks in the post office and the bakery and get cuddles and oohs and aahs from all kinds of strangers, including kids.  Along the way they get to feel grass under their paws and sniff and feel and hear lots of different types of foliage as I rustle it when we pass.  They're doing great at it. 

Each puppy is getting to spend a little bit of time alone inside and out.  They're not very keen on being alone, but if there's food involved, well then it's not so bad after all.  Typical little Lappies already. 

Today each puppy will get to sit in the car with me with the engine running and a little movement out of the drive and back.  This is in preparation for their first real car trip next week when they go to have their eye tests.  There is usally much vomit and yowling involved in the eye test trip. 

It's a tiring time for puppies with all this activity.  Here they are looking for a comfy pillow.

Ah, the piano! We need to do that in daylight for the best result - and haven't yet had 5 minutes... will try on Monday :-)
