Nelly is a mischievous and funny puppy who loves to play as much as she loves to cuddle up to someone; it’s a 50/50 mix, exactly what I asked our breeder for.
While she plays with Klaus most of the time, she can also keep herself occupied. She is not a needy puppy and doesn’t whine; another must we told our breeder.
When she is keeping herself occupied, she likes to drag whatever she can find, either outside or inside. We purchased a customer-fit walk-through screen for our sliding door that closes magnetically and works brilliantly!
While we are outside working in our production kitchen, Nelly and Klaus have access to a portion of a fenced-in part of the yard. We can keep an eye on them with one of the surveillance cameras.
When we are working, they usually sleep inside, I put on babysitting for dogs music on YouTube for them, and it works like a charm. When I turn it on, Nelly immediately jumps into one of her beds, and Klaus climbs onto the couch. It’s a beautiful thing!
When Nelly needs to go out, she runs out of the screen and can go. They also can go outside and sunbathe on the back deck. We start early in the morning and are usually done by 1-1:30, with a couple of breaks in between to check on them.
Last week, Nelly brought her puppy food dish, the toilet bowl brush, my socks, and Marty’s shoes outside. The toilet bowl brush sounds gross, but I always clean it well and rinse it in clean water when I am done with it—no chemicals or other nasties to worry about.
On Sunday, she dragged in a heavy piece of rusty chain from 1850 that was used when they moved our house from one side of the street to the other. We find pieces of chain every now and again. They come to the dirt’s surface like magic near our house’s foundation.
I’m used to finding sticks, rocks, and big pieces of mulch in the house, but like my sons did when they were small, she found a portion of the heavy chain and dragged it in. I laughed when I walked inside; as Noah and Sam did, she was a proud little puppy showing me what she found.
We have Nelly proofed everything we can think of, but sometimes she still finds a treasure which makes me think, look what the cat dragged it. Today, after production, the toilet brush holder was in the middle of the lawn, and the brush was on the deck.
That’s it for that little stunt; it has a new home when we are working. Nelly definitely keeps us on our toes, that’s for sure. Have a great day! ☀️
Morning smiles TY
Happy Solstice 😎
