Springer Spaniel Puppy

We have welcomed another puppy into our home. Meet Schalke, a field bred, Springer Spaniel. He is a sweet tempered little guy and seems to be pretty smart. He is also as clumsy as a ballerina in clown shoes.

One puppy is fun. Two puppies is like turning your house over to a gang of drunken yobs after a home-game.

The process of house breaking is well under way both literally and figuratively. The little Maltese is nimble and quick while the Springer is a big, lumbering dinosaur by comparison. It is hard not to laugh out loud at the sight of my daughter holding two leashes and trying to coax them in to peeing outdoors when all the pups want to do is chase each other in circles.

Lots of cuddles, lots of puddles and lots of laughter at the Dobson household for the next few months. Or to put it more simply, "the circus is in town!"
