Day out in Holterberg

So warm, so quiet, Paddy tried to hang himself to sleep over the chair beams.
Finally awake again, after sleeping 3 hours.

Enjoying the grass in Holterberg with GJ on a sunny day!

Foward Ho! Her Royal Cuteness...Evi Polling

Incredible, that you could be outside in shorts in April in Holland.

Bloemencorso

To accustoms Paddy to traveling and people, we decided to take him to the Bloemencorso (read: giant flower parade in Lisse, where GJ's station is.) Jinn came along and I am so proud of Paddy. He only barked once at Leiden Central and that was because he had to PEE...other than that, he was comfortably sleeping at my feet or being the object of affection for all the tourists!

In fact, he loved his first day of bright sunshine and warm weather...a bit warm, but still..he LOVED IT!

Proud Parents

Paddy's First Dogsit

Thanks so much Ren & Giulia for dogsitting so I could go to Brussels for a baby shower and GJ could go to his AJAX match!
Wonderful God Parent that Ren is, he even taught Paddy to sit and lie down! (my dog is a genius...)

Paddy Week 1

He is the cutest, quietest dog ever....so far, we have not had much trouble with him. He learnt not to pee and poo indoors since the first night and after the 1st week of being SUPER EXHAUSTED, we learned to let go and let him sleep through the night on his own.

The upside is we discovered a new mint flavoured chew toy (bye bye puppy breath) which we can fill with snacks, which makes him go crazy and chase it all around the house.. (exhausted/exercised paddy) making our lives and his much easier.
