So… I’m back! And if not in fighting trim, at least in one piece, for the most part. To celebrate my triumphant return, and (mostly) to apologize for my prolonged absence, I present to you Bella the 4-month-old German shepherd puppy. (I prefer to think that she was named after this Bella.)
My health isn’t great, but it’s better than it was, and honestly it shouldn’t have been keeping me from posting to the blog. I’ve just been kind of depressed and annoyed with the world, and then when I finally got up the initiative to post something, that exact day, the blog went kaboom because I hadn’t been keeping my eye on my SSL certificates and they expired (for my non-technical readers, that means ‘my blog went sproing and pieces flew out in all directions’) and I had to fix that and then I was even more annoyed and…
Anyway, I am hopefully on the mend now. Yesterday I felt the best I’ve felt in a while. Much of today has kind of sucked, but tomorrow’s another day. And I’m in a cafe with a really quite tasty chocolate tart and some tea and, if I am feeling not so great, at least I have been able to sleep reasonably well for the last week, and presumably things will continue to get better. And just a few minutes ago I met the most adorable Bernese mountain dog puppy who licked my face and my right ear and maybe things are okay after all. (No pictures, unfortunately… it was way too dark. Hopefully I’ll get lucky again soon though.)
Look at the ears on this pup. And the puppy ‘fro. Oh. My. God.
Some dogs, there’s more or less no way to get pictures of them without getting their fans too.
Not that she has any complaints, clearly.
STREEEEEEETCHY-dog.
I love the expression, the tongue, and the ear fluff.
Hope you are on the mend too – at least more good days than so-so days. Wishing you happiness and good health in this new year Adam!!
Thanks! I hope so too. I think we’ll see how things are over the next couple of weeks. The worst part of this experience, at least since around two weeks ago, has actually been the mood swings.
Oh no. Tweak this and that a bit and hope all gets better : )
Almost always good advice. 🙂
