Happy birthday to Pudding


Joyeuses Pâques à tout le monde! 
Les cloches sont passées déposant trois œufs au milieu des primevères.

 Happy Easter to everybody ! 
The Easter Bells have laid some eggs in the garden on a bed of primroses.




Cette année, coïncidence, le dimanche de Pâques tombe le jour des farces et aussi le jour d’anniversaire de mon Toutou, et là ce n’est pas une blague de premier avril ! Le refuge qui nous a confié Pudding ne savait pas précisément la date de sa naissance et le vétérinaire a fixé cette date approximative. Voici la première photo de Pudding à son arrivée au refuge de la SPA, elle avait un peu plus d’un an.  

This year, Easter coincides with April Fools’ Day and my Pudding’s birthday, and this is not a joke! The kennel that entrusted Pudding to our care didn’t know her date of birth with precision, so the vet chose a date and it was April 1. Here is the very first picture of Pudding when she was taken in by the Society for the Protection of Animals, she was then a little more than one year old.

Mon grand bébé de neuf ans, le poil un peu plus blanc autour des yeux et de l’arthrose dans les pattes qui le prive des grandes promenades qu’elle aimait tant. Mais elle est toujours aussi fofolle et joueuse!Un chien de chasse qui n’a jamais chassé que les canards en peluche!  

My big nine-year-old baby, her hair is whiter around the eyes and some arthritis prevents her from having long walks as she used to. But she is still very playful!  A gun dog that has never hunted but fluffy ducks!

    1. Thank you for Pudding,Tatyana! Any dog would be mad about a good meat bone, but Pudding is rather fond of ham, cheese and whipped cream! A strange dog!!
      Have a nice week! Sandrine

  8. How pretty your Easter eggs look sitting on the bed of Primrose. Another gorgeous embroidery, Sandrine. Your Pudding is such a sweet 'puppy'. I smiled when you mentioned her only ever hunting fluffy dogs. My Maisie is always scampering over the paddocks chasing ducks. Perhaps I should introduce her to the fluffy kind. May you and your Pudding enjoy a beautiful week.

  9. Thank you, Kim! I am afraid if Maisie was introduced to Pudding she would laugh at her! Pudding is so timid! When she sees real ducks, she turns her head and pretends she has not seen them. And if she ever hears a gunshot when we go for a walk, she either runs back to the car or refuses to move and I have to carry her! But don't tell Maisie, I don't want to ruin Pudding's reputation :)) Hugs to you and Maisie! Sandrine

    By the way, my older sister was born on April 1. She always says she is a Nature' joke.

    1. Merci beaucoup! Eh oui, nos Toutounettes sont des chasseuses de salon! A l'arrivée du nouveau canapé, on avait dit NON, mais quand on dit que les épagneuls bretons sont têtus, ce n'est pas une légende...
