Walking the Dog
What's happened?
According to an old Finnish saying, if you want to hear the truth you should ask your kids or your wife. I told Angie today someone said I'm an upstanding man, trying to explain what English expression upstanding means, breaking it to two words up and standing. She looked at me and said the truth, as she sees it: "To me you look more downsitting than upstanding" (works better in German...)
From Google Translate (I hope that is correct, but I'm sure that Kari will correct if not):
Für mich sehen, mehr als downsitting aufrechten
My small but true joke didn't work, told here in English. It's just this how in English several combined words, like putting up and stand together to form the word upstanding, means something completely different than either of those words alone, or even together but written separately.
Our beautiful Staffy, Holly, finaly gave birth to her litter.
The sad thing was the first born. Neither Holly or us had experience with welping and when we had a still born, it was a very sad moment.
The vet had taken an x-ray some time ago and thought from what she could see, we would end up with 3-4 pups. Well, after the first sad moment, elation. Over a period of time, she gave birth to 5 more.
Both dogs are brindle staffies. As you can see by the pics, there is NO doubt who the father is, lol.
Sally and I are very proud parents.
