We groom our Bouviers ourselves and, after hours of brushing and clipping, Audrey Hepburn still looks like a doggy dog - not an elegant floof.

Things are so stressful - don’t just touch grass, run wildly on it.

Dog with crown.

Dog with crown.

Audrey Hepburn is almost 2 and finally stopped eating the house.

To celebrate, I bought wood filler for baseboards + doors, spackling for the walls and put a crown on Audrey.

The look on her face says it all - the crown was removed immediately.

The lawn is finally dry enough to let the Bouvier pups do best friend things.

They live for such a short time, I try to give them every moment of joy.

Two Bouvier puppies.

Two Bouvier puppies.

There are so many contentious issues and I’m sorry to drop another one in the mix but, isn’t it unfair that we don’t we have a dog day?

We have #Caturday

Why not #Dogunday (Sunday is the day they get mega attention).

Asking for these two cuties.

I just read them the morning news and this was their response.

This is why we don’t deserve dogs.

Note the mutual play bow at the end of the video - it’s so dang cute.

The gruesome, unsolved murders of Christmas stuffies continues- our garbage is full of their fluffy blood and carcasses.

Whodunnit?

Our Bouvier puppies are still investigating…

Santa Paws - a white bearded Bouvier who travels the world delivering Christmas stuffies - is late in delivering the pup’s presents.

Audrey Hepburn had to be dissuaded from opening all the presents, to find her coveted stuffie.

Audrey Hepburn is only a year old but her fur is already an absolute unit.

Bouviers are stoic, thoughtful dogs but Audrey’s still a puppy with BIG FEELINGS about being groomed - so she needed kisses and treats the whole time.

The wild ones are having so much fun that I filmed in slo-mo or they’d be a furry blur.

Can’t we all relate?

When Audrey Hepburn politely asked one of our neighbours to play, the neighbour took a look at Audrey Hepburn and told her that she doesn’t fit in with 😎wild turkeys.

I told Audrey Hepburn she fits into our 😎 family and 9 wild turkeys glared at us.

🧡Our Bouviers went romping around the backyard, just after we brushed, clipped and washed 200 pounds of fluff. 😏

Wouldn’t have it any other way.

My magnificent Kai died young after a long illness, so watching these happy girls is everything.

Audrey Hepburn has hit the 14 month teenage phase.

Frolicking with her 100+ pound baby sitter, who plays as hard as she does, is the only way to tire this pup out.

We can’t pay Winnie enough for her service.

The pups are either playing together or resting with their paws touching.

It’s endlessly charming to live with these BFFs.

Walking the pups in this neighbourhood makes them feel like they’re in the middle of an action movie.

We saw bunnies, cats and, finally, the stars of the film: wild turkeys.

Many thanks to the bunny who comes every morning and evening to babysit the puppies so that I can get some chores done.

*Someone* in our home has an online shopping addiction so, when a package arrives in the mail, the dogs can barely contain their excitement long enough for me to open it.

To everyone brave enough to peek at the news, knowing that there will be fresh h*ll but care enough to watch, hope this’ll help you as it helps me:

A love undaunted by the goings on in the world because love is what matters in the end.

Hate never wins.

On #InternationalDogDay tell all humans that sticks left at a cottage rental fire pit are left there for dogs.

And humans who worry about splinters and take those sticks away from us are monsters.

Monsters.

After Kai died, our home felt so empty.

Winnie and I were so lonely.

Enter Audrey Hepburn, Kai’s great niece.

Winnie is now never alone and my heart is full too.

It’s as if Audrey was born to be ours.

Sometimes the world hands you perfection.

Even walking the pups early it’s still hot as hades, so they get short walks on streets that have some shade.

Please be careful out there.

I love this breed.

Bouviers are calm, stay calm and expect me to be the same.

No drama.

Such a reprieve from social media and everything else these days.

Audrey has been destroying things.

When she chewed a doorframe, I got angry and shouted β€˜off’

Audrey hasn’t been shouted at, so she cocked her head, wondering what on earth was wrong with me.

Me!

I burst out laughing.

Wish I took a pic.

Pups, eh?

Me: could you watch Audrey Hepburn for 10 minutes?

Husband: sure.

Me (returns): Audrey Hepburn ate a wall.

Husband: she ate a what??

Me: she ate a corner of a wall.

A dog attacked our pups.

Bouviers are protection dogs with a long fuse.

They realized the snarling dog was leashed, so they ignored and kept walking.

A dog attacking almost 200 pounds of Bouvier muscle is reason 1M to #leashyourdog
