Meet Fennel. Fennel is a daughter of Bliss, born on 7 May 2024. She was the puppy we very quickly said, she is staying with us! Her 3 siblings have left for their new homes, the last one today. Fennel is a smooth coat, short hair, so a very different coat to her mother Bliss. The father is a smooth coat Shiloh. Now Fennel has the whole property to herself, together with mum Bliss. This will definitely take some getting used to, but I am sure it will work out. We are super happy with her.

Weekly update Bliss/Bapu litter!🥰
Today these little babies are one week old.

These little babies are growing so fast! Everyone has basically doubled their birth weight. They start moving around the welping box as if they’re training for a marathon💪Not to mention their training of the vocal cords, especially at night, so keeping us from a good sleep😵😵😉
We've started Early Neurological Stimulation this week, which, of course, they didn’t appreciate much and neither did I as it felt like “bullying” these little creatures😏

ENS is a protocol first developed for military and working dogs to build more robust, strong neurological systems in dogs. In general practice, ENS contributes to a resiliant dog that is better able to cope with life stresses. By introducing briefly, controlled stressors for two weeks starting at day 3, we see long term effects in improved stress responses later in life, improved growth and cardiorespiratory function, improved immune function, and improved neurological function.

We also completed puppies' first nail trimming. I must admit that it was maybe a bit stressful for them, but it was probably even more for me to cut these little nails😅

Bliss is great mother and she’s getting more relaxed and so staying a bit more outside the welping box and there’s already little longer time in between the feedings.

We’re very proud to introduce the Bliss/Bapu puppies!!❤️🥰
They were born on Tuesday the 7th of May, during a long delivery but now everybody’s happy and relaxed. Bliss is a lovely caring, sometimes a bit over caring, mother.
We’ll keep updated weekly!
We’ve called them after the seasonable herbs😊
Puppy red: male called “Chive”
Puppy pink: female called “Fennel”
Puppy green: female called “Sage”
Puppy orange: male called “Basil”

It’s about two months ago, we started with the renovation of the floors in the main house. It was a lot more work than we thought it would be, but finally it’s done!! There’re only some small details left to finish and tomorrow we’re planning to put back in place all the furniture which was stalled in our chapel💒 Pfffffff, we’re so glad it’s done😰

Gisteren is het beton in de woon- en eetkamer gestort. Hier kwam grof geschut aan te pas, maar het ligt er nu dan ook strak in🙂
Nu moeten we het 3 weken laten drogen voordat er betegeld kan worden.
Nog even geduld voor het eindresultaat dus☺️

En omdat we dan toch bezig zijn gaan we ook meteen de woon- en eetkamer vloer vervangen.
Dit staat al jaren in de planning omdat er daar een enorm vochtprobleem is.
Zoals jullie zullen begrijpen is het nu één grote puinhoop in het hoofdhuis. Maar ja, alles om het de gasten naar hun zin te maken

13/01/2024

Mensen vragen ons vaak wat we zoal in de winter doen als er geen gasten zijn………
Dit keer moest er wederom een groot riool probleem in het hoofdhuis opgelost worden.
Dit heeft helaas tot gevolg dat we de hele gang en keuken opnieuw moeten (laten) betegelen.
Tja, met een oud huis hoef je je nooit te vervelen😏

Wij, Martin en Saskia, wensen jullie allen een heel mooi 2024 waarin we er vooral voor elkander zullen zijn.

Togetherness is what we are looking for this new year, so let’s stick together!❤️🍾🥂🥂🥂🎊
