Baloo Bear 8 weeks old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon Also known as a weenie spitfire.

PUPDATE:

It was a battle of the wills.

Eventually he retreated to his bear cave.

And collapsed into a deep slumber.

For the next hour or so. I hope.

Lawd he too cute…

What I think when I see this photo: if government is of, for and by the people, these are not my people.

This is wonderful and just brightened my timeline, just a small fraction of the immense joy you radiate! Congratulations!

Right now I’m working from home, and he’s all cuddled up with his stuffed toys sleeping. It’s really adorable.

Yes. Korthals Griffon = Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Well ! He’s full of energy when awake and delightful, and very easy when he’s sleepy (or asleep).

PUPDATE — TRIGGER WARNING FOR EXTREME LEVELS OF CUTENESS

Baloo Bear when we first met him (on Sunday!).

He can’t wait!

Yes indeed! Although he needs chewies as a priority as he’s my interested in teething right now.

A good year. Allegedly.

Oui! Baloo de Bretagne !

Up and down the stairs with 6kg. My glutes thank you for your support.

Although I do think he needs to socialise with puppies when it’s allowed. He needs to roll around and wrestle and bite his own kind. Not me!

As Félix, yes. But different country of origin (Wales for Felix, France for Baloo Bear) — I think there are more griffs here, in general I think that means a better lineage to be able to understand what his characteristics will be (hunter, but very gentle).

France ups the ante in the spat with US ambassador, says ministers will no longer meet him France's spat with the U.S. ambassador to Paris has taken another turn with the French foreign minister now saying the top U.S. diplomat in France must explain himself after ignoring a French summons.

Classic FAFO of the old school diplomacy style.

I listened to the interview with Jean-Noel Barrot on Sunday who was clear: foreign ambassadors should stay out of domestic politics and this particular amplification of partisan blame of a murder in France is just that.

Felix was a great boy but crossed the rainbow bridge at end of Jan. The new guy in our life, Baloo Bear, is a charmer.

Life without a dog is life incomplete!

Oh don’t do rambutans a disservice

Felix was from near Caerphilly ❤️

Oh no!!!

You are in Wales? Felix was from Wales. Phil Bloss.

A Griff? Such insanely smart dogs…
