It hit me again yesterday, like it keeps hitting me every so often – a really bad case of puppy fever. And this time I think my fever is legitimate, as I got to witness the cutest little ball of fluff on this planet, a 13-week-old bichon frisé puppy.
I bet all dog owners remember the best bits about puppies, such as their infinitely illogical behavior, like when they are prowling over their prey and meaning to jump at them but instead jump in a totally different direction and then look at you dumbfounded, as if you had anything to do with it. Or how they can fall into an outright coma in a heartbeat, even if it’s in the middle of playing.
Oh and the paws. The softest teeny tiny little paws (mind you, with razor-sharp nails), paws that despite being tiny are way too big for their size, it’s like their parents have bought them shoes they can grow into. And you know how people say babies smell wonderful? Well, try smelling puppies! Paw-dorable!
So as I watched Nala skillfully play with this miniscule furball I was once again reminded about how wonderful puppies are. Especially when you can only watch them play for half an hour and leave all the housetraining to their owners.
Nala at 8 weeks – too cute for a caption <3
We bet Nala had fun playing with the puppy. There are no words to explain her cuteness in the photo above! Her coat has changed a lot since then.

She has gone blonde since then, you are right! But she still has a bit of tan in her ears, just to remind her of her puppy days
Awww so cute!
I remember well:)) Adorable!
Sweet, sweet memories..
Nala is such an adorable puppy! I love baby bichons they are such fluff balls!
They are the cutest! It’s funny how quickly you forget what they looked like as puppies, until you see an old photo and the immediate reaction is “awwww….”
OMG Nala was SUCH an adorable little puppy! Yes, I remember those puppy days – they weren’t all that long ago, yet somehow they seem like ages ago. Those tired little puppy eyes, the discovery moments, trying to figure things out with those little ears perked forward, the awkward strides….these are all the things that weaken us when we see puppies up for adoption. If I had a farm, I think I’d have an ongoing influx of puppies!
I completely agree! My dream job is having a kennel, or rather a doggie day care center.. if only it paid the bills! Although, Nala would be rather jealous, I’m sure. So maybe I’ll stick to my little princess
My mom person has puppy fever too! She’d like to get me a brother or a sister, but the dad person isn’t feeling it.

But aren’t men more visual? So what if you, let’s say just by accident, happen to go visit a kennel.. I’m sure no dad can say no to a tiny little puppy
