Hej Hej, Puppies!

On our trip to Stockholm last year, we learned that “Hej!” is the endearing and very common Swedish greeting equivalent of “Hello”. It sounds a lot like the English “Hey”.  Sometimes, you hear “Hej hej!” which sounds like “Hey hey!”

I think my last blog was about our new puppy Cooper meeting our existing puppy Hendrix.  I had really hoped to keep a sort of diary on the blog of our progress with Cooper, but it seemed it took the last 7 weeks just to get things going smooth enough to be able to sit and type a new post!  I’m happy to say as we’re nearing the 16 week mark – we’ve got potty training and a lot of house manners firmly in place.  The title of this post comes from the fact that my “command” (more like a call) to get both dogs attention (usually mid puppy wrestling) and have them come over to me is “Hey Hey ,Puppies!”  It reminded us of the Swedish greeting and became (informally) “Hej Hej, Puppies!”

I recently purchased a DSLR camera, and I’ve started playing around with Photoshop this afternoon.  Hopefully, I can make some visually appealing updates to this site.

So, hang in there with me…there may finally be more content coming soon.  In the mean time, here are some of my favorite recent puppy photos. (Clicking on the photo will make it larger.)
