Bordeaux

Hi my name is Bordeaux

If you are wondering why I got the name Bordeaux, it is not because I am a heavy drinker, but because I was born in that district of Bordeaux, France. It happened when mom Chanty together with Mom, Dad and Anuska were driving by car from Rota, Spain and up to Halden Norway. Mom and Dad knew mom Chanty was pregnant and could give birth any time on the way up, and had prepared a box with blankets.

I was born at 08.00 in the morning in Hotel Brasseria in La Rochelle, France. First came my brother Cognac, very small born, and then me with a normal size. Then sister Paris came and at the end sister Rochelle. As you can see, we all got our names from the wine district south of France.

We were all healthy and fine. Mom Chanty managed it all by herself while aunt Queenie was sitting on Anuska’s lap and helping me breathing. Mom was sitting next to mom Chanty in case she needed to help, and Dad took pictures and videos. It was really a family happening when I was born.

We the puppies, were shown to the people at the hotel before we left. Mom and Dad told them that we were only 1 hour old. Our box with mom Chanty and us were placed in the backseat of the Mercedes. Then we were on the road for the first time in my life. Anuska, Mom and Dad took turns sitting next to us. We were heading for Norway.

We spent a night in a small cozy hotel in Holland next to one of the canals. Also there the other people at the hotel had to admire us. I didn’t really notice it, because at that time I could not hear or see at all until 14 days later.

Safe and well arriving in Halden, we stayed in the kitchen.

We were growing and everything was nice around us. 14 days later we were able to see around us, and there was mom Chanty, Aunt Queenie, Mom and Dad. Julie and Maja also came over to say hello to us. Julie even came into our bed . So did aunt Queenie, but only when mom Chanty was out for a walk .

After that I played a lot with Maja and Julie, Queenie and mom Chanty .

Mom and Dad took us puppies out to the forest almost every day so we could play and get stronger. Sometimes Maja and Julie came with us too.

At the end of September my brother and 2 sisters were sold to their new families and left. They all went to kind people and I know they have a good life as I do. Rochelle went to Stavanger, Paris later called Happy, went to Oslo and Cognac later called Chanto stayed in Halden.

And I stayed in Halden with mom Chanty, aunt Queenie, Mom and Dad. They all called me daddies boy for some reason.
