Day 43. I spend much of today outside – it was warm and sunny, and I also had to avoid the house cleaner! #pupdate #selkie

Day 42. I’ve worked out that I can jump up onto the small retaining wall that used to keep me contained on the back patio. Look out plants, here I come! #pupdate #selkie

Day 41. Behold the forbidden corner of the sitting room! Power cords, a pot plant and, this morning, ugg boots! My humans think they’ve blocked it off, but little do they know… #pupdate #selkie

Day 40. I went for my first proper walk today! Kate and I had a stroll by the river, but I wasn’t allowed to go on the beach or in the water – maybe next time! #pupdate #selkie

Day 39. A quiet wet Saturday at home. I played with teenagers, watched a hailstorm and got two new balls with ‘prey-like squeaking sounds’. They’re lots of fun! #pupdate #selkie

Day 37. As I get bigger there’s lots of things I can do that I couldn’t before. But I guess the opposite is also true – soon I won’t be able to squeeze through the gap between these plant pots! #pupdate #selkie

Day 36. A visit to Dr Raj this morning for my final puppy vaccinations. I’m getting to be a big puppy – 11kg – and got a pig ear to take home with me. Yum! #pupdate #selkie

Day 32. I’m 3 months old today! It was a glorious spring day in Hobart so I spent the morning in the garden. I ran through the long grass, ate pademelon poo and took a dip in the pond. #pupdate #selkie

This semester / term I have been teaching into two units, which has included my first regular face-to-face teaching since I got #longCOVID over 4 years ago. It’s been challenging, but I made it through in one piece (more or less, although there were some pretty low spots health-wise). So, yay me!

Day 27. Being a puppy is not all fun and games, you know. Quite often I find myself in gaol. Yes, gaol! Apparently the humans don’t like to share their food or have cups of tea knocked over or whatever. #pupdate #selkie

Day 24. I’m 12 weeks old today! It seems my humans don’t appreciate quite how clever I am for one so little. Today I worked out how to unroll the toilet paper!

Day 22. A beautiful spring day, so Kate and I went to visit the ducks and sea gulls at Wrest Point. I found a nice mussel shell that I wasn’t allowed to keep. Unfair. #pupdate #selkie
