Denmark: Meet Bølle! My parents’ cute Danish-Swedish Farmdog puppy
My parents just got a puppy. His name is Bølle (rascal in Danish), and he’s only 9 weeks old and so cute it’s crazy. He’ll chase his own tail and running around the house like a maniac until he abruptly crashes and enters deep puppy sleep on the couch together with his favorite pillow from Snuggly Ugly.
I love dogs but taking care of such a little guy is a lot of work, and these days I can’t even keep my house plants alive, but someday, I really want my own little Bølle.
Bølle now has a stepsister, Bella, and she is quite a handful!
