Yeah the tucked in ear and that gaze, pure fear. Thanks for the cutout, I set is as thumbnail.

After all, he did cause Europe to be at peace since 1945 /s

He’s always grumpy for at least three days when changing location. Until then there is no cuddling with him

Exactly

Phonetic is [ˈpʏŋktçən]. It consists of two parts Pünkt-chen.

The “ü” sound really doesn’t exist in English. If you know any french, the u in ‘tu’ (french for ‘you’) is pronounced similarily.

I’m guessing the ‘nkt’ is the hardest part to pronounce since you really have to have each letter audible.

‘ch’ is like a cats hissing sound.

‘en’ is pronounced the same way as ending without the ding.

Translation: Little dot/dots due to her face markings. ‘Punkt’ means ‘dot’, and if we wanna make a smaller version of a word (and/or cuter), a ‘u’ becomes an ‘ü’ (‘a’ becomes ‘ä’, ‘o’ becomes ‘ö’), and the ending -chen is added.

E.g. Haar (hair) becomes Härchen, the ä is pronounced the same as the a in man, but long. In contrast, Herrchen (as in owner of a pet) is pronounced basically the same but with a small short vocal and a sharply pronounced r.

Hope that helps.

Edit: If you know how to pronounce a/o/u, you already know what your lips must do for ä/ö/ü. However the tongue and lower jar make for a different sound.

It’s more the other way around really. We hope she’ll get bigger so that she outgrows her hind leg issues.

Mayhem is her middle name. She’s 3.5 kg, but pure muscle and at times even stronger than Koda (4.5 kg). Looking forward to her jumping skills. Currently she is showing me that she trusts me:
