I want to thank all my family and friends who helped me get Minx. It is always devastating losing a dog and the passing of my Marshmallow was exactly that. Marshmallow was my shadow for 11 years and losing him left a very big whole in my heart. Looking for puppies actually was the one thing that helped. I knew I would never find another Marshmallow , but I knew I wanted another dog. I jumped around from breed to…
This was a weekend of great ideas and completely mindless moments. I thought I’d share them all for you: I pulled a muscle in my butt. In my stronger leg. I was stretching in a simple position. As soon as I pulled the leg up, I felt it. No big deal except, this is normally the favored leg to push myself up to stand with. That move is freaking painful. However, I kind of don’t have a choice. It has…
Do puppies have a terrible two? If they’re seven years to our one year, does that mean around three months that’s where these terrible two’s would start? Minxs was a pain in the ass yesterday. My daughter had a friend over, the dogs were super excited. As we were making our way to bedtime, they both got all riled up. Eventually Zoey settle down, Minx did not. I tried everything to calm him down, it wasn’t happening. I finally had…
It seems like I’m gonna have a new ritual on Saturdays: work out then put on F1 practice runs while blogging. I am so happy I got my money back from the F1 TV pro upgrade because this dope over here gets all the races on ESPN either live or on demand anyway. I could just watch my F2 races at some other point during the week with my basic F1 TV plan. I like to see the up and…
My dad sent me an article about “best friend investments”. It wasn’t talking about human relationships. The article was literally about investing in pet related stocks. They gave a numerical figure, “in the US pet products are a $95.7 billion dollars industry.” I didn’t find that shocking. All I have to do is look around my house to comprehend that figure. However my favorite line was; “pets are making the transition from luxuries to necessities.” I don’t know if I…
The clock is reading 6:34am. I have already cleared both puppy areas, cleaned pooper scooper, fed both dogs (twice because I knocked over Minx’s bowl to which Zoey consumed more than a fair share) and started a load of laundry. This morning it was Zoey who was awake before Minx. When she woke Minx she wanted to play. Try to stop a French bulldog and a puppy from playing. Very unlike my Zoey yet there she was sprite as a…
So this wonderful amazing little puppy Minx, Minx is super puppy kept me up all night last night. He was crying all night long. He was even crying as he slept. I did a bad thing, at 4:30 I just couldn’t take it anymore and I let him sleep in the bed with Zoey and I. He has so few accidents, isn’t that why he is in the crate to begin with? Just like his crate, there was not a…
This puppy is definitely the best puppy ever. He knows the wee wee pad and uses it by himself even when he’s playing. I wrote to my breeder, obviously amazed, she explained that they don’t “demand” the use but they try to introduce it with all their puppies. This little thing got the instructions and is already on point. He is 8 1/2 weeks old. He is even sleeping great. I took him to the pad at 2:30am and then…
This was so excited. This little nugget. He was giving kisses the second we took him in our arms. He is just this tiny mush ball. He hadn’t gone to the bathroom since he boarded the plane over 3 hours before. Thought for sure he’d pee on my daughter. He didn’t. We made a stop to visit family and he pooped outside. He’s 8 weeks. That’s impressive. When we got home I showed him the wee wee, and Minx did…
My new puppy, Minx, will not be here now until Wednesday. Only a day later,not a big deal, but we are excited. I did get new videos. He’s getting big… Zoey normally has the best reaction. She tilts her head while looking at me. Every time I try to video her reaction she doesn’t do it, but this was cute. I’m still doing my fundraiser on Facebook, I’m close to my goal. https://www.facebook.com/donate/269271657770872/269271671104204/. I can’t begin to thank all the…
