Three Years

Favorite Activity - Looking out the window all day
Sometimes it's hard to imagine a time when our floof was not a part of our family. Wednesday marked three years since we got to bring her home.

At the end of 2016, we knew we were ready for another dog and started to look into various rescues. J really wanted a pug, which is his ultimate favorite dog in the world. We applied and had a home visit, and then never heard back from the rescue. It was was disappointing in the least and completely frustrating compared to the experience I had when I went through a rescue for my little guy.

As we waited to hear from the pug rescue, we decided to check out local shelters in our area. We decided to keep an open mind when it came to type of dog, as long as it was on the small/medium size. 

We visited two shelters, and fell in love at the second one. Our floof was brand new to the shelter and didn't even have her picture in their book yet. Love at first site and we filled out the application papers that same day. 

We anxiously waited two weeks to find out if she was ours. We had to bring our little guy for a meet & greet and have a home visit. We weren't the only family to apply for her. We got the call on a Thursday afternoon, while I was in the throws of the flu, that the floof was ours. 

She made herself right at home, and we also realized she is a runner. Can't let that girl out of the house without a leash to save your life or you'll be chasing her down the block. Despite her love of running she is the best and happiest dog. She definitely makes life interesting.

Introduction - Our Family

I wanted to use this blog as a way to document our family as it grows and to be able to look back at all the amazing things that have happened. I probably should have started this when we became pregnant with our daughter EV in 2018, but life has a way of doing its' own thing. J, my husband, and I have been together for 11 years - 4 of which have been marital bliss. We met in college, survived 6 years being in a long distance relationship, and have been killing it since settling down in our current town, which happens to be my home town. Our little family was just the two of us, and my chiweenie. In 2017, we added another dog to the mix and became a family of four. Going from having a little dog that is essentially a shadow to a hyper mutt that needs all the attention was quite the adjustment. I honestly loved that my little guy decided he loved our new dog enough that he actually plays with her. Unheard prior to the nut joining our family.  After being married for two years,...

Therapies, therapies, therapies

We never knew or realized how much of a role therapy would play in our lives. When you are expecting your first child you never think about anything other than bringing a healthy child into the world and helping them learn and grow.  I am thankful that we have an amazing group of doctors and therapists. I don't know where we would be without them.  EV has occupational therapy (OT) working on her fine motor skills and physical therapy (PT) working on her gross motor skills. It amazes us how much more she can do after 5 months of therapy.  I do admit the process of getting into therapy took some time and it does feel like we are playing catch up. Despite all of that, our little girl is killing it.  Here's to more growth every day and facing all of our challenges head on. EV may be small but she is mighty.
