Guess Who’s Back!

WELL HELLO, STRANGER.

Did you miss me? This hiatus has been a little ridiculous! I have so many updates, I’m not even quite sure where to start!

Well let’s start with this:

This week, our little family got considerably furrier.

After a LOT of thinking and talking and hypothesizing and number-crunching, Bryan and I finally decided that we were ready (or at least as ready as we’d ever be!) to welcome a doggy into our lives.

Honestly, until very recently, I have been pretty ignorant about animal rescues. In fact, until very recently, I had certain dog breeds in mind that I thought we could check out breeders for. And then one day (thank God), something clicked and I started looking at local pounds. For who KNOWS what reason, the variety of dogs that were available for adoption was shocking to me: big dogs, small dogs, in-between dogs, purebred dogs, mixed breed dogs, young dogs, dog dogs, older dogs and they all needed homes so desperately! (Yes, I realize that I sounded a little bit like Dr. Seuss right there…) Right then, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t adopt.

Can I tell you that going to a pound to adopt a dog was one of the hardest things that I have ever done? We knew right away that this little girl would be the perfect fit for us, but naturally, I couldn’t leave without giving ALL of the possible pups tons and TONS of love and attention. (Seriously, it was awful, they were all so sweet and friendly and unique! That very first day, we met our sweet puppy. Two days later, we brought her home and the rest is history! She is sweet and playful and loving and a ridiculously good listener. We have so much to learn, but she’s making it awfully easy!!!

I’m going to try REALLY hard not to turn into a crazy dog lady (or at least not subject you guys to that in blog form….), BUT I can’t promise anything!! Heh. : P

ON an unrelated note, you can also look forward to FAR better photography on the blog from here on out along with a nifty new theme that is in currently in the making!

I am planning for this week is be a bit of a hodge podge of recipes, essays, random update posts, doggy information and crafting business.

I am going to run for now, but please come back soon! (And I will too! I promise.)

xoxo
