Buddies!

Aren't they cute? They weren't always such good buddies!

When we first brought Addison home from the hospital, our dog Trip wasn't so sure what to think of her. In fact, he was downright terrified of her! It was the first time he'd really seen a "mini" human.

 

He was so scared, he wouldn't move off his bed. He wanted to be as far away from her as possible! 

 Eventually, his curiosity got the best of him and he decided to check her out. Once he decided she wasn't so scary, he fell in love with her!

 

 Now they are buddies for life!

 

And you hardly ever see the two of them apart! 

 Wherever Addison is, you are almost sure to find Trip!

  

P.S. I just had to show you this picture of Addison conked out in her jumper! It was too cute not to share! :) 

Enjoy your long weekend!

Introducing Trip! :D

Good evening everyone! So yeah, I am the world's worst blogger. I win the award! :) Anyway, I wanted to update you all by letting you know that we did get a wonderful puppy for Christmas from my parents! His name is Trip and he is an English Springer Spaniel. He is seriously one of the neatest puppies we have ever had! He's well-behaved and unusually calm (most of the time)! Anyway, in order to introduce him to you I decided to put a video together. It's my first real YouTube video so go easy on me! :)

Our Newest Addition

I know it’s been awhile since I have posted. Things have gotten pretty crazy with moving and everything. I promise to show pictures of our house SOON! Anyway, when Nick and I were renting we were not allowed to have any pets of any kind (well, except fish) so we were SUPER excited about being able to FINALLY have the option of owning a pet once we bought our new house. Both of us thought that the first pet we would own would be a new puppy and that almost happened but we have to be patient with that one (hopefully one will be arriving in time for Christmas). However, we NEVER thought we would own a cat, especially a grown one! In fact, Nick didn’t even like cats! It’s funny how quickly your mind can change. Anyway, it all started at our old house. This pretty cat started sleeping on our deck everyday and since she always looked hungry, we decided to set out some food for her. Eventually she never left and kind of adopted us. Nick was a little hesitant to all of this at first but once he saw how sweet she was, he decided she wasn’t so bad! We started letting her warm up in the house for a few hours at a time (gasp!) and once we had officially moved, we felt it would be best if we just moved her with us! The car ride was less than favorable for her but once she got here, she never left our yard! In fact, we have officially decided that she is going to be a house cat (which I vowed would never happen) and she doesn’t like going outside much! Haha! She is so incredibly sweet and we absolutely love her! Nick even adores here! We have decided to name her Sophie (since she loves laying on the sofa, hehe) and have really enjoyed cuddling with her. She is a very calm cat and LOVES to sleep! Haha! Her current favorite place to lay is underneath our Christmas tree although I think she could sleep almost anywhere! Here are a few pictures that my husband took. He and Sophie have been able to hang out every day the past few weeks because he is currently out of work due to the weather. We are praying that changes VERY soon! They have both appreciated the company though!

Kitties!

Last week Monday my husband and I stumbled across two baby kittens that had been dumped near our house. We decided to then pick them up and take them home even though we aren’t really supposed to have any pets. We figured it wouldn’t be too difficult to find good homes for them but for some reason we have been struggling! Part of the problem is that I really don’t want to give them away. They are so stinkin’ cute! We have really enjoyed playing with them every evening before going to bed and it has been a blast watching them grow. When we picked them up they could hardly walk and were too young to eat solid foods. We were worried that they might not survive since they should have still been with their mama. However, after a lot of patience through trial and error, we were able to find some solid kitten foods that they could eat. Ever since then, they have grown like weeds and we are amazed at the strength they have gained!

Here are some pictures that I took of them while I was working in my garden. I hate leaving them alone so I bring them out with me. They love to lay in the sunshine!

Aren’t they adorable? I have just fallen in love with them! They are so lovable and cuddly! Nick says he hates cats but then I see him play with them and I know better! I am still hoping we can possibly keep one but I am not sure it will happen. One can dream right?
