We're not getting a Puppy, and B isn't old enough


Oh....hey...yeah...I kind of bailed huh? Well I had to choose something that had to go for my own sanity, and apparently this was the way I went. That said, it always seems wrong because my posts on here are almost therapeutic. Whatever, let's just start like I didn't disappear for half a year.

Hey! Welcome back to my blog!

So one of the few vlogs I did last year was done the day after we had to put down our baby girl, Alice. After her passing, I said we wouldn't get another dog until Brock was older and able to understand how to properly treat one. And for years, I swore up and down, no puppies...So last Sunday we went and got our new puppy, Eevee.

So what changed? Well when we got Alice, we were a couple, making sure a dog was a good fit for us (and oh wow was she) was much harder when you factor in kids. While I wasn't actively looking, I was looking at shelter pages. 

Between that, and talking with 3 different people either with puppies or dogs, I looked online, thinking I would find nothing...and sitting front and center, I found a 12 week old, whip smart, friendly, partially house trained puppy, who needed to be rehomed quickly. 

This week has seen it's ups and downs. Jake has learned to "be a tree" when she gets jumpy or nippy. I expected a quick bond with me, there was with Alice too. What I didn't expect, was of all people, she would want to be with Brock. Brock is fearless, that's why I expect it's become a thing, but this morning she will not sit with anyone else. 

So pictured above is my "Not old enough" son, with my " Never gonna happen" pup
