Boy Where Did Time Go!?

So it has been one hot minute since I have posted! Life has gotten a tad more hectic by 4 paws!

Well, to catch ya up! I have been permanently working in a beautifully chaotic internal medicine office for about 2 weeks now! I love it! I am exhausted but the day flies and I am learning so much! I love my work family and the doctor that I work for is quirky like me so it's a great fit!
My partner and I!
If you know me, then you know I've been dying to become a dog mom! I had tried when we were renting but pet deposits were ridiculous! Well, a few weeks ago, Brad spotted a pup during Mount Dora art fest. He was a guide dog for his owner, super mellow and a very beautiful puppy. He was a Boykin Spaniel, Brad was hooked and I was taking full advantage of him actually deciding on a breed! After researching, we found a breeder and before Brad knew it, I was putting down a deposit on our new fur baby! Brad tried to say he wasn't excited, but since little one has joined our family he's been loving it!
Sweet boys

Our nugget!
A Boykin Spaniel is a rare pup out of South Caroline, there were actually no breeders in Florida, we went through a highly recommended breeder out of Dallas, GA KJW Kennels. I was lucky enough to get the last male, I don't do girl pups, I'm the only bitch in this house! haha! I drove up to meet the breeder in Perry, GA almost two weeks ago. Boy, the ride home was a doozy but completely worth it!!

We are in love with our little dude and can't wait til he's older! He's super smart, they're bred to be retrievers for ducks and waterfowl. I am looking to getting past the puppy stage (especially the nipping and biting) to the 6 month old stage! He is such a good boy! I thought of the name Trigger, Brad loved it and it fits him. He was 5 weeks and 5 days old when we got him, he has kept us busy! He is progressing well, he is doing well with potty training, can sit on command (when he wants to), loves going out on adventures with us, and it getting better with rides in the car! So glad we decided to go for it!!
Praise Jesus!!



Weirdo loves to sleep in odd places

He's a Gator (duh!!)

My sweet boy
I will be posting like a crazy dog mom of course! Stay tuned!!!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Tired AF

Evidently if you were born between 1981 & 1996, you're a millennial so I figured I would used the "AF" instead of swearing. Do you ever feel like you're just tired of just about everything? Well, that is me the past couple weeks! Just tired of being exhausted with the two consecutive low readings this week between 1 and 4am. Tired of stressing about finances, future & the other F word. Just wanting and needing a break before hitting the ceiling?? Well, welcome to my world this MONTH! Last week, I had one of those good cries. One of those turn the music up, run the bath, wine induced, good Lord save me cries. Where you feel sorry for yourself, want to change everything and move out of the country to your own island moments. This is something most women do on a random basis and, to be honest, it is extremely healthy. I mentioned the "Pancreas Pals" podcast last post and it has truly helped me so much mentally. https://pancreaspals.com/catego...

Lil' Tid Bits

Happy FriYay!!    All week I was trying to think of the best ways to show different tutorials. I toyed with the idea of a YouTube channel, I actually have one video currently posted that I need to properly edit. But for the most part, I truly believe that I am currently enjoying just photos so you'll have to be patient until my skills get a bit of fine tuning!  We tend to have "Crest Kid" smiles! I have my Beau home until Monday and then our insanity starts again. Being that this is still semi-new in our household, I still struggle with being alone a majority of the time. I believe that while you're alone, you're forced to face your own demons that normally aren't on the surface. Being busy has been the easiest way for me to avoid dealing with some personal issues. But, as it was evidently bound to, my mind finally place all these things in my focus and I was forced to face them. I don't know if this is just me, but independence has always had s...
