What Tiger's Wearing Today

Obviously this is the cutest thing in the entire world. It's an actual collar so you can clip a leash to it which is fantastic. There are also some other colors. Made by Loyal Luxe.

They Grow Up So Fast

Puppykins goes to daycare during the day now. He loves it and gets so much energy out that he's just a sweet little muffin in the evenings. After he wrestles with Javier for a good half hour that is.

One of my favorite things about his daycare is that they have built in "nanny cams." I can peek in on him while I'm at work and see how he's doing and what he's doing and who he's playing with. Here are some of my spying moments...

He's the tiny one.






The quality isn't great I know but it's the content that matters. And even if it is a little blurry I can definitely tell Little Man is holding his own. I actually have to be careful not to laugh at him while at work because sometimes I check in and all the other dogs are laying down while he bounces around looking for someone to play with.

Best Guy Ever

I'll be honest, the puppy is a lot more fun than the cat. He wants to play and he gets excited to see me and follows me around and has adorable expressions and is so playful then just crashes in my lap. I can take him places and he likes treats and can be accessorized...he's just fun. Cat Face is more of a strong silent type. But Javier is also my first very own pet and so special to me. And I feel so proud of him for being such a good sport in regards to our new addition. Yesterday was Tiger's first day at daycare and it wiped him out. In the evening he was asleep in my lap and Javi was laying next to me sleeping as well and we got to spend a little time together uninterrupted by Crazy Face. Then at bedtime the pets snuggled up together.

Well Baby Check Up

I'm totally becoming one of those people who thinks their dog is their child. Okay, not actually but I'm borderline. I even got all excited about our first trip to the vet together for a check up and shots. I don't think it's healthy to be this giddy and proud over a trip that involves sticking a thermometer up an animal's behind.

Tiger got the last of his DHPP shots, thank baby Jesus for that. Now we can finally play outside! And potty train! And go to daycare! He also got Bordetella and some other thing that keeps him from getting sick if he happens to be somewhere where rodents have peed.

I know. Owning a dog just keeps getting grosser and grosser.

He was a total champ though. Except when we were paying. There was a big giant Lassie dog there and they were sniffing around each other and Tiger got excited so he peed. Of course. And the big dog decided to mark his territory too. On top of Tiger's territory. So basically they made a giant puddle of combined urine.

He's a bit lethargic now and super cuddly. I may get him shots every day. Here are some proud parent photos from our morning.


Obviously everyone loved him. How could you not?


Everything needs to be smelled and explored.





Sleepy Babykins



Okay, true story. I went to this sort of upscale grocery store after our vet trip so I could grab something to bring to work for lunch. Tiger was sleeping and it's cold here today so I left him in the car while I ran in (trust me, he was in not even remote danger of dying). I decided to get him a treat since he was such a good brave guy so I picked up some round rawhide chews. After grabbing those I got some salmon and a pasta salad from the deli and a chai from the coffee counter. While I'm waiting for my drink this happened.
Coffee Guy: What are those? Some new kind of bagel?
Me: No, haha, they're dog treats.
Coffee Guy: What are you going to do with them? Play a prank on a co-worker or something?
Me: No...I have a dog.

Splish Splash

I can't even tell you how happy I am that Javier and Tiger get along. They are so sweet to watch and I honestly don't know what I would have done if they hadn't gotten along. I didn't really have a game plan for that.

Last night while I was watching 16 and Pregnant this happened...


I don't know why but for some reason this video shows my video twice. So halfway through you'll have seen the whole thing. Also it's super adorable to me but you'll probably get the point about 30 seconds or less into it.
