welcome to my internet home. this blog used to be cool, with insights about mental health, social policy, pop culture and the like. now, it's a chaotic collection of my mis-spelled, scribbled-down notes on motherhood (who has time to proof read?). it's over-ran with goldfish cracker crumbles, slobery wet kisses, and un-edited pictures. and i would have it no other way. feel free to laugh and cry along side me while I balance a practice (mental heath) and motherhood, and their interconectedness

Ty

We added a new addition to our home on Saturday!!! After a few weeks of relentless begging and researching, Todd consented to getting a dog. He's always wanted us to have one but wasn't sure about having one in the apt. Since we will be moving in 2-3 months, we decided we could get one! I love him so much. He's the cutest thing on this planet. We found him on KSL. The seller owns the mom and dad, which we got to meet. They were so cute and fun.

Ty is an 8-week old
Jack Russell Terrier pure bread (but not papered). We've had him for three days now and he is seriously the cutest thing on the planet. He is doing quite well with the potty training. We had him inside for about four hours the first day, then took him outside and he went #2, came back in and didn't have any more pooh accidents. He peed twice though. He is also so cuddly and cute! He is such a people person and sooo needy. Its adorable. When we got home the first day, we explored the apt and then sat on the couch to eat dinner. He whined bc he wanted to sit with us. Then, I sat on the bed and he whined to get up with me. Both nights he has slept on top of Todd. He loves Todd so much (I'm jealous). But he seriously has to be sucked to Todd's side while he sleeps. they kinda SPOON! Ty is so cuddly but he also has a LOT of energy. He and I literally run back and forth the grass stretching the complex. Over and over again. He never tires. I do though! He also likes to bite and eat stuff. Hopefully he grows out of it bc its not cool when he wakes up at four am to bite our toes, etc. Other fun highlights were the trip to Petco with him to get toys, meeting his Aunt Shauna, uncle Scott and cousin Jessy, and feeding him a bit of human food.
