Happy 1st Birthday Minx

My little boy is already a year old. We got this little bundle when he was eight weeks old. He was almost potty trained by then. He was the easiest pup I ever had.

Zoey has been crying and howling at the door…

I even posted a picture I thought he was sick from eating pizza the night before. A ridiculous thought in retrospect. It clicked a little while after. I woke up to Minx chewing on my Afrin nose spray bottle. I just took the…

Minx was brought home

This was so excited. This little nugget. He was giving kisses the second we took him in our arms.

He is just this tiny mush ball.

He hadn’t gone to the bathroom since he boarded the plane over 3 hours before. Thought for sure he’d pee on my daughter. He didn’t. We made a stop to visit family and he pooped outside. He’s 8 weeks. That’s impressive. When we got home I showed him the wee wee, and…
