Early Mornings

I, typically a very long and deep sleeper, have changed patters with the advent of Moxie in our lives. 

No longer am I going to bed ridiculously early, nor am I oversleeping or going into a "night night coma." It's actually quite nice.  

Instead, I'm totally fine on less time asleep and am finding that I'm up quite early in the mornings. Often well before dawn. 

While I could complain a bit, I'm enjoying this change for many reasons. One of which is to witness some gorgeous sun rises as of late. 

Here are just a few:

The Whole World is Smiling

Among other cards, I received this adorable one from The Lady (my mom), which perfectly states what it's like for me to have a new pup.

Isn't that the truth!

Moxie Loves Basil

This little pup is oh so happy with a piece of basil in her mouth.

Another favorite thing is hopping on to the terrace, gently plucking a basil leaf and playing with it until nearly dissolved!

Here she is with a piece of basil in mouth. 

From some Googling, I learned that basil is fine for dogs to eat (of course, I checked before permitting her to do this). In fact, it had some positive mood altering properties and can help with arthritis too (fortunately she's a young pup and we don't have to worry about that).

Here she is, grabbing a bit and having a ball.

And another one!

I love that she loves healthy, fun and pup-proved snacks (see what I did there? Hehe). Frozen carrots, celery and now basil.

Three Months Old Today

Miss Moxie is getting big, and today marks three months of her being on earth. 

We've had her just a short three weeks and are absolutely in love. It's amazing what joy a little furry thing can bring. 

She's growing so fast, making us laugh, and bringing out feelings I've never known. 

How lucky are we?!

Frozen Fun

This little pup loves her frozen carrots.

She plays and prances around them, until the deep freeze wears off.

Then she quickly devours her orange treasure.

A fun and healthy snack!

Here she is, in action...

Shopping for Moxie

Those who know me, understand that I'm quite fond of shopping. Maybe a little too much.

So it's no surprise that my "hobby" has extended to miss Moxie.

As you can see, I went a bit nuts with four monogrammed snuggle blankets (three behind her and one below). 

What can I say, this mom loves to shop. And this baby loves her blankies. 

Thanks to Land of Nod for making such great snuggle blankets. 

Moxie's Getting Social

This little pup is beefing up her social media presence and we're proud to announce her Instagram account and Twitter feed.

You can find her at Moxie_The_Frenchie on Insta, and @GotMoxieMarie on Twitter.

When it comes to Instagram, you can expect lots of pictures. If you're a big fan of puppies, Frenchies and particularly Moxie, you're in for photos galore from her crazy dog mom.

And on Twitter, we'll be sharing our blog posts, RT-ing good Frenchie news and gossip and sharing short updates on our adventures.

So follow along with the fun and we'll be sure to keep the pics and posts coming!
