Announcements

So excited with our new addition, the "baby," I couldn't resist the urge to purchase some announcement cards heralding Miss Moxie (just like the human moms do).

After browsing around a few online shops, I found a great design from Photo Affections. And of course I had plenty of pics to choose from, since I'm obsessively documenting this pup.

I quickly decided on my template, images and added some simply little copy with the details. 

I was thrilled to get the cards quickly and promptly sent them out. 

They're being well received - and friend and family are loving the announcements.

The Bark Street Journal

Our intelligent pup loves to "read" (or bite) the dog version of the WSJ, The Bark Street Journal, published by Dog Jones & Co.

We get a good laugh from it, especially since it happens to be my place of employment! 

Here she is with her daily digest. 

Lobsta

Moxie had friends over last weekend and they brought the cutest gifts - one of which is a rope lobster that she's obsessed with.

She likes to fetch it, wrastle with it and of course, snuggle too. 

Gratuitous Cute Pics

This pup is just too damn cute and I have a few pics that are worthy of a short post.

As others have pointed out, she's quite the little dog model and is getting good at posing for pretty pictures. It also helps that I'm talking gibberish or making funny noises to accompany this practice. 

So without further adieu, here's your daily cute. 

New Bed

Someone got a new bed yesterday, as the previously one just wasn't a hit. 

Retiring the fleece ball bed, we opted for a more classic style, which was well received and now a favorite. 

Moxie was quick to hop in this new day bed and loves sleeping in it. In fact, she likes it so much, she tries to persuade us to let her spend the night following many late-night bathroom trips. 

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!
