Weekend & Puppy Update


Raise your hand if you want to go back and pretend it's Friday again?
 
{Raises hand.}
 
Unfortunately, I don't have any control over that and I'm pretty sure you don't either so it looks like we're stuck with Monday whether we like it or not. Boo.
 
And since we can't go back to the weekend, we can at least revisit it. Can't we?

one. Big beautiful sun on my Saturday morning run. (Y'all know me...I'm a sunrise/sunset chaser for life...)
two. Core challenge I've been doing from Pinterest. Amazing workout! I was definitely feeling it the next day...
three. Getting a little work in...playing catch up from the past couple of weeks.
four. Sneaky peek of this week's SPD link up project! ;)
five. Fresh highlights and a simple spring-inspired outfit! 
six. New spring time pretties from Sam Moon. So cheap...your life will be forever changed! I swear.
seven. New stools for our bar!
eight. Juicing for the week. (Sidenote: I recently discovered that you can freeze juice w/o losing all the nutrients! Who knew?!)
nine. Sunday night movie time with a drug-free Linds Lo. Who knew sweet Hallie from Parent Trap would turn out to be such a tramp?

And, per usual, I saved the best for last...

On late Friday night I got a call from our breeder letting us know our sweet baby girl had been born!!! We weren't expecting the mom to go into labor until late February so you can only imagine how excited we were to find out we'd be getting her 3 weeks sooner! 
Excuse the poor quality pic...this is all the breeder has sent us so far but aren't those little worms just precious?! My heart is so full! (& happy & excited & anxious!)

At 4 weeks old, we'll get to pick out ours and around 7-8 weeks, we get to bring her home so we're looking to have her by early April!

As for the name, well...that's in Beau's hands since it's his pup. While I'd love to call her "Oaklea", Beau is really liking the name "June"...or "Reba" (since she'll have red hair) but this is absolutely without a doubt NOT happening. Period. We're open to options so if you have any non-common, preferably one syllable girl dog names, feel free to leave them in the comments below! I mean, how cool would it be if one of my lucky followers got to name our pup?! Just sayin'...
Link up!

  2. I've been snooping around your Pins lately trying to find some of these workouts. I'm thinking I might get off my butt and attempt one, one of these days. Wish me luck.

    Also, GIMME THOSE BRACELETS!

  3. aww you little pup is going to be so cute!! I am so with you on the pup names, not a fan of people names for dogs.
    cant wait to see what those nails of yours look like. I am sure they are super cute and pink ;)

  4. I actually like the name Reba! That's adorable!!! Sorry, I'm no help.

  5. You should call her "Pink"! I mean its a shade of red, right?! ;)

  6. Oh my Lord! Those puppies are beyond precious! I can't wait to watch her grow!!!

  7. The puppies are so cute! We have always named our animals either after liquor or football.... Asti, Lambeau, Bozworth, and Jack (after Jack Daniels) There are some girly drinks out there.... Tyku, Remy (girl or boy name in my mind) Honey (American Honey). Good luck naming your baby girl!

  8. Oh, how exciting!!! I still am amazed at how much I love lil' Elvis, I didn't think it was possible to love an animal that much, but he just absolutely stole my heart. As for names, I've always loved the name "Lady" for a girl. Of course, lady and the tramp was my favorite Disney movie ever. But Belle and Dixie are always great names for southern loving Texans, like yourself! Saw someone mentioned Remy too, that's a cool name!

  9. Aww, yay for the pup making it here sooner!! Our pups name is Pearl,so rather unconventional & registered as Charlotte Pearl with both our last names, what a diva.

    I'm awful at naming, my suggestion: Ruby if your wanting to stick with "red"

  10. Aww man lights up my heart just a little bit and she's not even mine. Do you think you could smuggle an extra one for me in about 7-8 weeks please? Just put him on a plan straight to Manhattan, I promise he'll be loved.

  15. Yay! Your puppy's here! How cute. I can't wait to see which one y'all pick out.

  16. Our dog's name is Moxie. We actually picked out the name before we picked out the dog but the name completely fits her. My in-laws dog is named Lily which I also like.

    I like the name Ruby as well if you want to stick with the "red head" theme.

  17. So freaking excited for you over the pup! I'm a huge fan of the name Tina for a dog ever since I met a tiny chihuahua one time with that name. And then it's like, oh wait, I have to go get Tina and people legitimately think it's a real person. ....Or maybe I'm just super weird

    1. Tina!! HAHA! This is HYSTERICAL because my chihuahua (who lives with me mom)...her name is Tini and we ALWAYS call her Tina!! LOL! I agree...Tina is totally an appropriate dog name!

  18. Yay for puppy! Our dog's name is Roxy and I call her Roxy-poo and my H calls her Roxanne lol

  19. Oh hey puppy fever. You're officially back in my life now! I actually love the name June (you're welcome Beau). Only because of June Carter Cash! Can't wait to see your baby!

  25. We had a red-head dog growing up and named her Lucy because of it.. (because of Lucille Ball, my Mom was a huge fan of I Love Lucy).. so classic red-head name, and sweet and simple for a girl pup!

    1. LUCY! Genius! Just texted this idea to the husband...dun dun dun...we shall wait and see what he says lol!

  26. Agree with the chicas above who said Belle and Lucy. Those are sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Best idea ever... you should call her "April" since that's when you'll be getting her!

    ReplyDelete

    1. I considered April, too! I LOVE that month...I mean, we got married in April, my bday is in April, we're getting HER in APril! It only makes sense?! Lets see what the man says about this...

  28. Yay for puppies!! Aww, doggies are so much fun! Everyone in our family has named their animals names that start with H...I don't know how this started, it's kinda weird but fun! So there's a Hannah, Holly, Haley, Heather, Heath, and then my pets are named Huckleberry and Herschel! LOL

    We're weird.

  29. Congrats on the puppy! I personally dislike eating veggies & fruit (unless it's in smoothie form), which is so unhealthy, I know! But I do want to give juicing a try! Are there any good juicing recipes you could share that include veggies without the strong veggie taste? I would greatly appreciate it!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yayy about the puppy!! That's so exciting!! I really like the name Maddie, but I'm not sure if that's too common for you guys haha.

    ReplyDelete
  31. How about Annie? ...there's Annie Oakley so you sort of get your name, plus there's "Annie" the musical with red hair... but it's 2 syllables.

    ReplyDelete
  32. My first girl pup will be named Stella. You're more than welcome to steal it if you'd like :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. We named our female basset hound Willow Starr because we got her in Willow City, Texas. Our male was Jasper Moon to match the tree name theme and the Starr and Moon was in keeping with the atmosphere! My son has a RED HEALER - approptiately named Rose! How exciting to be thinking of names for your first born!

  36. Congrats on the dog!! Can't wait to see what you guys end up naming it!! I love the Parent Trap & can't wait to get my hair done this weekend!!

  37. Awww! New puppies are so exciting! Can't wait for LOTS more puppy pics! LOVE the new bar stools and I am pretty sure I need to check this Sam Moon site out... :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. How about: Addy! Like Addison, but Addy for short. June or Ruby are cute too. :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. How exciting about your puppy!!! I need to check out Sam Moon apparently. Those are such cute bracelets!

    ReplyDelete
  40. What about Chloe or Bailey? I like pet names that end in vowel-sounds so when you are screaming for your dog that just ran off you can be that annoying lady saying "BAILLEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!". Lol
