Storm and Reese Update!

Hi Friends,
It is that time again for me to give you an update on my Fur babies!!! :) If you follow me on IG i love posting and sharing my life about my fur babies. Pure Cuteness, ya can't get mad!

Miss Storm a.k.a Stormy

Doesn't she look so cute!?

Our stormy is gonna be 8 months old in less then two weeks

She is 64lbs as of last week. 

She eats 4-5 cups a food a day

and loves her fruit, so she snacks on bananas, carrots, apples and we tried cucumbers the other day, didn't go over too well. & of course her misc. treats she gets to COME INSIDE lol. 

Storm loves to get on my kitchen counters and steal my towels! She sucks on them. 

This winter has been brutal, to say the least. So shes been cooped up for too long, its time spring comes around so our girl can play outside, get her walks in and go to doggy daycare sometimes. 

She is such a people person, she loves everyone and just wants attention. She thinks shes a lap dog. If ya walk in my house YOU BETTER acknowledge her and love on her or she wont leave ya alone. She has to sniff and give kisses. Some people may not like it but they gotta get over it, OR DON'T COME OVER. :) Most nights she starts in bed with us, but an hour or two later i crate her up, shes too big and too hot LOL. She is still all pup so gotta be patient with her for sure. I love her to pieces! 

next..........

Miss Reese!

My little cutie! 

Reese is older, she will be 8 years old in May I believe. I cant remember the day so i may just make it up haha. i got her summer of 2006 I believe as a little pup who fit in my hands. So little. I need to find pictures and show all my bloggy friends :) She has been at my parents all this time, and we decided to take her, she was my dog it was only fair i should finally give her the love she needs from me. We had to get her all caught up at the vet, it had been awhile. So after an expensive vet visit, shes all up to date and healthy! :) She is 38lbs, the vet changed her food she is eating about 2.5 cups a day, she should lose some weight. Plus once summer gets here i may try to walk her, she does ok on the leash, but never ever have i Walked her. 

She is my little cuddle bug. I love when she cuddles in bed with me or on the couch. She will most def. keep you warm! She follows me everywhere, heck they both do. I can't do anything without me close by. Like i said about storm, she also usually starts the night out in bed with us. They both put off so much heat and sleep on my side of the bed so i gotta put them down when i want to finally get some sleep. Poor Reese puts up a lot with Storm, she beats her up on a daily basis. Anymore i have to let Reese outside by herself to potty or else storm is all over her. They get along, storm just wants to play lol. I am glad she is here with me finally. Tevis is supportive of her being here even if he loves storm more then Reese, I make up for it ;) 

Follow me on Instagram, Britney2989, i post daily of my wonderful life with my fur babies. 

Have a great Tuesday Everyone! 

Halloween- DOGGY STYLE

It's OCTOBER! Which for me means, FALL IS REALLY here! 

I am itching to go buy some fall and Halloween decor. I have yet to do that, so maybe not this year, but it is fun knowing i have MY OWN HOUSE to decorate! 

I don't have a baby to dress up nor will we have Delaney, BUT i do have my cute puppy i could dress up and have a little fun. We always call her the devil puppy, so totally was thinking about buying her a devil costume. Delaney wants her to wear a pirate costume, but devil fits Storm more, haha. Below are some examples, they are cracking me up and are too darn cute Storm is gonna look awesome in her costume. 

This is most definitely storm, she loves toilet paper.

haha i love this one! 

Can't wait to get her costume and show it off to you all. She has another vet appointment Thursday so we will see how much she weights to make sure we can get her the correct size costume. 

Good news, she graduates from puppy class next Wednesday night! Then we start intermediate classes October 21st. So proud of our pup! Tonight's class we started working on "STAY" and then 'sit' and "SHAKE" she can shake like no ones business  she was of course the only one in class who already knew how to do it.   

Here is some more fun comparison of how much storm has grown. 

I just love love my fur baby! 

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! Show me or tell me how your going to dress your fur babies?

Update on Storm Stambaugh! Puppy Love

this is my 160th post, wahoo GO ME! Go enter my giveaway on previous post! 


Saturday we will have had storm for A WHOLE MONTH! wow, lots a lot of sleepless nights i have experienced LOL. Alicia knows what I am talking about, right Brew Mama

this face is hard to resist in the mornings though. I truly love her to death. 

She will be 3 months old September 9th.

Last Friday we took her to the vet, the shot she had to get didn't even phase her, she got a fecal test and didn't even try to bite the vet, haha and then later that night took her medicine like a champ, WHOA i have a good puppy, for now anyways. In December she goes in to get spayed and dew claws come off

On the way to the VET

She was only 18lbs, thought she would be heavier so we had to up her food its hard for puppies to gain weight and we will adjust as she gains. she is eating 1 1/2 cup in the am and the same amount at night about 12 hours in between each other. She goes back in 2 weeks and then 3 weeks after that, and the Vet should be able to tell us how big they estimate she will get. She def. sees Lab in her and we asked about saint Bernard and because of her fur, paws and dew claws she thinks that's a good guess. We could do a DNA test to know 100% sure but Who has time or MONEY for that? We love her no matter what she is.

Look at those LONG legs

Such a pretty girl with her ball, she LOVES playing fetch

Storm is very very playful and bites us like crazy, i love playing with her, especially fetch, i have never had a dog that played fetch. She loves water so we got her a couple little pools. She has her moments where she is on puppy crack and we have to hide from her, haha, she goes nuts. I also love walking her. She starts obedience training Monday September 2nd and I am nervous because i feel like she will be the worst puppy in the class and excited that they will WORK.

Bought her a new toy couple weeks ago, and she would rather play with water bottles

she LOVES her blanky!

We have Delaney every other weekend, usually, sometimes more. Well they don't get a long too well. All Storm wants to do is BITE BITE BITE BITE her. Poor Delaney cant walk without her attacking and wanting to play. I think its because Delaney is more on her "level" and then Delaney screams and cries, or hides in her room. I hope classes will help that, we don't want Delaney scared of Storm. I know it will get better. We have had NO ACCIDENTS all week, wahooo lets keep that up. Oh and Obedience classes start Monday, wish us luck.

She was Pre-Washing, HAHAHA. 

What makes me most happy about Storm, is that our home feels more complete. Tevis is so happy with her which in turn makes me happy. Yes, he can get low patience with her but only when he is trying to walk and shes in the way, he is VERY AFRAID he is gonna fall because of her. Other then that he truly and deeply LOVES her. Just been nice to see him smile and love on her! Melts my heart. Getting a puppy may be hard a lot of work but Its worth it. 

If you follow me on IG, i always post pictures of her and her sleeping positions KILL me!!!! She can never pick a spot and take a nap, she moves around for 15 minutes before she finds a good place and she is always laying on her back, she loves to spread out. We let her sleep with us, we may regret it, ok we probably will. BUT she sleeps SOOO much better with us and i will get my sleep back later on. Bonding with her is more important to us then sleep and this week shes been better on not waking me up every two hours. I thought i would be more annoyed with less sleep but when i open my eyes and see those puppies eyes in my face or feel those paws on my back i sometimes cant help but smile, its a good wake up call :) 

Monday was National Dogs Day! Love your fur babies!

Hope you enjoy Catching up about our Baby Girl Storm :) she truly is a joy to have. I may complain and have attitude towards tevis because I am tired, but he lets me take a nap if hes home. LOVE him for that lol. Happy Friday!!!

Meet STORM

As most of you know from my Instagram or Facebook, WE GOT A PUPPY!!!

 We knew once we moved in to our house we would want a dog. I found Lucky Lab rescue and Adoption and we knew it was going to be a great place to find our new fur baby. I applied back on July 7th and for some reason i wasn't getting contacted back, they never received it so i had to re-do it and then the process was very fast. The puppies had picked out were gone, sadly, but i feel it wasn't mean to be then and when i seen pictures of Mia's Litter and we picked the fluffy one i knew she was going to be a perfect match.

Her momma was unwanted and had 11 puppies, 9 girls, 2 boys. She was at a foster home being very well taken care of. Our baby girl is almost 8 weeks old, mainly lab with some Saint Bernard in her! We are gonna have a big girl on our hands which is exactly what we wanted. Her name is Storm, Tevis is into Bowling and is on staff with Storm Bowling Products so it fits well and he was excited he got to pick the name out.

Saturday night was her first night with us, we were kinda ify on what to do with her, let her sleep with us or crate her. We decided to crate her at first, she slept in there from midnight til 3am, woke up crying, took her outside then back in her crate and she only lasted another hour. So decided to let her sleep with us rest of the night, we were up every two hours it seemed like until 10:30am. We will continue to let her sleep with us, we don't mind for now with having to take her outside so often. Sunday night she fell asleep early in the living room and when we went to bed around midnight, we put her into bed with us and surprisingly i took her at only twice, around 3ish and then again at 630ish. Then we all woke up at 930, i def. felt more rested than yesterday. Our bed is really high for her i am afraid i wont catch her trying to jump off, don't want her to get hurt. Even when she gets bigger, guess at a later point we will need to get a step for her or something. Everything has been going great. Monday has come and total she has had 3 pee accidents since Saturday morning, she goes to the door and we let her out praise her and got some treats too. She had one accident today, but tevis ran the vacuum cleaner and scared her. We are being very persistent with her and its paying off already. She is so smart!

She was a surprise for Delaney we did not tell her where we were going or anything. She was so excited and happy when the lady showed up with PUPPIES! Delaney instantly started playing and liked one certain puppy and it ended up being Storm, YAY!

First family photo :) 

So did you know shes gonna get big? Did you know puppies chew on stuff have accidents outta their control and get into everything? I HAD NO IDEA! (SARCASM) WOW if one more person says "Have fun with that" "shes gonna be big" "puppies are a pain" i am gonna snap someones head off! WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. WE KNOW WHAT KINDA DOG WE WANTED. I've had puppies before, SO darn annoying. Leave us alone judgmental people. JESUS! Ok rant over :) 

Over all everything is going well with her and she is so adorable and lovable and fun to play with and watch her run in the yard. Tevis feels like our home is more complete now so glad he is HAPPY. Delaney loves her and she loves Delaney they are going to be best friends! Enough about Storm for now, i have her whole life to talk and brag about her, so i will leave you with some pictures from yesterday! Enjoy! Happy Tuesday! xoxo

Puppy Fever!

Hi my lovely readers!
I know i have been MIA but bare with me :) most of you know we are busy busy with this house, almost all done, I THINK!

So wanted to share some good news!
We have decided to start looking for a puppy!
I am thrilled to bring a new addition to our little family, as much as I wish it was a baby, i am pretty excited to get a dog though. Tevis has had a dog around almost his whole life, and last year after he got home from the hospital he had say goodbye to his buddy, Houch who was put to sleep i believe her kidneys were failing and she was just getting worse each passing day. So when we moved into this house, he had lived here before with Houch, he finds himself thinking shes here or a dog in general is here. So he thinks a dog will make things COMPLETE :) So i am all for that and I believe it will give him a sense of security with having a dog in the house. I know it will help my anxiety.

So we know we want a large breed dog, we've both had small dogs in the past and gonna change it up.

We've been researching and looking for Labs. We are interested in, Silver, chocolate, yellow ( in that order)   There are two types of labs, English and American.

English labs are heavier, thicker and blockier.
American labs are tall and lanky

Labs are the most popular breed in the USA, they are a true loving, loyal, affectionate and patient family dog. They are highly intelligent, good natured and eager to learn and please. I know from experience they can be hyper first few years but with the right training and attention from us we are ready for this challenge. I am tired of the comments, "why a lab?" "they are annoying" "too hyper" etc etc. Once again people can surely have their opinions, but ahhh so annoying, our life, our decision. This is what we want, they are GREAT DOGS! I know they are an energetic dog and i am willing to take her on walks and she will have a GREAT big backyard to play in :) I know Delaney will be willing to go on walks with me as well, great exercise too. I can't wait to share with you all when we finally get her, yes we want a female :) And as of right now, we have Storm as a name. Has to do with BOWLING, so it fits with our family and I am loving it.

I hope everyone has a great Friday! & bare with me on my blog design, it will all change soon, I hope. At least its not too ugly to look at! XOXO
