One Week In

It's been a week and 1 day since we got our new bundle of joy! And she is pure joy! I was optimistic Landon would adore having a "dog" sibling. I was right! As each day goes by he enjoys her more and more! As for her, each day that goes by she gets more comfortable in her new family and home.  On the Piper front, she likely fails to see the benefit of another havanese, but she is acting normal. She has not gone into hiding or anything like that. This little one has blended into the family very nicely so far.

So what is her name...welcome to our family...Scarlet Mia Vaughn!  In the end we went with Scarlet! Oh my, oh my! We mentioned months and months ago...probably back in November that the little girl would be named Scarlet. Then along about early February(before we knew of this little one) I started to change my mind. I was fearful of the haters! Fearful of those that would laugh and make comments based on the fact that I am so known for loving the color red. Worried that people would say..."oh of course she named the first girl dog she got Scarlet, she's so RED obsessed!" Well let the jokes begin! I finally came to the conclusion....I don't give a darn! So what...I love the color red and now we have a little girl named Scarlet. And yes, notice I even chose to spell it with only one T and not 2. Because scarlet is the color way to spell it. Scarlett is usually how most people spell it when using it as a name. We're going all the way with it...Scarlet just like the actual color! We spent all last week obsessing about names. Trying out and vetoing names rapidly. Finally yesterday morning after living with this nameless baby girl for a full week, the name Scarlet popped into my head as the first thought in my mind when I woke up. At that very moment it was a done deal! 

So the trio now consists of: Piper Ava, Landon Leo, and Scarlet Mia.  They all have English origin names and they all have 3-letter middle names.  

Officially introducing little Scarlet...

National Sibling Day!

 

Today is national siblings day! So thank you, Piper, for being my sis. For putting up with me. I'm actually quite easy to put up with. Oh, okay so I'm a little rowdy. Duh, I'm a boy! But Piper handles me well. 

To my future little sis...I can hardly wait to meet ya! I know we will be best friends. 

And notice in this pic above there's lots of space between Piper and I...that space will be filled by little Miss Apple Dumpling very soon!

The Weekend

It's the weekend before little Miss Strawberry Shortcake arrives. Are we ready? Yes and no! She doesn't have a bed, food, a harness, puppy pads, or puppy training treats. But she comes into a house full of love that's ready to welcome her. Those things she needs can be ordered and here in a jiffy, so momma is not worried. We had nothing for Landon when he arrived. I didn't know he was arriving. But one quick trip to Petco and all was solved.

A quiet weekend before the chaos of a trio of pets begins. How will Landon react? How will Piper react? It's going to be an adventure. Landon is so easygoing, I don't anticipate any issues with him. Piper, is going to be like...oh, crap they multiplied! Then she'll run and hide for 6 months.

I talked to the breeder the other day, she says our little one is the sweetest of the bunch. That was good to hear. I said to the breeder, "she will be the sibling to havanese Landon". The breeder then said, "Landon from Instagram?" I then replied, "yes, that's him!" Breeder then said, "I know who he is and I follow him daily." 

Oh my, I wasn't expecting those replies when I just happened to mention Landon. The breeder and I then joked about him and his sunglass wearing obsession. Hopefully, his sister is up for wearing sunglasses too. 

Have a good weekend everyone! We will enjoy some movie watching and game playing mostly!  

Playing Catch Up

Mom was too busy on Sunday to post something for Easter. Mercy me! So here I am playing catch up on the blog! For Easter, we ended up going to Aunt Donna's house. I got to meet some of my furry cousins and human cousins too. I was the only boy out of all the furry cousins. I even met my newest cousin that is a 6 months old female bulldog named Harlie. Yes, a girl named Harlie. Anyway, she's already bigger than me so it took me awhile to warm up to her. However, my cousin Addy, was my fave, but don't tell anyone else I said that. Addy and I are of similar breeds and we just seemed to recognize that about each other. Addy is part Bichon which is the cousin breed to Havanese, so we got along from the very moment we laid eyes on each other. It was such a fun Easter! Hope you all had just as much fun as I did! 

Below are some Easter pics that were posted on Instagram this past Sunday. Little Miss Snickerdoodle comes home in 11 days! Countdown on IG begins tomorrow!
