Well I guess I should introduce myself; my name is Britt and I decided to create a blog to post cute photos of my dog, ask questions, post reviews, and just explain to the world about my everyday life with my pup.
So how did it all start?
Well I would say that I've always loved animals, but I've always been a HUGE fan of dogs. I grew up with a Siberian Husky (named Sydney) who was the sweetest and most friendly dog you could ever imagine... she was also pretty lazy. She never ever wanted to play fetch, and as a kid, that's basically the only reason you want a dog, so she could play with you! Sydney got older and my family ended up having to put her down because she was in a lot of pain.
It wasn't until 7 or 8 years later until my family got another dog. (This was all my doing). Ever since Sydney passed, I wanted another dog, but Mom says "NO! You won't take care of it! The last time you said you would take care of the dog, I ended up having to do everything for it"—notice she uses "it," not "her"—she was probably right though, my brothers and I were not very responsible at the time. But one year (2012 I think), I was working at the community pool and a stray dog wandered into our front office. This is my chance! I thought. I took the dog home, hoping that Mom wouldn't be too upset when she saw me and this adorable pup. I ring the doorbell when I get home and tell my mom "Don't be mad..." and show her the adorable little guy that I'm holding in my arms. Long story short, she wasn't happy at first but moms will be moms and when something grows on them they can't seem to let them go. They kept the puppy, and named him Luke (after Cool Hand Luke, because he escaped 3 or 4 times when they first had him.)
Now I am out of the house and living with my boyfriend, and we had been talking about getting a dog, but I was always hesitant. Then one day in September 2013, my cousin posts 2 pictures of these insanely cute puppies that his girlfriend's dog gave birth to, and they were looking for homes. They were adorable Yellow Labrador Retriever and Siberian Husky mixes (basically the best dog breed out there). After some thought (it didn't take much convincing), we drove up and picked up the cutest little pup you'd ever see. We named her Luna, and now she is my pride and joy. She is my childog, my fur-baby, my princess. (She is very spoiled.) A week from today she will be a year old, she's definitely growing up fast.
Luna Vino (Vino is her middle name), taught us so much. I feel like getting a puppy is one of the best things a couple can do for each other. I could imagine that it is very similar to having a child. You have to potty train her, train her right from wrong, feed her, take her to the doctors, and more. There have been many obstacles that we have had to deal with (like the time she DESTROYED our carpet) but we wouldn't change it for the world. She is our little girl and love her completely.
So that's my story...well some of it...
More stories and adventures to come!
