1 months later…

I forgot how much no time I have when working full-time.

Anyway. It’s been a month since Maia came and now that she is fully vaccinated, she can play with other dogs and she LOVES to play! She doesn’t like to be alone at all and it’s been such a challenging thing for both Maia and us… we were always coming home to a disaster every time we left her alone and this week, we both have a full-time job and I just couldn’t leave her alone for 8-10 hours so she is now going to a dog day care. She had a great time today and she is exhausted! I feel like a total mom now; wake up, take Maia outside, feed her breakfast, get ready, go to the daycare to drop her off, go to work, work away all day and then come pick her up, feed her dinner… How does all the mom in the world do this everyday?!

Sleepy Maia – she is lazy sometimes.

St. Patty’s Day

Randy is an Irish so we try to do something Irish on St. Patty’s Day and so we went to this Irish pub in Park Slope last night (with Maia in a bag,) hoping that they also serve some food… and they did! for free! Corn beef, cabbage, and Guinness. We were so happy. It was a fun neighborhood pub, too. Park Slope is great.

DIY :: Dog Bed

I’ve been looking for a cute bed for Maia ever since she came, but it’s been hard to find the perfect one. (I’m looking for a dog bag right now, but it is hard to find the one!) And then, I thought, maybe I should make it with:

• 2 pillows that Randy wanted to throw away years ago
• my bed sheet that I used to use when I was in college
• stuffing left overs from my wedding craft

and I finally finished it! It took me a little bit, my sewing machine’s needle broke, had to order it, wait for it and I messed up a little so had to redo some parts… but I did it! Maia seems to like it, too! She looks like a princess on this bed. haha

3 Weeks Later…

It’s been 3 weeks since Maia came.

Her ear sometimes flips and we have to flip it back for her because she doesn’t do it.

She stretches like this and keeps sitting funny like this for a while.

She’s got a new red hoodie and a new collar.

I swear she’s gotten longer!

She wonders what I’m doing…

She continues to sleep funny, too.
