Six on Saturday

Yea, yea, I know that isn't a real link up {or at least not that I know of} but I needed a catchy title.

1. You may be feeling like you have no idea what blog you are on and that is because I changed the look of my blog and the name too! "The Crafty Practitioner" just didn't feel right anymore. I closed my etsy shop due to being super busy with my real job and I haven't been feeling crafty at all. This name feels much more ME because wine is my bff.

So, how do you like the new look?

2. I got the new iPhone 6+! I was really nervous that it would be too big but I knew that I had 2 weeks to return it if it wasn't working out between us so I went for it. So this beauty is my new companion:

We are getting along fabulously and so far I am thinking it is a keeper.

3. We are supposed to get our first snow that sticks to the ground here in Columbus, Ohio tomorrow and I cannot wait! Most people are dreading it and complaining profusely but I love snow and I am excited like a 5 year old on christmas eve. Bring it on mother nature!!!

4. Boston, our Vizsla puppy, is a little bit coo-coo. He literally cannot stand the car. He shakes like an earthquake thinking about the car, hides from me in the morning so that I cannot find him to get him to the car and once I do find him, I have to drag him like a 2 year old. It is insane, and I am not even exaggerating. He also drools {if you can even call it that} profusely for the first 20 minutes in the car. Evidence as follows:

So. Dramatic.

5. Justin's engine in his car {a 2010 subaru, WTF!} blew up on a trip for work and he was stuck in Maryland. We now have to pay for a whole new engine before the holidays. Are you kidding me?!

6. So happy to be back to blogging, I missed it. Sometimes a facelift is all I need!

Mighty Mighty Boston

Back in September we added another member to our family! This is Boston Olivander Daniel, he is a Vizsla. He was 12 weeks old when I picked him up from the breeder and he was a ball of sweetness. I did a lot of research about what kind of dog we should add to our family. I wanted a "bigger" dog, we have always had smaller ones, and I knew that because of the size I needed to find a breed that would be a good fit for our family.

After all my research I really must say I don't think there is anything more fit for our family than a Vizsla. 

On the ride home from the breeder.

Can you say precious?!

 Bella is always a great puppy-sister so we knew should would do great. She did, as usual! She was so excited to meet him and sniff him and welcome him to the house. She showed him all the mischief he can get into and just how much she likes to bark, thankfully Boston thinks the barking is unnecessary (seriously, thank you God!!!!).

 

Napping on the couch his first night home.

We really didn't plan to get our new family member as a PUPPY but when I decided on this breed I just couldn't find a young adult to adopt so we had to. Let me tell you, puppies are so hard and so much work. Boston does NOT like the crate that well and was lonesome his first night so he slept in bed with us and has ever since (spoiled!).
