I have been keeping a secret!
Yes! I have!
If you follow me on Instagram
or Facebook
you already know about IT
but I know
there are several bloggers
that don't do IG or FB.
So, for those of you that follow my blog-
MEET BUDDY!
He is my new best friend.
An all black cockapoo that is
9 weeks old.
He is a gift from my son and his wife.
He was born in Missouri 3 days after my birthday
in December.
We picked him up a week ago today.
I already can't imagine our lives
without his sweet little
shark-like biting naughty face.
As you can see he is
IN STARBUCKS TRAINING SCHOOL.
A teaspoon of whipped cream a day
in his own Starbucks cup.
Ain't life grand?
He has been really good for
MyHero.
John especially likes it when I put him
on the bed in the morning and
Buddy takes his bluetooth out of his ear
and pulls his sleep mask down.
It's a regular circus around here.
On another note we had our
SECOND COVID VACCINATION
yesterday.
We followed Dr. Chris's advice and
drank LOTS and LOTS of water
before the vaccine was administered
and lots of water and GATORADE
right afterwards.
I only have a slightly sore arm and
MyHero has a little "bite" at the
injection site.
Maybe we are all on our way to
healing and reconnecting someday soon.
I will keep you posted on our
PUPPYLOVE PROJECT.
Bear with me on visiting-
I am potty training "the baby"
and playing NEW MOM again!
What a precious and fun bundle of love! I am so happy you are enjoying your sweet puppy! I can imagine he is good company for your hubby, and lots of fun "work" for YOU! Potty training a puppy is a major project. I remember doing that, and it is probably why I won't ever get another puppy unless someone or some puppy tugs at my heartstrings and I just can't help it. I will just have to enjoy yours from a distance, and our two grand-puppies who live a mile away. Congratulations!! Your puppy is one lucky dog!!
ReplyDeleteBuddy is so blame cute! Oh I can feel the teeth just hearing about it! You know it will be great you're certain to remember his birthday! How cool is that? Wonderful gift from the kids!

I'm so happy that you have a new furry family member! He's absolutely adorable! Life is always better with a dog! Looking forward to hearing about all his antics! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOMG, He is adorable. Such a sweet little face. This takes me back to my very first dog. I was only about 8 and she was a brown cockapoo. She was a real sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he adorable! Yes, I imagine he will keep you occupied, Diana! Did you have a dog when the kids were little? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteLoving your new “Baby Buddy!”
ReplyDeleteHappy hubs and Buddy are bonding as well.
(Smiling at sharp teeth, potty training and Starbucks whip!)
He looks so adorable . . .
He's such a handsome fella. I can see that John and Buddy have hit it off.
ReplyDeleteyou KNOW how much I love Buddy just from 2 photos. he will be smart as a whip, bob had a pickapoo that looked like Buddy does. he said he was the smartess dog he ever had until we got Beau who is truly the smartest we have ever had. so glad your hero loves him and let the PHUN times begin
ReplyDeleteOh, Diana, how wonderful and how cute. Just looking at a puppy does something to our all over good mood. They are work, but worth it for all the love that you will receive from this precious pup.
ReplyDeleteBuddy is adorable! And he'll keep you both on your toes, I bet! Glad you're both fully vaccinated now, must be a relief.
ReplyDeleteHi Diana! What a sweet post! It sure looks like you’ve found a treasure with Buddy. Can dogs look any sweeter? :-) Buddy makes me smile ... he reminds me of my first dog I had back when I was just a kid. I so loved that dog. Diana, I really enjoy the design of your blog. You have such a neat way of putting the pics and descriptions together. And I especially appreciate the humor. Wow, we sure need that these days. So happy for you and Hero John about getting the vaccine. Blessings to both of you. Thank you for your kind words on my blog. Have a great weekend, take care, and stay safe. John
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cute pup!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cute pup!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture I thought Nana has a real dog, then when I read the name I realized you had only half a real dog. LOL My most favorite dog in the world was ACE my Black Cocker Spaniel. That was a long time before the Cockapoo methinks. BUT Buddy is close enough and beautiful I could just hug him to pieces. Enjoy the dude, I know you all will. Just the pictures caused my mind to wander, SWEET, and THANKS.

Congrats on the new addition to your family. He is adorable. Good luck to both of you !
ReplyDeleteHey Diana,
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute dog and I am sure he is only a BIT spoiled by you and your hero!!
That's good to know about drinking water and gator-aid when you get the vaccine, if I am ever able to get one I will remember.
Take care !!
What a darling Pup!! Enjoy your "project"....they can be a hand full....but oh so rewarding.....
ReplyDeleteNancy
Just darling!! What a cutie. Animals bring such life in the house, don't they? Enjoy that potty training, I bet spring can't come soon enough in your neck of the woods! xo
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I'm smitten! Bewitched, too. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, both on the adoption and getting your vaccines! 😊
He is awfully cute.
ReplyDeleteBut you _do_ know, he is going to be a lot of work... Lots of upkeep, to keep him healthy. The need to be groomed... And they need a _lot_ of exercise, to keep them happy.
Along with all you have 'on your plate' now.
But he is certainly a bundle of love!
My first thought was 'a puppy? Have you lost your mind? and then I saw his face...and then I remembered having a 'we need to plan ahead, Winnie is slowing down at 13 and Shirley should NEVER be an only dog...
ReplyDeleteI remember the first night we brought Shirley home...she threw up all over me, the travel crate and the car. She cried so loud I finally took her and let her sleep on my chest.
Did you know dogs wet the bed/mom?
Can't wait to see more photos.
He's adorable and I'll bet you have your hands full...Glad you have your vaccines..In two weeks you will be as protected as you can be...for who knows how long?? Too many unknowns out there..We just have to do what we can...Hugs..
ReplyDeleteBuddy is a joy I can tell. It is terrible when those sharp little teeth dig in, but in the not to distant future, he'll grow adult teeth, and at least they aren't so bad.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I would be able to train another puppy, so I was thrilled when Bocephus came to live with us. I see a cute pup, and I want it, until I remember my limitations.
That new man in your life is adorable! I got my second vaccine yesterday too. Just have a sore arm today. Not so bad!
ReplyDeleteOH, I am so happy for you, he is gorgeous!!! And you can now have coffee time with him as well. Which shot did you get? We are awaiting our second and nervous about the side affects of it. How are you feeling now?
ReplyDeleteOh how cute Buddy is. You are lucky to have each other!!
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! Buddy sure got lucky!!! Hubby and I both loaded up on Gator-ade, fluids...I drank way more than him. He had no reaction...I had a terrible one!!!! Guess it works for some but not others...and leave it up to me to be one of the "not others"!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, he is precious! I know he fills your hearts with love and your home with laughter.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
He is just adorable and I love his name Buddy!!!! His name could have been Lucky too with how lucky he is to land in your family. He will have the best life. Enjoy this sweet baby. xoxo Kris
ReplyDelete...hi Buddy, now be nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you got Buddy, pups are the best. I will never not have dogs. I saw this post the other day when I checked your blog. I thought I commented and apparently not.
ReplyDeleteBuddy will be do loved.
Cindy
He is so cute! Starbucks cream everyday? Hmmm, sounds like he's living the high life. Lol. Dogs are the best. Enjoy your baby!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
Love you new man; I've always adored Cockapoo's. He looks older than 9 weeks, what a heart breaker he is. So glad your hubby is enjoying him too. Puppy stage will pass.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about the second vaccine-I'm going to tell everyone I know whose getting one these tips-especially my dog sitter who'll be here all next week while our whole family heads to warmer shores(aka Fl). I was concerned when she told me she's getting her second one on Thursday and hopes she isn't sick. I am going to be praying she isn't sick.
Love you girl!
Noreen
Enjoy having a new man in your life! :D He looks really cute! Congratulations on getting your second vaccine! Hope you don't have any side effects. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie! Have fun with the training!
ReplyDeleteSqueeeee! What a beautiful baby!!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
How wonderful! I am so happy for you and John and for Buddy! So many moments of joy and laughter ahead :-) Hope the potty training goes well!
ReplyDeleteOur neighbour in the place we lived before this has a westie-poo. He's a character.
Diana, what a sweetheart your new puppy is! I hope he brings you both lots of joy. We got our 2nd vaccine last weekend - yippee! I was sick for 24 hrs, starting about 12 hrs after the vaccine. But all is good, and we are also looking forward to a little bit of relaxed outings. Let's see what March brings us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little addition to your house, Diane. And the fact that he's drinking out of a Starbuck's cup makes me smile. So good to hear you got your second vaccine already, and thanks for the info. on drinking lots of water.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Your gift from your son is absolutely perfect for you and the hubs! It sounds like he's already got both of you wrapped around that little paw!!...jp
ReplyDeleteOh, Diana, Buddy is darling. What good times you have ahead of you and anyone, whether man or beast, started off on Starbucks can only mean nothing but goodness. Just ask my hubby! He is so cute and that is a very good breed..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteWell your new man is adorable. So glad you both are doing well with the vaccines. Good to know advice on the water and Gatorade. Marty and I are not eligible to take the shots as of right now. But I always appreciate the tips. And see here...I don't even have a Starbucks cup! I am getting one now. Ha! Hugs and blessings to you. Cindy
ReplyDeleteAww, your new little love is so cute! I'm sure he brings lots of love and smiles to you and John every day.
ReplyDeletexoxo
I been watching him on your FB page. He sure is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Congratulations!!! Things are looking up!!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely over the moon for you and your sweet Buddy. Our fur babies bring such simple joy to our lives. Hope you are continuing to do well after your vaccine.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new puppy Buddy. He is adorable and looks like a lot of fun. Great that he is starbucks trained and I hope you all have fun with him.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new family member, he is just adorable. Great news on your shot, I had my first one and second on will be this month.
ReplyDeleteHugs diane

ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear how little Buddy is helping John feel better.

All the best Jan
Aw! What a sweet face! Love, love, love sweet puppy breath! If you can get close enough without a nip to the nose, that is :) Have fun with your new baby. Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteHello Buddy. You look positively loving and lovable. I'd love to meet you and smooch that sweet face. I used to smooch my dog Jack's satin muzzle.
ReplyDeleteHw is a doll. We have a cock a poo, he is cream and cinnamon, he is an old towser no will be 15 in October, he can still be puppy like, especially around dinner time. Loves his viddles. They are loveable little furballs.
