The Newest Member of Our Family

So it has been so long since I last posted. In fact, I think the format in Blogger has changed since I last logged in - that's how long. Sorry sorry!! I quit my job, packed up my apartment, moved to New York and now just got a puppy. When I say just got a puppy, I mean literally 6 days ago. I also haven't blogged for a while because there wasn't a whole bunch inspiring me to do so. Now that I am in arguably one of the most "inspiring" cities in the world, I think I have run out of excuses not to regularly attend to my blog. Most notably the biggest news is that of our 9 week old Miniature Dachshund puppy, Mila. Moving to New York, well that was a long time coming, but a puppy? My, I can hardly believe it. Whilst I have always wanted a dog since leaving home and thus leaving my home dogs, we have always put it off for one reason or another. Ryan had always promised that we would get a dog when we moved to New York but I kind of loosely interpreted that statement as I didn't want to get my hopes up. Little did I know that I would officially move to New York on a Saturday night and then we would be driving to New Jersey on Sunday morning to pick up Mila. It blows my mind.

A few weeks back, perhaps two, I was googling "Dachshund puppies New York" and came across a few websites. Whilst weeding out potential 'puppy mills', I came across a smaller breeder about an hour from us. I called her and asked about her puppies and mentioned that whilst I didn't really mind what the colouring of the dog was, I wanted a mini and a female, chocolate would be nice. Perhaps it was my enthusiastic tone, or the slight language barrier between myself and the Russian breeder, but I unexpectedly found myself reserving the one and only Chocolate Miniature Female Puppy. What?! Oh and she'll be ready to leave her mom a week from today.. Um.. OK. We can pick her up the weekend after that when I am in New York. OK, great, see you then. Holy moly. Fur parents. That's us. Us + fur baby = 


Welcome Mila. Remember this post? Scroll down to the last photo. Sometimes you just have to believe and things do come true.

Updated Apartment Tour! Don't worry it's very short... our apartment is very small! ;)

Here is a quick video of our apartment as it looks now. I was a little rushed as I was on my way to the airport back to Chicago. It's a continuous work in progress so please bare that in mind. Let me know if you have any decorating tips for small spaces. They would be much appreciated.
