Puppy Love

Happy Monday and Presidents day everyone! Hope a few of you get to enjoy today off of school/work (Andy is home today)We have had quite the past week! Andy was pretty sick last week, but is better now! Valentines day was low key which was just fine :) Unfortunately I woke up yesterday morning with what he had the past week, so I'm sick as a dog now. Which is a bummer because we missed out on a private rooftop black tie themed party last night hosted by a nice navy couple who also lives in our building :(

I also my have a possible volunteer/job opportunity! There is a gay rights group that is always outside Target whenever I go, and they are currently raising money and awareness to try and get the history of the gay rights movement into school teachings. They also do marriage equality work as well. I always get into wonderful conversations with them and offered to do some administrative volunteer work in their offices! The woman I talked with even said she is going to look into seeing if she can make it a paying job :) I should be hearing from them this week! In other news, I'm currently awaiting acceptance into Arizona State University! My application is in review and I would hopefully start classes Feb 29! I would be able to finish my degree all with online classes too! I may be doing college a little slower and different than the average person but I am really excited to hopefully finish my degree with ASU :)

But the most exciting news of the past week....our new puppy, Layla (after the Eric Clapton song of course)!! We saw her at an adoption fair outside Petco on Saturday and just couldn't resist. She is a rescused dog from Baja, aka Mexico. She was at the fair with her sister and mom. Her mom is a nice medium sized dog which is perfect for us! She is 11 weeks and they thought she was a beagle mix. We personally don't see much beagle, she's just a nice mixed mutt :) she's a complete sweetheart and so calm. She spends about 90% of her day passed out on the couch. She is doing fairly well potty training too (except for her 3 accidents inside today). Crate training her will definitely be a job too haha. Here are some pictures of our sweetie pie:

Sleepin' on her daddy!

Little rascal loves to steal your spot when you move even an inch forward!

 We love her already and are hoping for a smooth and easy training process (one can only hope!). This is Andy's first dog so he is so happy to have her with us! Hope you all have a fast and wonderful week, we are almost into March, can you believe it?!
