My Happiness at Home

1/5/2025

0 Comments

 
I never really thought I would be one to say that I now find my entire happiness at home. Then, the cliche comes along and it's quite hard to deny this saying...

Home is where the heart is.
Picture
It may be one of the most used up quotes, but I have to admit that it really couldn't be more accurate. See, I always craved adventure and going out in my younger years. During that time, there was a also a vast, empty void that I was trying to fill. I was out and about, finding ways to keep the happiness going. As an adult, I understand this more - it's like an addiction, I needed to go out and do something for dopamine. My happiness was temporary, I had to keep it going.

I am truly grateful for where I am now. My home life may not be lavish, my house doesn't have the white picket fence, and my husband and I both work hard to make ends meet - but it's fulfilling. Having our puppies, our other pets, my hobbies, and of course my best friend Bear. I know we can get through the ups and downs of life.

Dunkin Cups for Deserving Pups

4/8/2024

Do you love spoiling your pets? I do, and I absolutely take so much joy in this guilty pleasure. 
Picture
Without a question, Hans is the bestest best boy in being a good boy. Ein is the smartest and cuddliest boy, no doubt, but I hate to admit that he is a little poop. However, I take great pride and joy with these two furbabies and I really wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. I think they deserve the best, as should all our future pets.

Hello Wisconsin: Spring Snow

4/7/2024

0 Comments

 
I've always loved the white snow and how pretty it is, but I have to admit I am so very ready for summer. In contrary to a lot of folks, I don't really like spring of all the seasons. I like the thunderstorms and coziness, but it's wet and muddy, and my puppies bring all the chaos into the house. Well this time, I'm not so sure - March was ending and we got quite some snow.​
Picture
Puppies seems to be enjoying this!
The four seasons could be quite unpredictable - that's definitely something I learned when I moved here to the US. It's not really an unusual sight to get snow, or even a blizzard, well into spring.

My Puppy Themed Office & Mabel Chickens

2/25/2024

0 Comments

 
I started working from home when the COVID19 pandemic started in 2020, around the first week of March. It was also during that time that I got hired into a new position (in the same company) and my work-from-home status has been permanent since. Not long after that, we purchased the same home we've been renting and I've always planned to have one of the room upstairs become my home office. After I painted it and moved my office up there, I really didn't get to decorate it much. I had my desk, and it was pretty much occupied by the guinea pigs and the cat, then later the chicks. It was more of a pet room and office hybrid.

After three years, it's time to add a little pizzaz...

A Delayed but Cold Winter

2/4/2023

1 Comment

 
Winter came late, but dang it's cold!

It usually starts to get pretty cold by the end of November, and snow usually picks up by that time and heavy snow starts by mid to late December - that is, at least, in my experience being here in Wisconsin the last eight years. I had a family photo shoot scheduled for December 10th last year, and I had to reschedule it because surprisingly there was no snow.
Picture
The snow came mid-January, and oh the boys are happy! Well, Ein is happy but I don't know about Hans. He does not like the rain or the cold, but ironically he loves swimming and the snow. Weird pup.

Bouncing Back & Life Balance

8/27/2022

1 Comment

 
Finally, the weekend! Still not feeling 100% great, but we're getting there. So thankful I work from home and don't have to do manual labor, but the brain is also not at its finest so it could be draining. Perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky, but can still go to work. Non-perks of WFH - I'm gross and stinky and still have to go to work.  I'm pretty much behind everything I want to get done, but I think pushing myself during work days and barely sleeping definitely kicked my immune system to the garbage.

Before we move forward, the puppers wanted to share some love ♥

Inseparable Babies

9/3/2021

When we first brought Ein home, Hans was definitely not feeling it. He was anxious and aloof - completely uncertain what this mini loaf is doing here and why the mini loaf didn't go home that night. It took a little bit for him to warm up and be comfortable. I think he was also a little bit afraid to hurt the little snapaggating thing that bravely tries to herd him.

Hans is a very good big brother and he's been very considerate of Ein's challenging ball of energy. I'm really happy how much they love each other and Ein definitely loves his big brother very much.

More Garden Decor and Oh,  an Electric Tiller

Happy Sunday everyone! 
And Happy Father's day to all the deserving hooman and paw-dads out there!

The weather's been quite good this week. It was really hot the days prior but this week it was less scorching than usual. It's still quite hot, planting herbs on my veggie garden facing the sun most definitely killed them. There goes additional casualties. Overall tho, it's been better. Reasons to get a mini greenhouse.

I have to admit, our garden is my pride and joy. I mean, on top of a lot of other things that I take pride of. Let me rephrase that, it's my life's spring & summer pride and joy. That being said, I put a lot of work in it over the past few years. Living in a home we didn't own yet then, I really didn't make that much modifications - just planted a few perennials and mostly annuals. This time, we're able to do more to it and I'm excited on what other changes the future will bring. In the meantime, let's focus on NOW!

The Snappagator

Yeaaaaah....

The Snappagator did a shred.

There I said it. I like making up words and names - hate it, love it, don't care but today I present you the official Snappagator.
Picture
Ein the Snappagator is truly the epitome of a sassy corgi. Not gonna lie, this baby made me cry so much. He's stubborn and wants what he wants - but I'm not really gonna complain! One thing about him is that he's so full of love. I don't know, but this loaf right here is so full of love.

Puppies in the Snow

2/24/2021

Ein, our dear Snappagator, is growing up so fast! I honestly don't know  how many times I'm going to say that throughout the course of his life but probably until he's three or four, or until the next puppy. Hans is a big pup so while he'll always be my puppy, it does feel like he's grown up already.

Ein, on the other hand, is smol and is expected to remain smol. But what does his small paws love? Just like big brother Hans, he also loves the snow!
​

Picture
Our boys are definitely loving it! Hans loves to play in snow but he gets enough of it after a few minutes. Granted his fur isn't that thick (and he's so big it's hard to find a good coat), Ein is fluffy and welp, looks like he's a snow dog at heart.

Snappagator Update

1/14/2021

Ein the Snappagator is now transforming into a less floofier version but oh boy, he's still one fluffy bundle of joy! He's growing up so fast but I know it's only been a few weeks, not even a month since we brought him home. I'm already missing the floof baby, I need more puppies. More corgos plz?

We're still working on a couple of things - potty training and Hans not being so deathly afraid of him! Which is odd, although I know he's never been really with a tiny pup so I can see why he's so cautious. Well then, now let's hope he tells me when it's time to go potty. Yes, our poor carpet.

It's a Growing Puppy!

1/5/2021

Oh goodness, Ein's a fast growing puppy!!! A few weeks ago, he was making his weird cries of sadness as we drove home and he was missing his mom and siblings. It really broke my heart but I know he is going to a loving home (us!) lol. My mission is to make sure he is very loved, just like his big brother Hans!

Next thing I know - here he is chasing Hans nom-noming on random things. Yep, he sure is more of a chewer than his big bro. I'm puppy-proofing the house more than I ever had to. His current favorite target? Daddy Bear's shoes!
Picture
I've been doing my best to train Ein and he is a very smart puppy. I also noticed that even at a young age, he is very stubborn. I think I need to do a tad bit more research of corgos! So far, I've learned that they are very strong willed and they will nip - as they are herding dogs. I also learned that you must break these habits while they are young. On top of that... I also learned that, back to, they are stubborn.

That Most Wonderful Time of the Year

12/20/2020

Things can still get magical ♥

I don't think I previously mentioned it yet, but Bear was laid off at the end of November due to the pandemic. It's truly unfortunate, especially that we just bought a home. Thankfully, there's already a lot of back up assistance for people affected by the pandemic so I was able to postpone some bills. That being said, things are a little tight with just my income and savings. It really sucks because I don't think I would be able to buy gifts and all.

Now, now - that doesn't mean Christmas is over right? Great things still happen and I know this is just a challenge. So let's get on with the magic!

Welcome home Ein Pup!

Picture
Ein pup fell asleep after he got tired from his little cries. It broke my heart, I'm sure he misses his siblings and mommy Jewel. But he's in good hands ♥

    Hey, it's me!

    I've always loved to write. Not saying I'm good at it, but hey this is the story of my life!

    I blog about life updates, travels, things that I love, and of course my puppies Hans & Ein! 

    I also do quick reviews of things for the normal folk. I don't do super comprehensive reviews (maybe some) - that's a job for the pros. But if you like simple and straight forward observations - then here's my two cents.
