TWO

Today is the day that my little sweet angel Beau turns two. He probably is already technically two...he was about two or three months old when we adopted him. We go by his adoption day though.

I feel like time has just flew with him. He grew up so fast and I'm always wishing he was still a baby. My little baby dog, as I like to call him. Beau was the reason this blog began, so here is to two years with our little adorable floppy puppy. We love you so much bopidy.

Two years ago today I had everyone convinced that I was mature and responsible enough to adopt a puppy. Shayne and I were working at an animal rescue and when I first saw the four little puppies in the chain cage with their adopted mother. I had no idea what I was about to get myself into. I can't really remember how it happened exactly. One of the things I remember is sitting at the bar in my kitchen trying to convince my father to let me have this puppy. I knew what I was going to name "Ernie" the second I saw him- Beau. At first I just thought Beau was a cute name but then I realized later all the meanings to it. And it made his name and him even more special. 

Two years ago today Shayne and I loaded Lilly in my first car, and we went to Dana's. Dana was pulling out of her driveway when we handed her the adoption fee and she told us to "Get our baby." Ill leave the link to the blogpost on this below. We went to pet smart, got a crate, toys, training pads, a collar, a tag, everything.

Two years ago today I realized that there is a totally such a thing as love at first sight (when it comes to animals). Two years ago today I had no idea how much everybody would love beau. Two years ago today I didn't realize how much I could love. Two year ago today I had Shayne, and Shayne had Lilly. But two years ago today when we picked him up and he left Dana's, I had a small family.

I know a lot of people think that how I view all this is silly. That's okay though. Because two years ago today I would say the same thing about anybody else. 

Two years ago today a little puppy named beau completely turned my life around. I have loved him through him tearing up his entire crate two days after I got him, to waking up at 3AM with dog s**t on my leg, and even when he looked at me and peed all over my bed on purpose...I loved him. 

Right now he is just laying down, sleeping. Oblivious to the fact that he's getting older, and so are we. We are his entire life. We make up his everyday. We make his day everyday. I couldn't imagine life without this dog. 

It breaks my heart to think about how things have moved so fast. He's been through some tough times with me in high school, he's been through college with me, and before I know it he's going to be in a lot more of my life events. I am honored to have him in my life. I'm honored to share this chapter of my life with him. 

And to the asshole that left him, abandoned him, and neglected him- even though you disgust me, you repulse me, and I don't even know you...thank you. I adopted your dog two years ago today, and he has taught me more about love than I thought a dog could ❤️

THANKFUL

So it was around this time two years ago that I created this blog for the purpose of keeping track of my life and letting others get to know who I really am. And the little dog who inspired it all, Beau, was another reason. Its so hard to believe that in only a week I will have had him for two years. I can't convey how much this dog means to me. Because there is only a few things that bring me joy every single day and he is one of them.
Im sitting here in the library working on the slideshow of Beau for next week. It is literally breaking my heart. I know a lot of people could easily say "Its a dog." or "He won't even be here forever." but thats the point..he WONT be here forever. He won't be here as long as I will (unless an accident happened), but I'm his entire life. I'm everyday to him, and everyday has to be special because he deserves it. Since he only gets to be in a fourth of my life, I'm going to make his life worth way beyond that. He licks me to get me up in the morning, he waits for me to take his collar off at night so he can sleep, he obeys my every command, he is smart, loving, sympathetic, apologetic, everything a human is but without the ability to talk.
Sorry Im rambling and sorry if you think me being so worked up by a dog is stupid, but to me it isn't. Because to me dogs aren't just objects, they are family.

BLOGTOBER DAY 1

So in the post about Heather I stated that I was going to do blog posts weekly. Honestly I'm changing my mind! Already..

I know I'm literally 3 weeks late with blogtober but why not just get a late start. It's better than nothing! 

I haven't done anything spooky yet, but I do have some crafts I've made, treats and my outfits lately have totally screamed witchy. 

Today I'm wearing a bery huge black sweater, maroon leggings from PINK, and some black combat boots. It's definitely representing my inner Misty Day (American Horror Story). 

Anyway, like I said I've also created a couple cute and spooky crafts. 

Here are some Marceline color sucked apples inspired by a YouTuber named strawburry17. Also by the show adventure time! 

These are so delicious and all you need to search on YouTube to make these amazing apples is "Marceline Color Sucked Apples". 

Another thing that I randomly decided to make was a spell book inspired by Hocus Pocus. I wasn't going for "books" look, just because I didn't have any materials that really resembled it. Instead mine looks like a fleshy spell book:

I did this witch several different materials, plus I'm not done with it entirely. It needs some more blood and a title. Believe it or not this is panty hose and some of those fake flesh wounds. Also some vampire blood from the Halloween store. 

As I was writing this post Beau was just watching the rain. It was super cute! He kept laying his head on the window too. Now he's freaking me out cause he keeps looking in the hallway like somethings is there. 

Hope you guys have a fabulous day!
