If you follow this blog you know that there have been some serious highs and lows in my life and that of my family’s lately. A wedding, a death, not to mention the continued pandemic running our lives and lifestyles.
Well, since we are already stressed out, my husband and I figured, why not add to that stress.
No, seriously, we didn’t say that!!!! Hahah. But the end result could be construed as stress producing.
Let me ‘esplain.
Last Thursday we adopted an-almost 8 week old puppy and brought her into our home and hearts.
Yeah, I know….puppy = stress, squared! heehee
It’s been a longlonglonglong time since we had a dog, much less a puppy in the house. We got our first dog-baby, a black Lab named Ella, in 1987. She passed in 1999. So 21 years since a dog roamed our house and 33 since we had a pup.
But….
Meet Maple Leaf Jaeger
12 pounds of pure puppy love, joy, and rambunctious energy!
She’s a chocolate Lab and loves to run around in the yard, carry sticks in her mouth, and play with empty plastic bottles.
Oh, and chew. Everything!!!!
She already has our hearts in her paws.
Our daughter named her Maple because she is a New Hampshire dog, born and bred and we wanted to keep her name native to the region. I added the middle name of Leaf, which I have to admit, my family thinks is dumb!!! But since I rule the roost, it’s staying.
With this new media-obsessed world we inhabit, Maple even has her own Instagram page. You can follow her daily antics here
I know: I’m a little obsessed! Heehee.
But look at this face: 
and tell me you wouldn’t be as well!!!
Heehee.
Until next time, peeps. Follow Maple Leaf on instagram and me, here: Follow me
