My Dog Saved My Mental Health & Life
I've been feeling rather uninspired lately but over Labor Day weekend I took a really cute photo with my dog and I wanted to use it somehow. I typically never do blog posts inspired by photographs I've taken. But this one got me thinking just about how much Pixie has helped me over the past almost five years. Especially in the mental health department... and honestly I don't think I've written anything about that on my blog. Or if I have, I didn't see it in a quick search of my previous posts. So why not discuss it with that photo I love so much of Pixie Bug and myself.…
View PostI Almost Lost the Pixie Bug to HGE
This entire week I've basically been off social media as I've been solely concentrated on Pixie as she almost died this week. OR rather she could have, which is why I wanted to put my full focus on her. I'll get into what HGE is later as I kind of just want to write literally everything that happened.…
View PostLife Lately | August 2016
This month has been a lot stress and headaches. And it all involves change.At the end of July, Ariel informed us that she was going to be leaving us right after we moved in as she was being shipped out to New Jersey for work. Now that wasn't actually what happened and remained a mystery for almost the entire month of August. This meant Harley and I had to struggle figuring out what we were remotely going to do without our third roommate as we were hitting our max budget already. And I had just managed to get my budget back under control by adjusting my student loans so I could have some spending money again. Nope, that's gone now. Now as of writing this post, Ariel doesn't actually know 100% if she is getting the manager position but she has heard from many individuals to start looking at places out there to live. So it sounds like she will be leaving us which means Toulouse will be leaving and we'll be a dog only house. I think Pixie will really love this, as she isn't his biggest fan which leads to some issues of the two arguing with one another.…

View PostPixie Turns Three Years Old
My little baby is growing up, today is her three year old puppy that I've had since she was twelve weeks old. Pixie Bug Jackie Young is her official full name or PBJ for short. Her mother was a rescue in Tennessee that was abandoned in a railroad car where she was found to be pregnant by a rescue group. Now no one believes this, but her mother was a fawn colored Welsh Corgi. We believe her father was a Jack Russel Terrier or a Rat Terrier, hence the nickname Jackie, and her very terrier like appearance. She had six brothers and sisters that were all adopted through the same foster home where they were born. We originally were going to adopt her sister Romana, but after meeting half of her siblings ended up driving home with Susie as she was called at the time.…
