So Far So Good

It’s been 3 weeks since Pearl came to our family.

So far it’s been quite an adjustment getting used to a wee one.

The first few nights were hard getting her used to her forever home.

The first night, I slept in a chair the living room where her crate is.

I sang and rocked her to sleep the first few nights with a mariachi song and Tony Bennetts version of Moonglow.

She loves it when you cuddle with her and rock her to sleep.

That technique worked for a little awhile.

She sleeps for a couple of hrs., then whine to go out or decide it was time to play.

Pearl has been pretty good about bathroom breaks, so far.

We let her out her to go do her business before she goes back in her crate for the night.

We’ve jingled some bells that are on the door handle when it’s time for her to go out.

Occasionally she’ll have an accident, though.

But if we get her on a schedule that everybody can live with, hopefully she should let us know when nature calls.

Is it normal for a 2 month old pup to not sleep through the night or are we doing something wrong?

Pearl’s Back

Happy New Year all! The last two years have been trying, hard and difficult. A lot has happened. Whether it’s dealing with the loss of family members, and friends, navigating difficult relationships, there has been a constant positivity. That constant is Pearl. Whether she’s hogging the bed, going for our walks, licking my face, barking too much, she’s been there beside me. She's been helping me get through it all! Hopefully 2024 will be happier for the both of us and everybody.

Wild Child

They say beagles get calmer as they get older, nope not Pearl. She just turned 15 months old and Pearl’s been a handful lately.  Pearl’s adorable, loveable, but she sometimes can be a hell raiser. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in her beagle brain and why she gets into everything she sees. You name it, She’s chewed on or wants to chew on it. She destroyed our couch, torn up some of her toys, phones, quite a few pairs of my shoes, pens, pencils, walls, doors, quilts, chairs, pillows, blankets, 4 of my baseball hats, wall moldings, cardboard boxes, books, our living room shelves, her bedding, magazines, toilet paper, paper towels, clothing, 2 Wii sensor bars, router cords. Pearl also loves to get on tables, steal food and dig holes in the back yard. She has lots of chew toys, busy bones, bully rings, toys, but she seems to enjoy destroying my things more. She can’t be bored.  I take her for walks when I can, she plays fetch and tug of war with her toys often. She has lots ...

Thank You Pearl

I wish I could take the past 6 months and have a do-over of some of it. Our family has been through a lot lately and it has  been a challenging few months. While we were having our share of troubles, a blessing came to our family. The name of the blessing: Pearl. Pearl’s sometimes a handful.  She’s noisy, gets into everything, hyper and sometimes she can be a stinkerbutt. Pearl’s also comical, smart, playful, loyal, loving, a cutie pie, an energetic distraction to have around. Pearl has made our family aware that even when life looks chaotic, laughter, lightness can be found.  Whether she’s playing fetch and tug of war with her toys, cuddling up with us, greeting us with cuddles and kisses in the morning, chewing on everything she can, Pearl has made life a little more busy, interesting. Without Pearl, I do not know how I would have gotten through the last 6 months. Thank you Pearl for bringing lightness, love, hope, joy a breath of fresh air to our family.  Love you...
