Outta home for Fun

We had our first experience with Puppy Ayla going out for 2 days in a complete different scene. She handled it with a chilling grace. First Subway drive, first car drive - just sleeping in the arms of my hubs.
She does barks at the strangers approaching us though. Real little defender as she is!:)
Of course she as a little bit to *starve jumping* at everything that smelled food and we had to cut her short of it, but it was pleasant memory afterall.
It was for the first time that I turned into a complete control freak, as I had to monitor were she was each moment, 'cause it's def not the time to let her unobserved even for a second. I'm a poppy momy in transition:)
I've got napkings, food, plates, water...a lot to consider in a trip with a 4 months old puppy:)
We've got it all when someone we love is concerned.
Love, puppy kisses and hugs!

Ayla The Destroyer

I knew it would be bad. But nothing like that would ever cross my mind. It was a hard acknowledgement of what my limits are and how to deal with messy chaos. And for sure it has nothing to do with feelings. Let's just to be fair. It doesn't matter if it's a dog, a child or a parrot. When a did is wrong - it's wrong. And I was so angry and angry with nobody, cause our lady Monster did what she had to do, but I really am waiting for the those days when she'll be the dog of my dreams - smart listener and a gentle hugger.
Till then I'll just discover new stain&smell carpet removers, double check the doors before leaving the house and change the mattress.
And she's just three months...
And we don't even have kids yet...
Life changes and it's normal, it's just another type of normal.

At least she's not that big...yet!

Unplanned happiness

I was a little crushed when my hubs asked me if I'm happy we got Ayla.Of course I won't lie and that's why it's still 50/50 to me. Just understand me right, I'll never harm her or even attempt to get rid of her, and I do love her. But she is my unplanned child. I'm a Master of planning, so I'm still adjusting. Now I understand why mom was always saying: " Kids are the happiness. Got the kids, still waiting for the happiness." It's overwhelming sometimes.
And the best part of all this is, that Ayla is getting smarter and a lot of my complains will go away with her growing up and just more happiness is still to come:)

I still don't get why is she so skinny, she eats like an elephant!:)

Baby can hold it

And that day has come (hopefully some more on their way too). Our babe made it through the night without any *wet accidents* and we are so happy about that. I do hope it goes on like that further till always. It took her one week to understand our wishes and it took me one week to get accustomed to her and just acknowledge her as a member of our family. I am at peace now.
And she is so funny when she sees me in the evening and jumps around like a crazy frog. Make me feel a part of her heart too.
We also discovered a new trick - when we want to hold her still, we put her in the bath tube - thus we have time to get dressed and nor wondering about her adventures around the flat. She doesn't seem to mind that. I can't barely wait for warm days to come to be able to go to the lake near by our surrounding. She'll love it for sure, as for the moment she adores to take bath.
And all for today:)
Stay tuned as Ayla we'll def have some more new to share:)

Random busyness

New Year is all about new goodies. And I want to have plenty of that.
Our best acquisition so far is Princess Ayla. It's been a week. I am more of *Keep calm and wait for her to come to senses*))) My love finally wakes up early in the morning, never gets enough sleep, but still showing his best care for this little child. I see some grains of judgment in her actions and that makes me be optimistic. It's just i am already used to have a plus worry in the family and now all and everything is circled around her. But time will come...and she will let me hug her, and kiss her without engaging a bit action out of it.
I'm back to the classics. First thought in my mind was: Going back to classics (Tess) is like taking a bath with milk - goes so smoothly! Just enjoying it very much.

I am also back to my cross-stitching. I have huge work ahead of me and I plan to get it all done. I love this hobby of mine and beeing kept away from it makes me sad. I am trying my best to go on!

I also have beed DIY sewing lately. Tryin' to do it each weekend. It's fun and I love to redo some clothes. Still have to do a picture of my last cherry denim skirt.

Ayla Fisher discovering a dog lover in us

By now means I would expect ourselves to get a dog that soon and in a flat. But things got wild as our Rescue senses were alerted and she came into our lives.
I'm still reserved and still sniffing around to see how much damage she brings. But it's an alive dog-beeing and I'm sure we'll get along.
It's interesting how a pet transforms you into a socializer. A lot of people with dogs get in contact and become friends. So, my all alone lady friends - that's an option for you to meet somebody:) And why not through a common passion for dogs.
I mean, it's a million things I could write about her, but I prefer just to say * Never raise your expectations too hight and you'll never get disappointed*. Works perfectly for me, and our little girl is really shy and almost as good as we want her to be.
 I could never imagine that in the first day at a new place, this cuty would go to sleep at her place, will not destroy the house, furniture etc. She is quite receptive around us.
Let's see what she does today. When nobody's around for a few hours:)
