Weekend/life roundup

Hello lovelies! 

 

How is everyone's first day of spring? it is cool and wet here in portland, but not bitterly cold. I'll take it! 

This weekend marked the opening of the farmer's market! HURRAY! 

Busy vendors! 

Beautiful flowers for my desk! 

Before heading to the farmer market, Abalard and I went to a Dachshund Meetup. Abalard is the littlest one, and ever so shy to make other doggie friends. But he was a total heartbreaker and sweetheart to all the people there. 

So many cute adorable Doxies in one place. Abalard was one of only three dapples and the only long haired dapple. Seeing a bunch of them in one place reminds me why people are so shocked that he is a Dachshund. He really is unique looking. 

Other than that, I spent a lot of time cleaning the house from top to bottom, I vinegar sprayed the walls/windows and trim. I did how ever get my workspace set up. I need curtains and maybe a banner, plus a low shelving unit or maybe a file cabinet! 

I think i need another new desk chair. This one totally fits my 60s vibe i want to have but is uncomfortable. So the search continues... this one will most likely go in my bedroom or next to my desk for abalard, he loves to sleep on a chair next to me while i work.

he is a good boy he just always wants to be close to me. it's really sorta sweet. 

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend, what were you all up to? 

 

Life changes in an instant.

So 9 days ago. I went to central oregon, well salem. And came home with the best thing I could have hoped for. 

Say hello to Abalard! He's a long haired mini dachshund. He is four months old and a bundle of energy and cuddles. 

I would love to say that the first 9 days have been heaven, and they have been really great. But it's always a struggle with puppies. They are teething and chewing everything then they are running around like someone shot them up with speed. All and All he has done very well and we are settling into a routine. I get up and feed him, while i make coffee and he plays by himself for a bit while I get dressed and do my make up. Then it's off to Tiny's our favorite dog friendly coffee shop in Portland. (where I am currently blogging from.) He's silly and sweet, and a total attention magnet. I've never talked to so many people in one week.Everyone wants to say hello to the adorable weenie dog.

He's wonderful, infact he is wonderfully asleep on my lap right now as i type this.
