Meet Othello

Last night, Hubs and I drove to Grand Rapids, MI to get the new addition to our family--a black labradoodle puppy.  He is the sweetest thing.  When he's on the ground, he enjoys playing, but otherwise he just loves to be held and cuddled.  In fact, he is currently in the other room cuddly with Hubs while they nap.  His first night wasn't terrible.  He slept soundly in his crate for about 3 hours before he woke up and started to whine.  Because we live in an apartment with neighbors, we let him cuddle with us after about 20 minutes of whining.  We didn't want to disturb the apartment building.  He started up by us and slowly inched toward the end up the bed until he was right in front of the fan.  He is such a joy to have around.  I'm looking forward to training him and watching him grow up.

Our first home

 

This is what you see when you walk in the door.
To the right is the bedroom and to the left is  the living room.
[Not pictured: entrance to bathroom]

There is not much to see in the bathroom.   It's tiny.
The curtain is from Kohls. 

Our sink and mirror.  There is not room for two people to get ready in the morning.
Notice the moneky toothbruth holder.  Thank you, Tyler & Jordan Matthews.
The monkey's head bobs in the light.  

This is our closet.  It's small but it works for us.
On the top, you will notice two canvas bins.
The right one is for t-shirts Hubs is not allowed to wear in public.
The left one holds acceptable t-shirts

Our bed and my stuffed animals.  Oreo, the panda was a gift from my parents.  I've had him since I was five .
Buddy, the polar bear, was my first birthday present from Hubs.  

Our living room from the back.
The curtains are from Target and I made the couch pillows.

Our "dining room table" aka card table
Table cloth and vase on clearance from Target

This stand was in the apartment and holds necessary small kitchen appliances
Notice the doggie dish in the corner!
Puppy comes today!

Our teeny, tiny kitchen.  Notice the lack of counter space.
It makes cooking/baking rather difficult.


I hope you enjoyed seeing our home!  We're getting a new addition today!  I'm excited to introduce you to our new labrdoodle puppy.
