World, meet Elanor Brandyfoot Jimenez McKamey (Ellie for short and when she’s being sweet). It’s been such a blessing having a new addition to our home and getting Nash a little sister. If you’re thinking about adding another to your household, here are some tips that have helped us along the way:

1) be patient, especially with potty training
2) don’t yell at your older dog if they growl; they’re establishing boundaries and learning how to be a sibling
3) crate train, but make sure you reward them so they aren’t afraid of their crate. Remember, it’s a tool not a punishment
4) don’t take away things that your older dog enjoys, instead start doing them with your puppy too (walks/play time/kisses and treats)
5) establish a 1-2 hour potty routine, even in the middle of the night to avoid accidents; she’s now going out every 2-3 hours after 3 weeks together
6) give yourself grace too, it’s a hard job being a dog parent but so so so rewarding.

We are still learning though, so if you have any additional tips, we’d love to hear them!

The snuggle is real. ‘Tis the season to be freezin’. Up to snow good. Everyday I’m shovelin’. Sleigh all day. Okay, enough dad snow puns. Did I mention in my last post that I’m ready for summer? 😬

Wow, it's been a minute since I last posted on here. So what better way to kick off pride month than with Jeffrey Tyler and Jeffrey Ramones big wedding day
