We’re doing all right.

Well, y’all. We’ve reached week two with the dear pup. It has been a long ten days. A new puppy, a new puppy owner, and a downtown (even if it is Jefferson City) apartment is a lot for one person to handle. Thankfully, I have my mother and sister who can talk me off the ledge with grace and love each night.

The pup is growing! He’s getting heavy to carry around! And he’s getting cuter!

Lest you think he is calm and cuddly all the time, most of the time he looks more like this.

We had our first rainy day today (with several more in the forecast grrr) and thus our first wet no fun walk.

But, he handled it like a champ.

In other news, downtown Jefferson City had it’s Living Windows night on Friday. Last year, my parents were in town and we went to the Governor’s Mansion to see the decorations. This year, I wandered alone while worrying I was a bad dog mom for putting Mr. Smith in the crate.

I enjoyed seeing the crowds at the windows looking very old fashioned.

I also loved that High Rise Bakery had a family dressed as the nativity outside.

It warmed my heart.
