tank, tank, tank

I know it's been 20 days a while since I've blogged, but I have a REAL post coming up this week. I promise. And it will outline what I've been up do as well as what my birthday shenanigans included.

But to keep you tied over for a wee bit, I decided to share some pictures of the little guy that steals all of the spotlight in this apartment! ALSO, in case you haven't seen/heard, Tank has twitter.

Give him a follow: @tankertot

Now, without further ado:

"Ruh-roh. I got busted for licking dishes....." 

"Can I read with you daddy?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"Mmmmm, breakfast of champions!"

"Why did I have to come to the vet? I'm so scared!"

"I'm tired, mommy."

"Ahhh, this is better. Best car ride ever."

"So much to explore!"

"Snooooooooooooooooore"

"Mmm, summer shandy!"

"I think I drank a little too much...."

"5 hour in between meals is just too long!"

"I like when you go running because I get to eat your sweaty shirt."

Time flies.

I miss this.
I miss having my time to write and just enjoy "me" time. This was always my "quiet place."
Anyway, Tank has fully consumed Jason and I's lives. He's super duper precious but boy is he testing our limits every day.
So here's some fun facts about our little ball of energy (some of which include pictures):
1.  He can run super duper fast and usually when he runs a quick two laps around the living room, it's because he has to go to the bathroom. Or because he thinks by the time he comes back, his toys will magically turn into steak.
2. He pees at least 20 times a day and therefore we have to take him out about every 30-45 minutes.
3. When he runs too fast, he starts coughing. I'm convinced he has asthma, if that's even a real thing in dogs.
4. His favorite treats smell like poop and therefore Jason and I hate giving them to him because our hands smell like fresh cow manure. So we are weening him onto peanut butter treats. Much better!
5. His new favorite thing to do is put his front two legs on the dishwasher and try really hard to reach his little tongue to the dishes. And he also likes looking out the patio door.

6. He spent Sunday watching college softball on TV. Blahhh, but whatever makes him happy I suppose.

7. He slept through the whole night for the first time last night. HALLELUJAH! IT WAS AMAZING. But I don't think it will happen again tonight. We shall see.
8. He loves his toy box more than he loves his toys. And that includes falling asleep in it.

8. He loves giving kisses.

And that's our puppy! He gets the rest of his shots next week and then he's able to go to daycare and explore more outside. Can't wait!

puppy love (photo overload)

If you're a regular to the blog, you're probably wondering why I've gone MIA the past two weeks. Well, Jason and I made the trip to the Iowa/Missouri border to pick up our little bundle of joy and therefore he has been eating up all of our time! Between playing, training and taking him out to go potty 3 seconds after he eats, he's a ball of energy!
Meet Tank!
Our 9-week-old lovey. Below is our journey in pictures (and yes, there's a lot).

On his way to his new home (aka - our apartment)

 

Kisses for daddy :)

 

His little bowtie! He's such a fancy little guy.

 

Long day of exploring for the little fella.

My two boys.

 

Headed out on our Easter roadtrip to see our families!

 

Someone ate a big Easter dinner!

 

Tuckered out.

Stay tuned for more updates on what's been happening the past couple of weeks!
