RaeAnna + A Nerdy Lifestyle
My life revolves around my dog, Beau. We’re always off on new adventures or staycations.
Tess has been a trooper and kept her smile and pep over the last few days as she's recovering from her first heartworm shot. We found out she was heartworm positive immediately, but we weren't able to start treating it until two months ago once she had the puppies, weaned them, and gained strength and weight.
My quarantine hasn't been filled with finding a new passion, getting in shape, writing the next great American novel, or baking sourdough bread. I haven't been able to be apart of #isolationcreation the way I wish I could've been. My version was raising the puppies.
Moving did not go how I envisioned it six months ago, but I've spent the last month enjoying my new babies (and not tearing my hair out because of them) and catching up on sleep instead of unpacking. It's been a crazy four months considering the family increased by five.
WE BOUGHT A HOUSE FOR OUR DOGS!!! I'm not kidding. We did buy a house, and a big part of why and which one was based on the dogs. It was an absolute disaster of an experience. If I never ever, ever, every buy a house again ever, that would be too soon. Nothing went as planned. I was homeless and stranded in Iowa for awhile. I LOVED our realtor, and she was literally the only good thing in this experience. I'm so glad the last seven months are over, and that we're in the house instead of living under an underpass.
Who Rescued Who? Seriously, Please Rescue Me! The pandemic has started affecting me and my family this week. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the thirteen puppies in my house.
I love the puppies with all my heart. I do not regret adopting Tess and bringing all thirteen puppies into my life. But don't let Instagram fool you; my quaranteam is not bliss. It's heaven if heaven were coated in poo, tears, and exhaustion.
