DIY Loch Ness Monster plushie

My sweet mother-in-law Tammy bought me all the supplies to make this DIY Nessie plushie for my birthday! Being that I have extremely below average skills with a needle and thread, she helped me immensely through the whole process of putting him together. I managed to sew and cut a few parts myself! First time using a sewing machine in about 10 years... We Lived Happily Ever After has a free pattern and step-by-step instructions for creating this kid friendly cutie. Isn't he adorable?!? I'm loving his happy little face and little flippers. I think his permanent resting spot will be on the guest bed of our future home. He just needs to be on display.

Introducing a new member to our family, Cloud!

We've had Cloud in our home for a few weeks now. A few very stressful weeks and gosh has he been a handful. I was well aware of what an adjustment it would be introducing a husky puppy into our home especially already having our tiny Marshmallow, but there was some unexpected bumps along the way including finding out this sweet boy had Parvo only days after getting him. He had his first round of shots, but apparently isn't 100% covered until he's had his second round and so treatment began. Very expensive treatment I might add, but it was worth it. After being hospitalized for a few days, he was able to come home to us bouncing and eating like a happy puppy should.

He's a big baby and such a sweet addition to our family. So thankful for him and his quick recovery. Training has been rough at times but we are taking it one day at a time and celebrating all the improvements. He's a real sweetheart and despite Marshmallow being completely uneasy with him and slightly aggressive, he doesn't seem to hate her one bit. He's just big and much more rambunctious than her so when he wants to "play" Marshmallow prepares to defend her life! One day at a time. Baby steps.
