there's someone i'd like you to meet.

hello world.

today is a big day; or rather today has a big announcement. 

we've {finally} settled on a name for our little pup.

drum roll please.... world, meet:

mowgli.

mowgli stice, that is.

{current nickname: mowgs}

we are well aware that it took us almost three weeks to name him,

but, better late than never, right?

i'm not exactly sure how mowgli came about-

yes, the name mowgli comes from the little boy in "the jungle book"-

but, he wasn't necessarily named after him for any particular reason.

we simply liked the name. 

i can't begin to tell you how many names we came up with for our little guy.

name, after name, after name;

none of which instantly fit his puppy cuteness, yet regal aura.

until, "mowgli" suddenly seemed to be the perfect fit. 

so, there you have it.

as much as we hated the ongoing search for the perfect name,

we couldn't be more in love with his name- well, mostly just him in general. 

happy monday!

cheers to a new week, puppy kisses and a successful weekend. 

xoxo

drum roll, please.....

just like that.... we became a family of three.

obviously, we are elated and totally in love.

he's stolen both of our hearts already. 

i'd reveal his name... but, i think i'll wait until monday to do that.

{we are pretty sure we've picked it, but we'll make our final decision this weekend.}

as a side note for our future little ones {as in kids, not pups} to read:

this is a big day in the history of the stice's.

lovebird agreeing to a dog is a big deal;

just ask anyone who knows him.

i knew i could soften lovebird's heart and convince him that we "needed" one.

however, i'm not sure i did the convincing.

i think our new pup convinced him in just the last 24 hours. 

our pup has lovebird wrapped around his little finger paw. 

we're happy he is ours to keep forever.

we can't wait for all the future adventures and memories with this little guy.  

happy friday, indeed.

plans for the weekend...?

nothing but playing with our new pup.

i mean just look at that face,

how could we not?

hope your weekend is lovely as well.

your always welcome to come over and play with us.

just bring a doggy treat, and i'm sure our pup will invite you right in.

xoxo
