Our Puppy Is Fabulously Fashionable!
Since we first adopted our lovable pup Sam about 1 1/2 months ago, the fashionista in me has been on a mission to outfit him with something much more awesome than the standard blue collar/leash we initially purchased at PetSmart. Now, before I continue, I have to state that I have no intention of making our little boy look like some sort of sissy in a paisley getup, who is secretly the laughing-stock of all his doggy friends. And no, I do not plan on purchasing any kind of coat/sweater/diamond choker/ribbon for him in the near future! I just want something that’s a little more fun, yet still let’s him keep his studly status.
So, it seems if you want anything more than just the standard boring colors, you have to turn to online stores/boutiques for more fashionable accessories. Initially, I was set on a blue & turquoise camo collar…..manly enough, right? However, as we got to know Sam better, we realized he is without a doubt much better served by a harness. He can pull with the best of them (which is totally the Dachshund in him), and since he’s a small breed, a collar could potential harm his fragile little neck.
Sooo, after much searching, I finally found this SUPER CUTE & oh so stylish harness online:
Not only is it totally functional (due to the adjustable & strong velcro closure and the ability to easily slip it on), but there is not ever any danger of choking since the d-ring is located further back than a lot of other harnesses. Each item is handmade with superior quality. And isn’t the blue & brown striping, along with the pewter paw accent, simply dashing (without being too over the top)? Of course, I had to get the matching leash as well. LOVE IT!!

Pretty In Pink
Yeah, yeah….I know. It’s once again been a while since I’ve written a post on my little bloggety blog. I have no excuse, except that life has kept us busy…yada, yada, yada. With pre-school nearing an end soon (OMG, still can’t believe how fast it went!), there has been lots to do as everything starts to wrap up over the next few weeks. Plus, the peanut’s been going through a continuous whining/crying/temper tantrum throwing phase that unfortunately shows no signs of slowing down. Add to that the puppy & all of his lovely teenage-like antics, and we’ve been simply exhausted. I swear, between the kid and the dog, it sometimes feels like all we do around here is yell! Oh, and let’s not forget the most important thing of all – ‘LOST’! I am completely obsessed with this show and could easily spend hours perusing blogs & websites dedicated to it, reading up on popular theories and predictions of what it all means. Truly, after 6 years of faithful devotion to this amazing hour-long drama, I am so sad that it is all coming to a permanent end soon and am not sure what I’ll do with myself afterward, lol . And before you call me a complete loser, I have quite a few friends who feel exactly the same. So there!
Anywho, hopefully I’ll be energized enough soon to once again fill these pages with fabulous & witty content! For now, I leave you with a few more pics of the peanut.

And I’m Back, Again!
So, yeah…..I’ve been a little, ahem, absent as of late. Even though I swore several months ago I would never lapse in my posting again, ever! Alas, life has a funny way of taking charge and scrambling things up, just for the fun of it.
The last time I wrote on this here bloggity-blog, I detailed our new, all-consuming, search for a rescue dog and the ensuing frustration encountered as a result of that search. After that day, as I continued to obsessively scour the internet for doggies, things just got a little busy here at EllaBellaMozzarella headquarters, for one reason or another. And then, BAM, on March 24 we found a pup online through a rescue out of New Hampshire. His name was Cricket and boy was he a cutie! The next few days were spent filling out applications, trading lots of emails, talking with the foster mom and keeping our fingers crossed that everything would work out (since there was already 1 application ahead of us). And then, in an ironic twist, the people ahead of us came through with their deposit to adopt Cricket….but the expected deposit on his brother Jingles (who we had already deemed just as cute) fell through. In the end, we decided on Jingles and committed to adopting him by that weekend…..and this little twist of fate couldn’t have worked out better had it been written in stone! Because not only did this little pup capture our hearts the minute he entered our lives a week later, but we couldn’t have asked for a more perfectly fitting dog to what we had been looking for!
So, needless to say, after now being proud owners of an 11 week old puppy for exactly 5 days, our life as we knew it has been turned upside down and inside out. And yes, it’s been just like having a newborn again – our days now revolve around trying to figure out schedules, pooping, feeding, napping, and playing. It’s been challenging, to say the least! The hubby and I are completely mentally & physically exhausted. However, we really couldn’t be happier with our newest family member….or Sam, as we now know him. Especially the peanut, who has decided she absolutely needs to be involved in EVERY LITTLE DETAIL surrounding Sam, and is attached to him from the time she wakes up to the time she goes to bed. I don’t think we have ever seen her this excited about something. And you know what? That right there is pretty awesome! We made a good choice. We rescued a dog. We did a good thing.
And without further ado, introducing Sam The Man:
