This little bundle of joy, joined our family. And I can't deny he has already captured the hearts of everyone he meets. Including those who thought loving a dog wasn't even possible. Yes, I am talking about Guitar Hero. But he is still a puppy, and you know what that means... Learning on both ends. Yes, that means Guitar Hero and I are learning just as he is.
For starters we are having to learn to put our shoes away and this does not mean just move them up on a chair or couch... it's only seconds before he gets them again, that potty breaks for a puppy come a more often then you can imagine, that locking him in the cage when we leave isn't a bad thing, it's a learning thing, and when letting him do something, like sleeping on couch makes him believe that he can do this whenever he likes.
He on the other hand has much more to learn. Like... how the chew toys are for helping his teething and not mommy's shoes or for that matter her hands and feet, that after he goes potty he should maybe step forward instead of back into his pee, how running in front of me when I am on the go might not always mean I see him till the aftermath of him getting knocked over, how the cats may be his size but doesn't mean that they want to be play buddies, and of course how the sounds coming from dads room (meaning guitar sounds) is not a bad or scary thing.
But when it's all said and done, I see this being a great addition to our family and I look forward to many, many years of all the memories we are going to share with our baby, Encore.

Now, I know Thanksgiving is not even here yet (it almost is) but I just can't help but be SO excited for Christmas. I mean REALLY excited. To the point my radio station in my car is already set on Christmas music, I have already finished my Christmas shopping AND wrapped all the gifts, I have two tiny Christmas trees up in the house (no big one till after Thanksgiving) and maybe just maybe Guitar Hero has even walked in on me watching a Christmas movie a time or two or maybe 8 (cough, cough). I just can't help myself sometimes though. The holidays make me so happy so how could I not want to celebrate is as long as possible?! Now, if this warm weather will just turn chilly I might be a tad more excited.
So, before our little Encore joined the family, me and Guitar hero had a serious sit down talk about the rules we are going to make for the new addition. No people food, no getting in the bed, no getting on the couch, nothing that would make it harder for us down the road. Well, as you can see from the evidence above, the couch rule lasted a total of maybe 24hrs. We are still firm with other rules {at the moment at least} but since we spend most of the time in the living room we wanted him to be close to us in there. Which after walking in on the adorable moment above, I am glad we did.
Over the weekend, my mom and some of her girlfriends came to visit me. Most of the ladies had never been to Nashville so what better way to introduce them, then taking them to a local and tourist favorite.. the loveless cafe, because if you know guitar her and I you know its one of our favorites. If you are ever in Nashville this is a must stop, their biscuits are out of this world! 
Now, before I go gushing over Encore, our dog (see post below) with a thousand pictures and updates on our daily adventures, I must share with you some other adventures I had this past weekend. Which included family, babies, old friends and new friends, road trips, and lots and lots of food. So, be sure to look back often.
