Future Pet Hoarder?
Hey friends 🙂 How’s your day been?
I fell in love with about 50 dogs today. As a little adventure, we went to play with puppies at the Humane Society… especially since the fam knew I’ve been looking for a little friend for Bella. Ever since Viesa went off to college, we can tell Bella’s a little lonely, even though I walk with her every day and we all play and snuggle with her. She doesn’t have anyone to speak “dog” to, but we’d like it to be a dog who doesn’t want to eat her.
Today, we met Tiffany.
She’s a 3-year-old dachshund and her past owner’s couldn’t care for her anymore. She’s a sweet and lovey little thing, and we all think that she and Bell would get along well.
We’ll have to see if the queen approves…
(Bell loves ALL dogs)
they’re meeting tomorrow!
Wouldn’t they be cute little friends??
I talked to the Pilot about it today, and after he called me a future animal hoarder (there were at least 4 dogs I was ready to take home), he said he was ok with it. Winner, winner
Cheesecake Factory for dinner 🙂
(The standard Fresh Vegetable Salad with goat cheese instead of cheddar, blackened salmon, balsamic on the side. That’s an appetizer portion! CF doesn’t mess around)
To celebrate my bro’s b-day, we all had linner this afternoon together.
Cheffer + Meg
Birthday boy:
The food paparazzo:
+ a dozen family members that I didn’t ask for permission to blog 😉
It was a delicious meal, and since I dominated my salad, I just had a little snack to seal the deal for the evening.
Brown rice cake with goat cream cheese 🙂
I’m actually off to a meeting right now about another potential teaching opportunity. Looks like I’ll be a teaching machine pretty soon here! Can’t wait 😀
Have a great night and I’ll see ya in the morning <3
xoxo
Gina
Upcoming: We may launch the new blog sooner rather than later—I’ll let ya know the official date very soon 🙂
Today’s workout jam: “The Show Goes On” Lupe Fiasco <— fave song right now

Tiffany is so cute! I wish my dog was a snuggler! Both my dog and the husb are anti-snugglers. Yet they snuggle and I get left out…hah.
Can’t wait to see the new blog. I would be a pet hoarded to, thats why I cant go to such place like the SPCA. I am really sensitive when it comes to animals.
i am too. i had tears in my eyes the whole time because i wanted to adopt all of them
Tiffany looks like she would be a very cute addition to your family.
Love your blog!! My parents have a red dachshund, Scarlet, and she is soooo sweet!! You will love the breed. I think that’s good so that Bella will have a friend…my hubby and I have 2 boxer puppies and it’s so great because they always have a buddy to play with! 🙂
omgosh pleaseeeeee get her! i love dachshunds, had them growing up and have a miniature now.. hes the best.. love them!!
very cute dog
What a cute dog!!! I hope you get her — and the other 4 dogs you wanted too. 🙂
I can’t wait to see your new blog! I’m sure it will be lovely!
For a second I thought you chopped off your hair from that pic!!!
Poor puppy…I hope Bells approves so you can give her a home!
Yay for Tiffany!!! She’s precious and deserves a fabulous home where she’ll be loved! I so hope it works out and Bella loves her! I’m so happy you are rescuing a dog. I wish everyone would start with a shelter or rescue when they are in search for a new family pet. So many animals are ready to be loved and need to find homes. Tiffany will be a lucky girl – Tiffanista 🙂
Yes, yes and yes 😀 Adopting saves lives <3
Teaching machine, you go girl!!
Brown rice cake with goat cream cheese looks sooo good to me right about now.
And happy bday to your bro. He and Meg are adorable together.
Going to the humane society and wanting to be a pet rescuer and falling in love with tons of animals…oh, yes. I have BDTD so many times. You have such a big heart, Gina, with so much love to give. Your future children, furry or otherwise, are going to be so blessed 🙂
Bella and Tiffany, Gina and the Pilot….What a great family. I am so happy that things are coming together for you and the Pilot. You look sooooooo sparkley/happy!!! I cannot wait for the new blog design.
yes Yes YES to a Long Dog!! 🙂 Basil Doxie and I approve!! they are so fun…
haha, I know the feeling! I don’t allow myself anymore to go to the Humane Society because it is very hard for me to not walk away with another cat/kitten. Lovely dachshund!
I love animals too!! I wish that they could all live with me 🙂 My dog is the reason I became a Vegetarian.
Where do you get your Goat Cream cheese?
trader joe’s 🙂
she’s soooo cute!! hope bell gets her sister bear! 😀
LOVE the Fresh Vegetable Salad!
Can’t wait to see more pics of Tiffany. Hope Bella loves her! =)
Aww that pup is adorable I love that you are adopting a pet that needs a home I would totally be a pet hoarder too if I could have pets in my apartment!
I love how your dogs are so girly 🙂
I hope Bella likes her – I heart wiener dogs!!!
Yay for a new pup! But I am jealous..I grew up with dogs, but since I moved out, my lifestyle just wont work with a pet right now…I miss having a furry little cuddle buddy!
She is so cute!
Haha, if you can’t get a goat might as well get another cute dog! I feel like Bella and Tiff would look adorable going for a walk together! Her name is cute too, do you think you’ll change it?
I spot twisty bangs!
Aw the puppy is so cute, but I’m confused. If Viesa wanted to eat Bella, why would Bella miss her?
I can’t wait for the new blog, its gonna be amazeballz.
My husband and I have three mini dachshunds and they’re the best! Super quirky and hilarious (without meaning to be). But beware- they’re barkers! 🙂
I have two ragdoll cats and am infatuated with them. I will(AM!) Be a crazy cat lady one day….I want to take all kitties home with me. P.s your hair looks great that way.
aww puppies! so cute. weiner dogs are the cutest, so are PUGS!
Aww Tiffany is so cute!
That is the salad I get if I ever go to CF too.
And that Goat cream cheese, I must find that!! yum!
ohh a little pup friend for Bella is a great idea 🙂
I wish I could get one for Mosely! ahh the drawbacks of city/apartment living 🙁
Good luck with all your teaching! 🙂
Tiffany looks so sweet. I have two miniature dachshunds, one which was adopted from a rescue in Tucson. They are the best dogs! I hope you adopt her 🙂
they would make such cute sisters!!! p.s. i love that song!!!
oh tif looks like she would be the perfect play partner for bella she is adorable!
Being from Pittsburgh, I LOVE that your brother is rocking a Pens hat!! Happy Birthday to your brother!!
awwh, bella is getting a friend. i hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to see less photos of bella. i really enjoy the daily updates and pics of her. speaking of bella pictures, one of my absolute faves was back in valdosta, you were doing yoga or some other workout, bella was looking at you, and your comment “she judges me” was so fitting. LOL. in the picture she literally looked like she was judging you. LOL. hilarious.
bella will still be a regular on the blog 🙂
hahaha and she’s judging me while i type this
Your salad at Cheesecake factory looks amazing. How much extra do they charge for the blackened salmon on top of the salad?
i’m not sure :/ i don’t think it’s anything too crazy- maybe a few $?
Goat cream cheese sounds so delicious. And I love dachshund dogs – so super cute!!!
adorable pooch, good luck!… I have a dachshund/yorkie mix and she’s great.
What a sweet pupper! She looks right at home in your arms. I hope Miss Bella approves 😉
Tiffany looks like such a cute dog. 🙂 Hope Bella likes her!
Awwww Tiffany is so sweet! Bless you guys for going there and not coming out with every animal, I can’t ever go to a shelter, it breaks my heart : ( I used to volunteer though and help walk the dogs at local shelter back home! I hope she works out!
Your bro is cute and his girlfriend is so pretty! Glad he had a great birthday!
Have a good day! yay for Friday!! xoxo <3
I have to stay away from pet shelters because once I’m in one, I find it so hard to leave. I hate hearing about animals who’ve been abandoned or abused.
she’s adorable! can’t wait to hear how the meeting goes! i know how you feel about wanting to adopt them all. a few weeks ago the hubby and i went to visit some friends that volunteer at a cat rescue and we wound up adopting one of the cats! she jumped from her cage and right into my lap. it was a done deal right there! 🙂
Our family owns several dachshunds but they are very stubborn little creatures! In fact my FIL owns a long hair, English cream – I can’t tell exactly from the picture if that’s what Tiffany is but it looks like it. They are gorgeous dogs! Good luck on adopting <3
The mall near my house has a pet store, I feel so bad for all those little pups I have to play with one every time I go. The shelter, forget about it. I cry ever time I go there.
I hope the pups get along! Tiffany is so cute. Her name suite her!
Tiffany is so cute! I hope her and Bella get along! 😀
Also just wondering, did you have a dog back when you were a student? I’m dying to get a dog, but I don’t know if it’s a responsibility I could take on while I’m still in school.
yes, i had bella for the second half of junior year and all of senior year. for junior year, my schedule wasn’t too bad, so i left her at the apartment while i went to class, and when i taught dance, i dropped her off at my mom’s house. by senior year, she was totally fine to be home by herself while i went to school for longer blocks (my mom still watched her while i went to dance at night)
sometimes, i brought her to class with me. she was SO tiny, and no one noticed during lecture 😉
What a wonderful thought to get Bella a buddy. I love how you refer to the V dog as being in college. I could never set foot in our humane society – it would break my heart to leave any of them behind. I can’t even go to their darn website and look at photos! Bless you for rescuing Tiffany – seems to be a perfect match, for you and Bella. I’m so excited for you. Have a terrific Friday and an even better weekend.
Oh that puppy is so cute! My fingers are crossed that you get a second teaching opportunity! Good luck!
Ah I love Lupe Fiasco’s new album. It’s been a considerable portion of my workout playlist for weeks now & I’m still not tired of it!
I hope Bella gets the new friend! It’s so great to rescue a doggy that needs a new home.
And your brother might be my new favorite person, reppin’ the Penguins with that hat. 😉
Happy weekend!
omg! So cute! She and Bella would make a lovely buddy team indeed! 🙂
You’re so awesome for wanting to rescue a pup!
Awww…..Tiffany and Bell would be such cute little friends 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about their first meeting! I know this is weird but your rice cake photo is really good!
thanks! 🙂
