And Just Like That ..
A new journey begins.. A year without hearing the pitter patter of paws, the barks at the front door, looking over and seeing a precious little fur baby lying on the couch or laying next to us in bed, no one for us to come home to and speak with endlessly about the trials and tribulations of our days without judgment, no unlimited unconditional love being given to us every single day.. and the list goes on and on. We were ready to start a new chapter. My wife more than myself was ready to add to our family once more. But in my own way I was also wanting to start a new journey.
And So Ot Begins..
Meet Huxley, our new tiny, baby boy!
Huxley was born on July 23, 2024 In New York. We adopted little Huxley into our family on September 15th. We drove up to get him and brought him home.. Home to his forever home. He was much smaller than we expected him to be. At 8 weeks old, weighing in at just over a pound. He is coming up on 11 weeks old come Tuesday of next week. He will weigh almost 2 pounds now. He's a little guy! We expect him to grow to about Molly's size, which will be roughly 7 to 8 pounds. We wanted another tiny Shih Tzu, and that's what we got.
Huxley Immediately found a spot in our hearts that we had set aside for a new family member. it wasn't very hard to love him from first sight. He is so cute, so tiny, but has quite the personality already. It's only been about 20 days since we picked him up, but already it feels like we've spent a lifetime with him. We love him so so so so much! He's definitely different than Molly and Pepper already. Both his looks and his personality are quite different. My wife and I wanted a dog that was different than Molly and pepper so we weren't reminded every day of our loss. This might sound weird, but we didn't want the reminder so we picked out a dog That was a little different. Huxley is a liver colored dog. We're hoping that the deep rust color will stick with him but there's a good possibility he will lighten up. Time will tell. Either way he is too cute for words. We were immediately attracted to his green eyes and tiny brown nose.
As this new adventure begins .. I Cannot wait to write about him and share our experiences with Each of you. I would like to say Huxley would show interest in orchids and silver, trips to the vineyard, rides in the Jeep, trips to Lancaster and my parents in Ocean City Maryland… But he is his own little being. If I had to take a guess I would say he would be interested in anything we are interested in. I have a good strong feeling he's going to like the jeep. Jury is out on silver and orchids. Right now he's into eating everything and I don't want him eating any of my silver or my Orchids. Hahaha. One day when he is ready I will introduce him to those things.
Happy Wife, Happy Life
Sorry for the delay.. In Introducing Huxley to HIVE. Our time has been limited being where slowly puppy proofing our home again, learning his personality, and potty training. Oh my gosh I forgot how tough it is to have a puppy in the house again. Eating Schedules, pooping schedules, sleeping schedules, schedule schedule schedules. It's been tough, But we are surviving. We are making progress with all of the above. I think Huxley is going to be just fine, and so are we. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
I suppose I'll wrap it up here.. I was excited to share this news with you guys for a while. I have a little time this afternoon while he sleeps and I anticipate the Phillies playing The Mets in a few minutes. I figured I would take this moment to introduce everyone to our little Huxley. Rest assured I will keep you posted as his little life evolves. Lots of firsts again.. Like his first veterinary appointment (sorry Hux). That'll be fun.
Just one piece of advice, if you stop by to meet Huxley while he's still a puppy.. watch your feet. He likes biting toes! (actually watch everything you bring into the house. He bites and chews absolutely EVERYTHING)
I apologize for my ugly feet.
Thank you for swinging by my blog and checking out the post. Have a great day!

Thank you for the tipu curation!😁😊
I am so happy for you! What lovely news to hear. He's adorable for sure. Tears in my eyes this post, tears in my eyes.
No Tears! lol
He is so stinkin cute.. probably going to get him out of a lot of trouble that he is sure to get into. hehehe.
Wow what a beautiful Huxley I love it, I fell in love with that little guy,😍, I have a chihuahua who at first was like that chiquitina, she is champagne colored, and she is very affectionate. I loved it Huxley, thank you👏👏🌻🦋🌈🤗😍.
Wow que hermoso Huxley me encanta, me enamore de ese chiquitín,😍, yo tengo una chihuahua que al principio era así de chiquitina, es color champán, y es muy cariñosa. Me encantó Huxley, gracias👏👏🌻🦋🌈🤗😍
Awwww... I love Chihuahuas. Yes, this Liver (Brown/Red) color is very nice. We are looking forward to a long life together as a family.
Good on you! He is very cute! I like the name too. We have some friends who recently got a new dog. They have a lot going on and already have three cats, but they went to an Amish flea market and after walking through the whole thing and staying strong, at the last booth they broke down and bought just about the tiniest dog I have ever seen. They called him Macaroni even though he is mostly black. I'm still having a hard time being around any dogs at the moment. Our inlaws just got a new one too they named Jameson.
Macaroni.. That's a cute name.
Yeah after a couple of Amish dogs.. and one that cost us about 25K over the last 15.5 years due to medical problems.. often caused by mating dogs with already pre-existing med issues.. We decided to spend a decent chunk of $ upfront and hopefully negate some unnecessary bills in the future. Don't get me wrong.. Molly and Pepper were great, just trying a different breeding style this go round. We'll see how that works out. lol. One can never predict what pets will get into, do, come down with etc.
So far he is awesome. We adore him and are getting to really know one another. He sleeps well and my wife picked out a nice "Country Club" enclosure for him. He loves his little retreat. lol.
Jameson is a great name too!
That's awesome. I have a feeling if we ever do get another dog it will be a rescue like Jovi was. There are so many that need good homes. They come with their own set of issues of course. I understand why people go the breeding route. I never honestly knew that amish dogs were a thing until they got Mac.
Omg! Love him. Congratulations. It’s a big step getting another pup after losing two you loved so much. But Huxley has won the puppy jackpot getting two loving and devoted parents. What an adventure ahead for you all. 🩷
We sure hope so. We would like to think he has won the jackpot as well. We are trying our very best not to spoil him too much right out of the gate. Trying to train him first and then the spoils will come full force! hehe. Thanks for the Congrats!
Hello Huxley! What a gorgeous wee pup, and I am sure you are goign to have your hands full. He looks a right cheeky wee chappy!
Hux says Hi back!
Oh yeah he is.. He can be chill one second and then zooming around the living room the next! Can't wait to see how his little personality develops. So far he seems to have made himself right at home.
A new puppy! No wonder you have been busy! He's simply adorable and I can't wait for Huxley stories! How did you pick Huxley for a name?
Yes!!! We are so excited and he is taking to us so well. Very Busy for sure. My wife likes a good Huckleberry Martini.. So that name came to mind after I said Huck. He is such a sweet dog.
Adorable…. Good luck
