Gabriel...Guardian DOG?

Just a few weeks old here

Last October my husband and I got our first puppy together.  He is the cutest German Shepherd you will ever see.  We got him from a litter of 4, and he was the only male...and I think the runt.  We really wanted a boy, and it totally worked out because he has such an awesome temperament.  We named him Gabriel for obvious reasons..German Shepherds are guard dogs after all :).  
He has been everywhere with us, traveled across the country, almost literally.  He is such a good sport for being so cool riding in the car all those hours and hours.  From California to Pennsylvania.  He has probably visited more states in his short 10 months than a lot of people do in 10 years.  Born in Northern California to "parents" who are both imported from Germany, we have taken him to Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia.  You could say he is a seasoned traveler. hehe  
Right now my husband is out of town, so it has just been me and Gabriel at home.  Boy..I tell you what, waking up early to take him on walks and play in the morning has been nothing short of rewarding.  The first day I was kind of dreading having to get up earlier than usual :), but I am glad I did.  He happens to be the silliest pup I have ever met. :o)    
Last night reminded me of how happy and thankful I am to have him in our life.  We had just taken a walk and eaten dinner when lots of storm and tornado warnings started going off.  I put him in the basement and went upstairs to relax for a little bit.  The rain started coming and then the wind, so I hurried and went down to the main floor and checked outside to make sure everything was ok.  I heard a super loud sound and the rain stopped and everything was still, so I ran like nobodies business to the basement.  I already hate storms as it is, but being alone made it even more uncomfortable for me.  I sat on the couch and turned the radio on trying to listen to weather reports when the power suddenly went out.  It was pitch dark, and all I had was Gabriel to keep me company.  We sat there for a while waiting, I was really hoping the power would come back on, and it never did.  I was pretty scared.  Don't know what it is about a dark house at night time with no one home that is so uncomfortable, but lets just say if it wasn't for Gabers things could have been worse for me.haha  So glad I had him with me.

I love that darn goofy dog.  He happens to be my very favorite furry friend in the whole widest world.  He didn't really "guard" me last night, but I think he is quite capable.hehe

I need to catch up...

So...Independence Day weekend, a very special person in my life came to spend the weekend with me.  We had a party on Sunday the 3rd at  The Aqua , which was a lot of fun.  Monday we drove down to Indiana and I stayed there all week with some friends from my "home town."  Thank you Ashlen and Austin ♥.  I went down in preparation for my sweet friend's wedding on Saturday, July 9th.  I was a bridesmaid in the wedding...and wanted to be there to help set things up with her and her family. So...I plan to write more about my experiences the last few days..but right now I am stressed for time.  So I will post some photos until then.

this time last year..

This time last year my husband, our pup, and I were living in a tiny little truck bed camper in the middle of NO MAN'S land California.  Our energy was powered by a generator that we had to fill with gas every single day, and our heat was powered by propane tanks that were so old we could hardly find a place to get them filled.  Thanksgiving was a cold, gloomy, rainy day and we were stuck inside all day.  We tried to cook food on our tiny stove, but it was by no means a traditional Thanksgiving.  We watched movies almost all day and played with our pup, who was still new to us.  I was so heart broken, I could hardly see straight.  He held me together when I felt like falling to pieces.  I had a lot to be thankful for, I had my health, my husband, I had food, family...you know, all the things we are always used to having.  I was still so sad.  I wanted to spend the holiday cooking, eating, spending time with the people I love, being comfortabl...
