I’m trying out a new format today! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Life was peaceful this week. A new Italian market opened up near our home and I’m a sucker for Italian food. We overate bolognese, a meat lovers pizza, and arancini🤤 I’ve been to the gym three times since, so it’s neutralized. That’s how that works, right?!😉

On April 22, we celebrated Harper’s “Gotcha Day!” It’s been six years of having the bestest dog. If you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing my gotcha day story… here goes nothing!

I was 22, it was my last week of college, and I budgeted $400 to get a puppy for graduation. That morning I went to the humane society and met a jack russell terrier puppy, but moments after I picked the puppy up, he was adopted. I was heartbroken and (Lord forgive me) went straight to a bar called “Harper’s.”

Sitting in my final lecture of college, (yes, after I went to the bars…) I started scrolling through Craigslist looking for dogs and came across a little golden retriever for exactly $400. I messaged the owner and met him in a McDonald’s parking lot where he casually passed me the puppy. (No, I didn’t drive!)

I wondered at the time how anyone was selling a pure bred golden retriever for just $400. Was he stolen? Was something wrong with him? The answer was yes… kinda. Sweet Harper was born with only one testicle and the breeder was looking to stud him out. (Yes, it’s sad and hilarious at the same time).

And that concludes the story of our little one-nut-wonder joining the family🤣 We wouldn’t have him any other way!
