A few days back, I tipped you off to something huge (yet small for now) coming into my life, and here he is. 

Drumroll, please... 

Meet Hank! He's my little puppy I just picked up out of West Virginia. Hank is a purebred bloodhound from the Taylor Made family of pups. He's just about eight weeks old, and the cutest thing on this planet Earth, if you ask me! Seriously, I'm melting over him, and his personality is just as great as his looks. 

He's the biggest puppy from his litter, and "Brown Boy" as he was formerly known as, was the one everybody wanted. I believe he has nine siblings, boys and girls. Some of their coats are a similar black and tan, while others are mostly tan or even liver. They're all so dang cute. 

The name Hank comes from a combination of things. As silly as it may be, in the show The King of the Hill, the main character's name is Hank. Well, Hank has a bloodhound, Ladybird, and he loves her dearly. That's some inspiration. Then, of course you got old Hank Williams. That man will always be THE Hank, and a nod to him seems appropriate for my little country hound. Also, Hank just seems right. You know how it goes! 

I'm totally obsessed with my little good boy. He slept nearly the entire car ride back and didn't whine or bark. He's such a well-mannered dude already, with a laid-back demeaner. Who knows if that will stick around, or if he'll grow into a toddler with a temperament- I think it's a good sign, though, and we're going to nurture him into good behavior as best we can, too. 

Our cats are not into Hank at all, but he seems very much open to them. They'll warm up to him in time, I'm sure. He's here for the long run, regardless. 

I could go on and on about my bloodhound puppy Hank, and I'm sure I will in future blogs, but I just wanted to give you a little introduction to my new four-legged family member. He's perfect. 

We're planning on a photo shoot this weekend before blowing up social media with pictures of the pup. I can't wait to spend time with him! 

What could make this time any better? I don't know... maybe... A NEW ALBUM ANOUNCEMENT FROM MEGAN MORONEY WITH A NEW SONG OF HERS DROPPING TOO?!?!!!

Oh yeah! Her sophomore album is titled Am I Okay? and it is set to come out July 12th. This announcement came with the release of her brand-new song, Indifferent. Here's that for you to check out:

Saturday was National Dog Day, but lets face it, that is every day for us dog owners! Our dog, Ellie, was pampered as usual. A walk, belly rubs, fetch with her tennis ball... but, we did get her some doggy ice cream. An extra treat for being the goodest girl!

As they took the stage to headline at the FGL Fest at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway this past Saturday, Florida Georgia Line's Brian Kelley and family honored Police and made a donation to the Indianapolis Metro Police Department - a German Shepherd pup that they call "Sarge."

Sarge will get a new name from his handlers but the Kelley's noticed that he was a very talented canine and decided that he would be better suited for Law Enforcement than as a family pet.  The plan for the newest IMPD Officer is to train him as an Explosives Detective K9.
