So like I briefly mentioned,
I've been wanting to get Reuben a sibling! Reuben, for those who don't know, is our 3-year-old, 6-pound Shih Poo, a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Toy Poodle. Aside from the fact that we love his personality and everything else about him, we love that he's hypoallergenic, non-shedding, easy to train and of course, cute as a bug! I've heard that two shih tzus don't do well together, so I thought a
Maltipoo would be perfect, a mix between a Maltese and a Toy Poodle.
Meet this pup, who I hope to meet in person on Sunday, October 24. She will be 16 weeks (same age Reuben was when we got him!), and she won't get bigger than 4-5 pounds (we want a pup that will be smaller than Reuben to increase the liklihood that he will be the dominant one as per his personality). We love that she's a total furball and looks JUST like Reuben did when we got him (well aside from the coloring of course... and gender clearly). I HEART her little brown mask and brown nose, and hope that Reuben likes her, that she has a sweet personality and that she is a healthy little fur baby.
Here's some pics from her breeder, Christi, who has been SO sweet and great to work with: 
Don't you think her and Reuben would be the best of friends? I hope so. She's a little
ewok doll - just like Reuben was when he was a pup - see:
I wonder if she'll change colors too! Reuben is practically all gray/black now!
Anywho, these are the days of my life. I'm very excited, and appreciate you guys' feedback on introducing a new pup! I've been doing research and definitely feel that a girl may be best for Reuben. Then again, I hear of people having great success with boys too so I guess as long as their personalities jive, boy or girl, i'm good to go!
Other than puppy stuff, yesterday was pretty standard. Just work, 4-mile walk during lunch, more work, and then I cooked a bit! I'm going with meal plan #7 this week:
- Breaded Chicken Sandwiches
- Easy Yellow Curry
- Spaghetti
- Bacon/Egg/Cheese Muffins
- Red Curry Chicken
- Baked Pesto Chicken
- Baked Swiss and Sausage Omelet
- Bourbon Chicken
- Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta
Tonight I made several of these,
#3, #4 and #5. We're out of town this weekend, so I can't cook too far ahead - some may need to wait until I'm back in town Monday. We'll see!!
Q: What did you do last night - cook anything yummy? I normally don't cook on Mondays, but I was feeling it so why not?!
Q: Male or female pets - have a preference? I've always had boy dogs - she would be my first girl dog!

Aww cute. I want to get a sibling for Murphy, but Jason is against it. :(
I grew up with a girl dog but now I have a boy.
SO cute! I hope it works out!!! All of the cooking sounds great. I want some omelet action in my life. I made some stuffed squash last night- so good! Tonight I'm doing some cabbage experimentation. I am excited! And I always seem to get boy dogs
Those puppies are too darn cute! We are talking about getting some sort of poodle mix for my mother-in-law and are kind of at a loss for good mixes. We have a girl and boy cat now, but honestly this is my first boy pet. They are great cats though. I had an omelet last night since the boys had leftovers! Good stuff.
Such a cute puppy! I would love to get Tucher a brother but at 7 years old and 75 pounds, I don't think that he would like to share with a puppy too much! (Also don't think that Ryan would go with that plan either)! I have heard that a new puppy should be introduced when the other dog is younger than 4 years, so Rueben should be fine! What is her name going to be????
OMG, I'm in love! She is sooooo adorable! I think Reuben will love her :)
What a cutie! I've only had female cats but grew up with male dogs. I bet they will be great friends.
All the food you will be cooking sounds great!
i've always had boy dogs! that puppy is so cute!
What a cute face!?! Oh my!! I grew up with dogs but I don't have any dogs now...my kids are scared of them and I have no idea why. It's ok because I really don't want to take care of anything breathing creature. :)
Hello adorable! I love her little face! I've always had boy dogs too. I do think Max will need a girlfriend when Ryan gets back though ;)
She is so cute, I'm sure Reuben will love her! At home we had a boy dog and introduced a girl dog after a few years, and they adore each other & get along great! I only have a boy dog now (cock-a-poo - love the hypoallergenic and sweet personalities) and would love to get him a playmate, but unfortunately need to wait until things settle down for us and not so much traveling around.
We actually cooked your mexican pizza recipe last night and loved it - the TJ's pizza dough was soo good, we're definitely going to try more pizza recipes with it!
Adorable!!!!
And you seriously do have your act together with meal planning. You always have such great meal ideas too.
I want I want! Cutest little pup ever!! I am certain they will get along :)
What a precious baby!
Oh my goodness... so cute! I just got a little male rescue myself, a rat terrier mix. He is a real cutie!
Sweet new puppy! I hope you get her!!
OMG!!! i want a little munchkin too <3
We have a male dog, but wish we had a female - he's a black lab, which my husband has always had, and says he wished we had a girl - he's still lovable - even if he's 90 pounds!
Hannah and I routinely go to pet store and play with tiny dogs - we love tiny dogs and that new pup is so fricken cute!
I am actually making a dish called chicken panang - which is a red curry chicken dish - can't wait to see how yours turned out!
I actually made something yummy last night! I hadn't gone to the store, but I had a few frozen chicken breasts, some pesto, feta cheese, a can of green beans and I cooked some rice and added it all together! It was awesome!
Oh my gosh, she's adorable! I want to hug her through my computer screen. Do you & Austin have any names picked out? Honestly I prefer females over males, but maybe I'm biased since I'm a girl? lol
How cute! I prefer females.
I haven't done anything fun...just watching the incredibles.
Oh my gosh! What a cute little puppy. Hubs and I definitely want a dog -- don't care about the sex or the breed. Just want a doggie! Maybe when we move somewhere with a yard.
Last night was low key/recovering from the long weekend. :) A little unpacking, some laundry, and we made grilled cheese sandwiches. They were DELICIOUS!
My Hubby and I are planning on getting a dog soon, too! So excited, she looks absolutely adorable :-)
So sweet! We have had both male and female pets. We have a sheltie right now, and he's a boy. For that breed, most breeders feel that males are better pets - but I don't know!
We just got a maltipoo last week! Your potential pup is adorable...let me know if you end up bringing her home! I would love to talk maltipoo with you ;) Ours is 10 weeks but already 5 lbs. They think she will be anywhere from 10-15 lbs. I wasn't thrilled with that at first, but I'm accepting it. She's a love!
