Two Scoops please!
I don’t think there has ever been a time in my life where I walked in an ice-cream store and ordered just one scoop. There are many flavors to choose from which makes it almost impossible for me to decide. I love Cliffs ice-cream in Ledgewood. It has been there for as long as I can remember and always has the best ice cream and flavors. When I was pregnant with my second daughter I frequented them often as I just couldn’t get enough at the time, it was one of the better pregnancy cravings I had! Ordering ice-cream can sometimes be a painful experience for those with me cause it takes me forever….I guess if I liked chocolate and vanilla then it would be easy, but I am deeper than that, I’m just not a vanilla type of gal......and definitely no frogs!
Pairs seem to be the thing. You wouldn’t go buy one sock you would buy a pair, you wouldn’t get one lens in eye glasses you would get a pair…….pair of gloves pair of jeans, pair of shoes, partridge in a pear tree, (oops wrong pair!) Noah had the right idea…”get a pair of everything on this ark!” More pairs….shampoo and conditioner, peanut butter and jelly, better yet…….peanut butter and chocolate. Then there is of course bread and butter, salt and pepper, wine and wine…….another blunder, I meant wine and cheese! Remember the doublemint gum commercials? “Double your pleasure double your fun” Its all about doubles!!
Considering the pairing, double thingy it wasn’t odd for me when going to bring home my new puppy that my gut feeling that day was “I need to bring home a pair!” I actually sprung this gut feeling on my poor unsuspecting husband an hour before we were leaving the house. My ever so patient husband listened as I carefully and delicately broached the subject and agreed if we could work something out with the breeder that we could consider another puppy. I had picked the name Fergus for my little boy puppy that I had already selected a few weeks prior and it took no time at all with this “gut” feeling I had that his sibling, knowing that she had a couple of female puppies available her name would be Fiona. It felt comfortable, it felt natural, it felt right and I just knew that it had happen.
I always listen to that inner voice inside of me that tells me something is right or something is terribly wrong. Most times I am glad that I listen to that intuition or gut feeling and because I do things seem to work out the way that they are suppose to be.
Thus, I have a pair of puppies! Fergus and Fiona joined our home on February 18th. I am so happy that I did what my heart led me to do. They keep each other happy, secure and content. They have slept through the night since their homecoming and they are training easily and happily.
Having two puppies is a lot of work. I would have never even entertained the thought if I had a 9 to 5 job, but I am fortunate to devote most of my day with the raising,loving and training my precious babies. It is most definitely like having twins, (minus the diaper changes) but everything is in double. Double leash walking,double feeding,double trouble,double fun,double entertaining,double kisses, but mostly double the love!
Like anything new it is an adjustment. When they wake at 6:30 in the morning with the whining and crying I keep saying to myself "you wanted this", well you must know that I am NOT a morning person. After the initial walking and feeding,massive puppy kisses and wagging tails I soon find myself not regretting a moment of bringing these two loves to their forever home.
With each day as they grow so does my heart. I look forward to a full and active life with these sweet hearts....... two scoops of love sprinkled with a huge dose of cuteness, yes that is my kind of double scoop!
