Watch Tapu Grow 🌱🐾🤍

Tapu was my first 2 month old puppy. Whew. Puppy easing is challenge, but I would do it again. He’s one of the best little companions. He’s my little Velcro baby.

Bringing Tapu home at just two months old felt like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of puppy energy! Whew, puppy raising is definitely a challenge, but seeing him grow into the amazing dog he is today makes every sleepless night and chewed-up shoe worth it. He quickly became my little 'Velcro baby,' always by my side, whether I was cooking, working, or just relaxing on the couch. His personality started to shine almost immediately. I remember those early days when he was small enough to fit comfortably in a woven basket, his curious eyes taking in the world. Potty training was certainly a journey, but with consistency and lots of treats, he mastered it. We spent countless hours playing in the yard, watching him chase after balls on the green grass next to the concrete sidewalk, his black, white, and brown fur a blur of happy motion. He loves car rides, sticking his head out the window with his colorful bandana flapping in the breeze, enjoying every moment of adventure. Tapu has been part of so many special moments. Our first Christmas with him, snuggled on a red blanket under the festive Christmas tree, wearing his adorable red plaid bow tie, felt truly magical. Last Fall, he was quite the pumpkin patch model, posing perfectly on a mat next to two pumpkins, sporting his pumpkin-patterned bandana. And this past St. Patrick's Day, he rocked a sparkly green bow tie in front of our white wall decorated with green shamrocks. Each holiday is a new opportunity to celebrate him and capture his playful spirit. Watching him grow from that tiny puppy with his tongue out, looking happy in a Walmart shopping cart on the day I picked him up, to the confident, loving dog he is now, has been the greatest joy. He has an amazing happy expression, often with an open mouth, that just melts my heart. He's not just a pet; he's family, a constant source of laughter and comfort, making every day brighter. If you're thinking about getting a puppy, be prepared for challenges, but also for an unparalleled bond and endless love. It's truly a rewarding life style with a furry companion like Tapu.

omg that face! He’s absolutely adorable 🫶🏻 I love my little aussie (he’s 6, I believe I have a photo posted of him). We didn’t get him when he was a puppy so I didn’t have to deal with that challenge!
