WE GOT A PUPPY! taking home our 8 week old shih tzu boy, the full story, his name

come in here come here [Music] hi guys welcome back to my Channel today is puppy pickup day this is actually crazy and I just need to explain this to you guys because this is a total surprise obviously on purpose I wanted to tell you guys this on the day that we're getting him and this was just totally like I want to stay out of the blue but I just need to explain everything if you guys are new to my channel I actually had to put down my very first dog my childhood dog back on February 1st so like a little over three months ago and if you know me you know that I loved my dog his name was Timmy he was my whole entire world I begged my dad for a dog my whole entire childhood and he was just like the best thing I could have ever had in my whole life so it was really heartbreaking putting him down and I know that's just like the circle of life when it comes to dogs but I took some clips of Timmy which I'll show you guys at the end of this video on his very last day because he had gotten really sick and we just knew that there was nothing else we could do and it was just time that was over three months ago and at the time I took the those clips on his last day of all of us like saying goodbye to him and being with him on his last day and I just could not get myself to look at these clips like I just couldn't because I had been crying a lot I honestly had been grieving my dog's passing like all these months since and I just wasn't ready to look at that footage up until around two weeks ago I was just going about my normal Sunday I hadn't really like had plans to look at that footage but it was night time I had a pretty chill day and all of a sudden I just had this thought like I'm ready to look at the footage I finally got myself to look at the footage of my dog's last day three months later and another piece of context is that in the last couple of weeks I would say maybe around maybe around the last month or so I have been looking online for just any baby Shih Tzus in Virginia because that's where I live just to see because I knew I would want to get a dog me and my partner Thomas have always talked about getting a shih tzu of our own and just having that whole experience of getting him when he's a baby and just doing that raising it together so I had been kind of reaching out but every little shitzu that I found was taken so it just wasn't the right time and I told myself like okay when the time's right I will find one and we will take him home so it was all just really weird timing because on the night that I got myself to look at Timmy's last day Clips I was crying I was crying and I was just like having a moment to myself but literally you guys five minutes later the breeder for the shitzu that we're getting today got back to me said that this little guy was available and that I was actually the first one to reach out so if I wanted him then he would be mine so it was all just really really crazy I feel like the timing was in a way very perfect I would really like to believe that my dog in heaven sent me this little Shih Tzu puppy for me and for Thomas and yeah that's just like the whole story this all happened so so quickly because I genuinely did not think that this little puppy was like gonna be available it all just happened so quickly but I'm so excited we're picking him up today I don't know if this is gonna be a complete surprise to you because if you guys follow me on Instagram then you know that I did ask for any of your recommended stations for any dog shelters or animal shelters to donate to in the Virginia DC area because that's where I live and I got so many recommendations thank you guys I'm going to leave all the recommendations in the description box but I did want to donate to a local shelter or rescue just because I know that I'm making the decision to get my shitzu puppy as like a baby from a breeder and I did do my research to make sure this was all very ethical and that I was doing the right steps to get a little puppy but it was sitting in my head and Weighing on my heart that I wasn't adopting so I do want to just support my local shelter in any way so we'll do this when I get home but I did a lot of research I took your recommendations and I'm going to donate 500 to my local shelter called lost dog and cat rescue I'm Gonna Leave more information about lost dog and cat rescue in the description box if you guys are interested but they're just an amazing organization they're in DC Virginia and I just wanted to do my part in some way to show support for my local shelter so that's I think all the contacts that I have for you guys right now we are around an hour away we're in Starbucks right now Thomas getting coffee and we are so close I'm so excited I will tell you guys his name a little bit later on but this Vlog is just going to be me taking him home spending the whole first day together first night together and I'm gonna have a whole series too of like living with a new puppy things that we're learning and just everything and when we get home today I want to show you guys everything that we got to kind of like prepare for our puppy so that's everything I can't wait for you guys to see him and yeah I'll see you very soon with the little puppy stepped outside just to let my legs breathe but this is one of the podcasts that Thomas and I have been listening to to prepare for our puppy this is called your new puppy podcast and you guys this is such a good podcast you guys have to check them out they're like five to ten minute episodes they go through like different topics of whether they're a puppy or whether they're like an older dog that you're adopting there's so many helpful episodes there's like over 75 episodes and so Thomas and I have just been listening to these throughout the last two weeks to help prepare us and yeah I needed to that's because if any of you guys are getting a new puppy or if you're struggling with something with your current dog I would definitely definitely recommend your new puppy podcast the person who hosts the podcast Debbie she's actually a dog trainer too and she's just so concise very helpful with her tips and it's a really really good podcast so I definitely recommend this we have coffee this is just a regular cold brew quack thank you Thomas how excited are you I'm so excited I'm sorry okay foreign [Music] we love you so much oh my God this is so cute no someone's very tired I love you sweetie sweets made a pit stop at a gas station and this little boy was so good he did a nice PP outside now you're tired oh my gosh you guys he's literally the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life good boy yes we're home but she's so sweet come here come here yes yes look at this little tail oh actually no oh my goodness look at that little tail you're so excited you're so excited yeah in your new home oh good boy good boy oh do you like your little cream oh okay something that we're doing is putting a positive association with the crate so we put a little bit of treats just like little bits and pieces a little bit of kibble and then some water so that he knows that he gets these really yummy treats when he's in his crate and he's learning to love his crate so that's something that we learned from the podcast and from other YouTube videos that we were watching we just want him to enjoy the crate and to know that the crate is not a bad place you like your crate you're so cute you're so cute we also just put his collar on this is a baby collar that we got for him that hopefully should last him a while and he's definitely itching at it he's just very like this is also new to him but we just really want him to be comfortable with it so I think he's already getting used to it and if he's sleeping in his crate that's a really good thing baby is so tired speaking of the crate this is one of the things that we got in preparation for our puppies so we have this crate from chewy we got basically everything from chewy this crate is from chewy and it's really nice because it has a divider so when he starts to grow bigger we can get rid of this divider and then make the crate kind of more his size but this was the size recommendation too just like a little bit of room to move and some water and some food then we got this crate cover from Chewie too it's really nice because it has an open Flap on the side and on the front so hopefully this will become like his den something that he really likes it's honestly such a good sign that he's already sleeping here this is like the big big focus of the first three days there's like kind of zero expectations but if there's anything to do from day one is try to teach your puppy its name learn to love the crate and start potty training like immediately so that's the big focus of today in the next couple of days but so cute what a good little sweetie and then he had no accidents on the car ride back too he has just been an absolute Angel you guys I think he's so beautiful I really like the crate cover because it makes a little bit darker but since you can lift up the flaps he can just look over and see that we're right here and the crate is in the living room so we're kind of always in this whole entire room anyways so he'll always be able to see us if he wants or we can put it down when he's sleeping and yeah but for now since it's literally day one like minute one we just want him to be accustomed to it and just familiarize with it so not doing too much at once sweetie um but this is the wet food that he's been eating it's Purina One Plus [Music] oh my God [Music] [Laughter] come here yes good boy good boy good boy you're so smart you're so smart yes you are [Music] hi guys it is 9 45 now this is like a first day getting our puppy day and I'm gonna film a whole entirely first week having a new puppy while also working because I didn't take any PTO I really wish I took at least like three days of PTO right after I knew I was getting my dog just because I think it would help me kind of train him a little bit better but it's okay I'm just gonna work around it because I do work from home so it just means I'm gonna have to log on a little earlier or log off a little bit later so I can leave time in between to walk him and stuff and since it's the end of the day I do want to tell you guys what we named him his name is Beast it's like this whole inside joke slash like long story that Thomas and I have we've been dating since high school and we essentially use this emoji on Facebook Messenger just because he used to have an Android back in high school and then we just kind of always kept using Facebook Messenger as like how we talk to each other because it's like secluded from iMessage and everything I just know if I have a messenger notification it's from Thomas so we've always used Facebook messenger and one of the Emojis on Facebook messenger that we use is called beast and it's just like this white puppy and then we found out the sticker was named Beast like back in high school and so we've always kind of said if we ever got a dog we would name it Beast so that's what we're doing and I'm really excited about it I think it's really cute this is gonna be like a 10 pound beast and I'm so excited and I love him so much this was honestly such a good first day but I also know that the next like three days in general is just I should expect nothing like I know that this is really just like a transitional period for my dog to get acclimated to my environment and his new home and everything so I'm not gonna think too many patterns but he was really really really good today very Cooperative very sweet very calm so I really hope it lasts but you guys will just have to subscribe if you want to see the rest and I'm really excited and we will pick up this Vlog again tomorrow lastly I do want to show you guys the homepage of lost dog and cat rescue Foundation which is based out of Arlington and just from the whole DC Virginia metro area this is literally the home page like your donation will directly support the lost dog and cat rescue Foundation I'm still waiting for my email confirmation I'm really happy to support the lost dog and cat rescue Foundation thank you guys so much for your recommendations again I feel really good about this now I'm going to show you guys a clip of me and Thomas trying to teach Beast his name and it's just really cute because I think he's learning but we just have to keep doing this for the next couple of like weeks months so that he learns his name learns to love his crate learns how to focus on us and then learn like tricks and how to be obedient and everything I'm really excited so you guys should stick around subscribe and see all the Vlogs to come and I also realize right now I didn't show you guys my whole Chewie haul but honestly I've accumulated so much you just need the basics you need like a couple of toys a crate blankets towels food bowls food mat if you want one and food and I think that's really everything that I got so I will show you guys next time what everything looks like and I guess that's it hippie oh okay Beast peace come here oh no no [Music] please yes okay but oh yeah come here come here please come here come here Beast come here yes good boy you're
