I can’t believe it’s already been almost 2 whole months since we found and now (officially) have adopted the newest member into the Hess family – our puppy…
ROADIE!!!!
 |
| OMG – isn’t he the CUTEST! I just want to squish his face!!! 😉 |
Like always, it’s easiest to explain the lengthy tales through video, so here I am trying to explain most of it:
From our vet visit, we found out the following information:
- Roadie is part rhodesian ridgeback, but obviously part something else – possibly a lab, boxer, or pit bull mix. He is about 45 pounds, so could get prettttty big!
- He is just about a year old – perfect age for us!
- He NEEDS a good home because we sadly found out he has some critical conditions that need to be treated immediately!
- He is actually really good at vet visits! 🙂
Things that make me fall in love with him more every day:
- He plays nicely with the cats, and doesn’t have to be separated from them – YAY!
- No matter how long we are gone from the house he is always SO excited to see us!
- He’s a great snuggler and wants to be loved on every chance he gets!
- Mr. Hess LOVES him and they are very cute together.
And the list could go on and on, but I’ll stop there. I LOVE HIM!!! Did I say that yet? So there’s PUPDATE #2 for you. I’ll keep you all posted along the way about how his treatments for heartworm are going – it can be a pretty scary process. But for now, I’ll leave you will a collection of Roadie pics from the last month or so – ENJOY! 🙂

| YUP – collar complete with nametag means hes OURS! 🙂 |
 |
| Mr. Hess is giving that “Really?” look to me as we get the total for his stuff! |
 |
| Making his nametag! |
 |
| Somebody doesn’t like to be wet – but he’s pretty tolerant of showers! |
 |
| Our first vet visit – poor thing! |
 |
| Roadie’s positive heartworm test and vet bill for treatment – OUCH! |
BUT….he’s worth it, don’t you think?!?!?
Here’s some more photos of us on our walks – he also loves to run with me and we go alllll the way (about 2 miles total) around our block – he’s a beast!
 |
| Taking a break by the lake on our run…ahhhh! |
And I’ll leave you with one of my favorites!!!!!!
 |
| L.O.V.E. him! |
Hope you enjoyed the PUPDATE!!!! I’m sure we’ll have more to come on our crazy journey to all becoming part of the “Hess” family in less than 5 months! 🙂
146 days to go…
Until next time,
Presh

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
