Tomorrow marks the three year anniversary we brought Ruger the bulldog home.
When we brought him home that day, he was eight weeks old and weighed ten pounds.
That boy has been such a big part of our lives the past three years! Looking back now, I honestly had NO idea he would turn into such a wonderful, sweet 90 pound dog!
The first day we had Ruger, we walked him over to the park. He was so little!
National Pet Week
In honor of National Pet Week, we shared a story on Wednesday about how dogs can be good for your health. I also talked about my husbands health journey and how dogs really brightened some dark days. You can read more here.
I’ve been making a version of this smoothie all week. My favorite is making a Strawberry Lemonade version. I add 1 cup of strawberries, half of a lemon, lemon powder, and lemon juice to the mix….so good and energizing!
I love the days are getting longer, so the sunrises are showing up earlier. They are always so beautiful this time of year!
If you missed Tuesday’s post, we finally shared our DIY Lawn Fertilizer tutorial. We have had such a dry month already, and my grass was looking so dull. I have been using it every few weeks and watering after applying, the grass is looking so much more green and healthy. If you need some help with your lawn, definitely check it out! It’s so cheap and full of household items 🙂
Lastly, today is the last day for our 2 year anniversary giveaway! You can check out the story here. And if you haven’t entered yet, you can below. It will end tonight 🙂

Oh my goodness!! Happy anniversary to bringing Ruger home! Those pics of him as a puppy are the absolute cutest thing ever! Happy Friday girl!
Thanks girl! He was sooo precious. He grew up so fast!
OMG he was soooo cute! Your homemade fertilizer is so cool
He was the cutest puppy, can’t believe he is so big now 😮 Thank you!!
Happy 3 years with Ruger!!
Thank you! It’s been a wonderful 3 years 🙂
I do believe he was taller back then??? lol
I think he gets wider and shorter as get gets older lol
That slide photo is absolutely adorable. I can’t believe how much he has grown. I know he has brought so much into your lives. Thanks for letting the rest of us share him with you. Have a great weekend.
He was such a sweet little puppy! He has definitely enriched our lives, so happy to share his joy with others too 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Dogs really are the best! My Judy (chocolate Lab) works as a therapy dog, but I never thought she would work for ME one day. Two years ago, I was sexually assaulted and she pulled me from my absolute darkest days. Ruger is SO darling!!
Oh I am so sorry to hear you went through that, but what a blessing your dog was for you!
Oh Ruger – you’ve grown up so fast! What cute puppy photos, not that you’re not a handsome guy now. I know how much “mommy” and “daddy” (and puppy grandparents) love you… Happy adopt-a-versary! Happy weekend!
We do love him so much! And his grandma and grandpa love him too 🙂 He grew up soooo fast! Have a great weekend Laurie!
Aw, he was so little! Happy 3 Year Anniversary to Ruger!!
I hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
Lauren
He was such a tiny little puppy 🙂 Thanks Lauren! Have a great weekend too!
We too are the proud parents of a bulldog. His name is Spike. He was the runt of his litter though you wouldn’t know it now. They are so funny…..and stubborn…….and have to consider the pros and cons before doing anything. And depending on the circumstance his nickname is either Goofy Pooch or Knot Head Dog. I wouldn’t trade him for a million bucks. I love seeing pictures of Ruger, he’s a handsome boy.
Aw that is so great you are a bulldog parent too! They really are such funny dogs…and SO stubborn lol. Ruger has so many nicknames too. We have so many for all his little personalities!
Aww! Happy three year Adoptaversary Ruger!
Thank you!! Can’t believe it’s been three years!
OMG my heart melts when I see bulldog puppies. Makes me want another and then I remember Lola is a handful enough. September 5th is Lola’s 3rd birthday so it sounds like they’re close in age..
Bulldog puppies are the cutest!! Ruger was 3 in March, so they are very close in age!
Ruger is SO cute!! I love the picture on top of the slide!
That is one of my favorite pictures of him! He was so adorable 🙂
That sky pic is spectacular! Ruger is so cute. THat pic of him as a puppy at the top of the slide is adorable.
He was such a cute puppy! I love looking back at his old pictures 🙂
Love your recipes. I have a plant that looks like morning glory but is called bind weed. Weed killers take care of the green tops but the roots continue to spread. What is the solution.
Thank you! Those can be tricky to kill the root system. I haven’t had luck with any homemade weed killer for things like this or poison ivy yet. Since the roots systems are so intricut, it can be really tough to kill the entire plant! I will keep researching though!
