Meet the newest member of our family -- Baci (Ba-chee)! ❤️🐾 He's about 3 or 4 years old and full of crazy energy. For the first week, he had the zoomies from the moment he woke up in the morning, to the time he went to bed at night--with two power naps in-between. LOL. Slowly, he's becoming calmer and is beginning to adjust really well.

We weren't going to adopt another dog any time soon. We lost our beloved pup Rocky this summer and we were completely heartbroken. But the universe had other plans and when we stumbled on Baci's video, we fell in love with him instantly. He'd been at the shelter for almost a year and a half. And we knew his time in doggie jail was about to come to an end.

We thought he really needed us. Turns out, we really needed him, too. He's an 88 pound, adorable (just look at those ears!), sweet, smart, shepherd mix. (Just like Rocky was). He was found as a stray, and the person who spotted him thought he was a wolf. 😂 That's the reason they called him Yelawolf at the shelter. We think Baci suits him better. It means kisses in Italian. 🥰

We lost our precious pup, Rocky, this morning. I just can't stop crying. To say we are devastated by the loss is such an understatement. He went suddenly and without any pain, and we're so grateful for that. He was a big goofy boy that made us all laugh--the bestest boy that gave us pure joy. I have so many memories to cherish of him since he was by my side every single day since the day we adopted him. He even inspired our son to start a dog collar/leash business that saved hundreds of dogs from kill shelters.

There won't be a day that Rocky won't be missed. We love you so much, Pup-pup, Rock-a-roo. Until we meet again on the other side. Kisses, kisses, kisses to you, buddy. ❤
