Blog Dogs | Indy & Brooklyn

Welcome to Blog Dogs! Every week or so we're going to hang out with the dogs behind some of our favorite bloggers, because I can't get my fix off your Instagram feeds anymore! So if you're into pictures of cute puppies and getting to know all of the reasons why they're so stinking adorable, stay tuned. And if you'd like to tell us all about your dog, email me!

First up: my little muffins. Obvi. :)

1. Introduce us to your little furbaby!

Indy is my big handsome boy, and Brooklyn is my nugget. Monkeyman and Little Dog. Mr. Pinders and Brook-a-lyn. Indybug and Nuggiebear. I am a nicknaming connoisseur, just ask poor Fran-diddy.

2. Where and when and how did you get Indy and Nugget?

This would have taken roughly three novels... so we vlogged it. Oh yes, we. The three of us. Scroll scroll scroll!

3. What are their favorite toys?

Nugget's favorite toy is whatever Indy is playing with at the moment, usually one of these Nylabones... we have three in the apartment at all times. She also loves water bottles. He loves anything with a squeaker. They both really love ice cubes more than life itself so I don't know why I bother with toys.

4. Tell us your favorite Indy/Nugget story. Come on, you know you have one.

I have thousands. Some of them are in the vlog, others we'll save for another day. But also, this video where Nugget decided to growl at herself in the mirror.

AND after Indy had his big surgery we went to pick him up and the morphine he was on made him super weird. Like, he tried to climb in the back of the car but he stopped with his front half in the car and his back legs on the ground and just started whimpering because he couldn't figure out how to do it. It was very David After Dentist.

5. Do Indy and Nugget have any funny quirks?

Huskies aren't supposed to be able to bark, but Nuggiebear can because she was raised by Indy. So that's always a funny sound, because it's very not-doglike.

6. Where do they sleep?

Nugget sleeps in bed, on top of my legs at all times. Indy rotates between in front of the doors and the couch. He's our protector.

7. Can Indy or Nugget do any tricks?

I mean, they can both sit. I'm not a super on-top-of-it owner that way.

8. If you could describe Indy and Brooklyn's personality in one word, what would it be?

Indy: derpy. Because... he derps around when he gets excited. I don't know how else to explain it.

Brooklyn: sassypants.

9. Are there any doggy products you can't live without?

THE FURMINATOR. And Nylabones. And this portable carpet cleaner.

10. What's the best advice you have for someone who's considering getting a dog?

Be realistic about what you can handle. Like, oh I don't know... a puppy during grad school? Probably not. Know what you want going in, and stalk Petfinder.com until you find it. And you will find it, just be patient.

And now... the vlog! The first ever! The over/under on times I say "like" is 248.

OOTD | We Got Punx'ed

Jacket: Nordie's | Sweater: Old Navy | Skirt: F21 | Leggings: Target | Boots: Report | Scarf: Target | Earrings: F21

Woke up to like 4 inches of snow.
Don't mind the scuffs on my boots, just removed them from Punxsutawney Phil's ASS.

Like, I get it. I get that entertainment is probably hard to come by as a groundhog. Doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. And also I'm pretty sure the saying is "in like a lion, out like a lamb" not "in like a lion, out like an insufferable whoremonger." Get it right bro.

This man makes me proud to be an almost-prosecutor. And also an American.

I got a little somethin' somethin' for ya, Phil:

And whose mother names them Punxsutawney? Assskkkkiiinnnngggg to get your lunch money stolen.

OOTD | Excuse Me Sir, Are These Your Pants?

Top: apt. 9 / Kohl's - GO BUY IT! It's an Equipment dupe for like $25 | Jeans: American Eagle | Shoes: PG for Target | Bag: BCBGMAXAZRIA | Bracelets: Target | Rings: F21

I wore this Saturday night, took this picture Sunday morning, now it's Monday. THIS BLOG IS A TIME MACHINE

PROOF! Proof that I actually wear purses! This is actually my shamepurse, because even half price at TJMaxx it was approximately all of my grocery money for the month and I shouldn't have bought it but I did anyway and then just to be sure Responsible Sam couldn't return it when we untied her and took the sock out of her mouth, Shopaholic Sam cut the tags off. So to justify my little episode I've been wearing it literally everywhere. To the grocery store. To class. To the bathroom.

I've been dreaming of these shoes since I first saw them on Kristi (girlcrush alerrrrtttt) and I decided that since I'm going to be covered up in grad robes (THAT COST NINETY FOUR DOLLARS TO RENT... LET ME REITERATE THAT... TO RENT) it makes no sense to buy a graduation dress, but it makes all the sense in the world to buy graduation shoes, especially when the last pair in your size is on clearance. I bought them on a Target trip that I took while wearing the sweatpants I borrowed from my friend the night before. (Sidenote: mens' sweatpants are like leprechaun gold.) Anyway, she's not totally sure whose they are, a realization that dawned on me as I was walking into Target, so I spent the entire time wondering if my pants belonged to every guy in the store.

Fun new game: lock eyes with every man in Target and try to ask him with your mind if you're wearing his sweatpants.

Don't think I don't see your judgy eyes right now. I'm actually on day three and a half of a serious spring cleaning spree, mom. Am I the only person who gets messier as they clean? Not joking, my apartment smells like sunshine and fresh laundry and Pine Sol but it looks like a disaster. But by the end of the day YOU'LL ALL BE SORRY YOU LAUGHED AT ME.

That sounded a little scarier than I intended. I'm not actually going to chop any of you up with a chainsaw I'm just going to put my crap away.
