Awwww, bless her heart! Being a dog mom is so rewarding, I just lost my little chihuahua Wednesday😢😢😢 She would have been 17 on May 6. I adopted her when she was 3 months old. So hard to say goodbye. Enjoy your sweet baby!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you SO much for choosing to ADOPT
That’s how our Evee girl 🐈 picked us. We went to the shelter to adopt, and while interacting with other cats, she reached her paw out of the crate and gently tapped me on the back of the leg. That sealed the deal for me ♥️ 3 years later, I can’t imagine having chosen anyone else
New Puppy Parent Tip - watch the Zach George UA-cam training videos...they're great and super helpful!
Totally agree! I love his videos!
Puppies have the purest souls 😭 Enjoy this new experience 💙 it's the best!
You will be glad you documented this! I am so wishing I would have vlogged my puppy pick up day!!
Congrats!!! Look into an easy walk harness... It's amazing. Game changer.
I could not stop smiling watching this whole vlog!! She is so adorable with such a great temperament!! Congrats you guys!
awww thank you you're so sweet!!
Puppies between 8-16 weeks typically need to go outside every 2-3 hours to avoid accidents. If you take them outside before they have the chance to have an accident it will potty train them easier and quicker.
Pro tip: if your puppy eats something it shouldn’t or it might be sick mix pumpkin purée in with a Little hot water and it’s regular dry food. It’s a natural laxative and will help the digestion. We did this with our puppies in litters I’ve raised in order to kick start they’re digestive systems. If you have any other questions I’m quite informed on puppy matters so please let me know.
Awww!!! Cashew!! Welcome to the #healthnutfamily 🥑🥑🥑 what a beautiful puppy!!! Congratulations you guys!!!!
This is exactly why it is important to meet the puppy in person. Because what you like may not mesh so well personality wise. And now you ended up with a puppy who is the perfect fit. Congratulations! Cashew is so cute.❤💚💜💙💛
Couldn't agree more and thank you so much for the support! xo
If she cries in the crate at night, you can cover it with a blanket and it should calm her. That really helped my puppy. Also be firm when training lol! She’s so so so cute I love her! 😭❤️
Having a dog is definitely one of the best thing ever! I have two and recently lost my senior girl at almost 14 years old. We adopted another dog 3 weeks after and he is such a mush. Best advice is repetition and a schedule. My pups are like clock work 🤣. Also both my pups love their crates. It’s a safe place for them. Don’t leave any toys in the crate when not homeIncase she goes crazy ripping it apart and decided to swallow some of it. I usually leave treats hidden or a bone. Congratulations on being furry parents.
thank you so much for the helpful tips! Im slowly getting her use to her day crate but even 5 min in there she is not a happy camper. I did recently put a kong with a lil PB and that helped. Sounds like you got cute new pup on your hands.
I have 2 small dogs and they LOVE ❤️ kale, stalk and all! We grew it in the garden and they would literally take it out of the garden when we were outside. When she starts teething, watch for the teeth falling out! Having a dog is the best thing ever! She will be life changing!!!! I could never imagine my life without dogs!!! I hope you enjoy every moment you have with her!! 🥰💜🥰😊 More Cashew please lol
Cashew is so affectionate!! I totally get why you wouldn't stop talking about her, I wouldn't either!
Put a hot-water bottle with water that is cooler then what you would put in it for yourself but still warm. Pop that in the sleeping crate with a blanket over top. Puppies are used to sleeping with other animals and can get chilled! Other than that, she is absolutely adorable and I know you both will make excellent dog parents. Proud Golden-Retriever owner for the past 12 years wishing you both luck and loads of puppy love! P.S. I totally understand the Instagram account thing, we've got one for our golden as well!
Congrats! Dogs bring such joy to our lives and are just like family! ❤️ My husband and I have three and always tell people they are our children! 🐶🐶🐶 Enjoy the joys of being a dog mom and dad!
Having a dog in your life is the best thing ever. How I loved having my dogs. They were my babies and a big part of the family.
She chose you! What a beautiful story! You are going to be very happy together. ❤️
I am sure you made the right decision she's ADORABLE ❤❤
Cashew is so beautiful and so lucky to have you two as her parents! Congrats to your little family!! As a dog mom of two large dogs, I will say that it is super important to set boundaries early on. When you mentioned the couch situation, I thought of my dogs. They were allowed on the couches as pups but as they got older and now are around 80 lbs each, they have not been allowed on the couches. It was extremely hard to get them to understand that they are no longer allowed on the couches. So one piece of advice is to not allow her on your furniture, whether it is a bed, sofa, etc. very early on. Also, invest in swiffer. It'll be a life saver for your home as she will shed (possibly a ton). Good luck!!
you should make homemade dog food and treats!!
Cashew is so cute! She will be on the couch soon enough! Enjoy!!!
Congratulations on your ADORABLE new Cashew! As the human of two Boxers, and being knowledgeable of Mastiffs as well, I can tell you that she is going to be BIG and she will NEED a LOT of exercise - BUT you NEED to be mindful of how much boisterous exercise and how far you let her run because her joints are still growing. Please Google it, or a good book about Boxers or Mastiffs should cover that. Now I've got puppy fever :-)
Congrats!
Best decision ever! Dogs give you the purest love for so little in return. She's amazing!😍
So happy to hear that!
She is beautiful! You too were beaming! So happy for you!🥰🥰🥰
So cute -- congratulations !!! I'd like to point out something ... You might want to re-think the grain free food. There is no reason for your pup to be eating grain free. Grains provide nutrients for cardiac health. I know here in the US it's been a big news story about the link between grain free diets and heart disease in dogs. Also, if she is part Boxer it's even more important. Boxers have a predisposition to getting cardiomyopathy (enlarged heart). Please check with your veterinarian. If you're worried about allergies, it's usually the protein source, not the grain, that is the cause. CONGRATULATIONS on your new baby. She is precious and I wish you many years of happiness with her. Dogs are the best !!!!
Ill look into it thanks :)
Congratulations!!! I just got an Italian mastif literally the day you got cashew! I've been waiting 10 years to get my puppy and its true 😊
Bernadette Datka never heard of an Italian mastiff
Claudia Badia there beautiful bigger than a great Dane
Bernadette Datka how did you get your puppy and also what did you name him or her
Omgg I’m so happy for you guys!! Yay a new member that will bring happiness to the both of you❤️
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! And it's so true what they say, the dog picks the owner!! SO happy for you guys!!!❤️❤️❤️ Welcome to the Health Nut Fam baby Cashew!!!!
thank you!
Cashew is adorable!! I have had 4 puppies, including a boxer, and a tip is to get a harness instead of attaching the lead to the collar. This is especially important with barrel chested dogs like boxers. Also, as hard as it is, be very strict about the rules NOW while she is a puppy. It is really hard BC they are just so cute but you will thank yourself later that you don't have a constant battle to get her to follow your commands and rules. Also, small little training sessions, like 5-10 minutes a few times per day is the quickest way I have found to teach puppies commands and tricks. Good luck!
Amanda Bowers for puppies at once and also what kind of puppies were there or are they
The same exact thing just happened to my parents when they got a new dog. He just stopped what he was doing and looked at them. It was as if he knew they were his people. ❤️
Congratulations!!!! I got my bulldog puppy when he was 7 weeks old... he's now 11 years old! I had a puppy shower for him at a park near my home and all my friends came by to meet him and bring him toys! It was so much fun!!! I took a week off from work to get him acclimated to his new home. My best advice is to crate train her. I would put him in his crate and immediately after he would wake up I would take him outside. Consistency is key! He was potty trained in no time. He now goes to the door when he needs to go out and even when I'm not in the room he will bark to get my attention. I can count on both hands the times he went in the house in 11 years and half of them were me moving too slowly! Also wear socks.... puppy teeth are sharp!
Great advice and yes to the socks haha
You made the right decision! Same thing happened to us! She’s adorable... 😍
OH my gosh she is adorable.
I’m so happy for you guys and congratulations 🎊🍾🎈 many happy and healthy years with cashew.
Obviously the perfect pick! My heart is melting.❤️
I'm so excited for you and Matt!!!! Cashew is so cute and so sweet. It looks like she felt right at home quickly. Dogs have great instincts and she definitely knew that you are her mom. I have an English bulldog named Penelope and she is without a doubt the best thing that's ever come into my life . You will become the annoying parent that always talks about and shows pictures of your dog in EVERY.SINGLE.SITUATION so embrace it! They are only with us a short time and they need us as much as we need them. Congrats again she is going to make your life so much more fun!
Im so happy she picked us!
Congratulations. Your life's gonna change forever now. You have with you one of the purest souls.😘😘
I’m so happy for y’all!! Cashew is gorgeous!
Congrats on Cashew! We just got a golden retriever. Puppy tip- make cashew sit and stay in front of dog bowl before eating. We put the food down, make our dog sit and stay and can only start eating when we say “ok”. We’ve gotten to the point now where he does this without us holding him or anything :)
OMG THIS IS ONE CUTE DOG! I love her already.
She’s sooo cute! Congrats! Reminds me of when my boxer was little. 💕
Congrats on your puppy!! I just wanted to give you a little tip about the dog food tho, i’m in vet tech school and am also a doggy mama myself so i’ve done a fair share of research on foods and grain free diets aren’t completely the way to go. it’s showing that dogs that have been on that diet for years tend to have heart failure so it’s really important that you give her some type of grains with her food, even if it’s just some cooked rice or make sure her treats have some grains in them!! but good luck to you guys, she’s the cutest lil girl!!💗
oh my god she is so beautiful!!!! Congrats you guys!!! honestly having a dog in your fam is one of the most purest amazing things to experience
Yayyy congrats!!! Dont feel bad about changing your mind. They say your dog will choose you not the other way around. She will be so loved!! So happy for you and Matt ❤🐕❤
OMGs she has such a sweet escence to her I just can't get enough of her. She is so cute and sweet, her eyes and how she just complements you, I am going to cry. Blessings for you three ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video gave me all the feels. We brought our baby, Walter home a year ago and this brought back so many good memories. And it's true, the dog does choose the owner. We had a similar experience picking out Walter. He chose us! 🐶🐶🐶❤❤❤
So cute. She will make your life even happier.
Congrats on you and Matt's new pup!
So cute!!
Congratulations....she is adorable, so friendly and calm...❤️❤️
You're giving me puppy fever! Congrats Mom and Dad!
Got tears in my eyes!! There is nothing like getting your first doggie. She will change you in the best ways possible. ❤️ 🐶
aww thank you!
You guys are too cute🥰🐶 Welcome to parenthood 😆
Stay you 😘
She is ADORABLE! Congratulations! 🤗🎉💕
Congrats on your new addition! So adorable!
Awh we also adopted a puppy today... A weimaraner callers Blue 💙
My tip for you is patience! Patience with potty training, because that can be very difficult for some dogs. Patience with chewing, biting, etc., with whining, and with walking! For example, they don’t know how to walk on a leash yet but they’ll never learn if you always pick them up. With my puppy Daphne, it took us a hour just to get from the parking lot to the walking trail, but by the time we finished our walk, she was walking like a pro! My partner wanted to just pick her up, but I persisted and she did great! It’s all about taking your time, because your pup can sense if you’re frustrated with them and it will change their whole demeanor!
I love her!!!! Good choice mama! My advice is consistency and routine, dogs need it! Also make her crate a safe place and a place she enjoys being. Not a place for punishment or she will resent going in there to sleep. Give her some food or treats every time she goes in and she'll be happy to go in every time. Good luck!!
Thank you for these great tips!
Oh my goodness, your new little puppy is soo cute.
I cried because I want a dog myself so bad, but I won’t be able to have one until 2-3 years. Congratulations she is adorable 😭❤️
honestly I've been wanting one for years but Im so glad I waited for the right time!
Awww, so cute!!!! Congratulations!!! And lots of luck, you got this!!!
She is precious!
Cashew is so sweet! ❤️ congrats puppy parents!❤️

I was so happy when you said you switched dogs! Even just watching the video, she seemed like the one for you! I actually did the same thing at the shelter, went intending to get one dog, left with a totally different one. They really do pick you! 🐶❤
Im so happy to!
What a beautiful family ❤
aww she’s so cute
She is the cutest. I have two adopted dogs - Oliver and Malu. I Love them so much. You are going to Love being a dog mom. Cashew is so lucky!

Ahhh I love her already! ❤️
Best vlog ever. I’m obsessed with dogs and this made my day! So happy for you guys. More Cashew please 😉
She is so cute!! We had a similar thing happen to us. When to the rescue with a certain puppy in mind, they brought out another one just to give him so play time and we left with him. Best decision ever!! 🥑🥑
You are so cute. I love your excitement and enthusiasm for a new puppy. Cashew is going to be very loved and spoiled. Enjoy your new sweet baby ;)
❤️❤️❤️ Cashew❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on your new puppy 🐶
Aww she’s so cute!
I'm in lugged with baby cashew!!!😍
When you said you made the impulsive choice to go see Cashew's litter.. I can relate! My hubby and I wanted a dog for so long, met our dogs brother and HAD to go get our own🐕🥰 congrats, so worth it!
Omg !!!! So cute !!!!!! My dog passed away 3 years ago and I can’t wait to adopt my next dog ! It’s a life changing experience !!!!
So excited for you and Matt !!! Congrats
Ps: the best memories I had with my dog was when he slept next to my feet at night , he was my little heat machine ! His little body would curl up like a croissant and heat my feet up ! Ughhh miss him so much !
We went to look at puppies four years ago and we were for sure we were going to go with this super cute boy named Leon. We got there and was playing with all of them, and Leon’s sister Lucy bit my husbands beard and we just fell in love with her, lol. Lucy made a great addition to our family and she is a great younger but big sister to our shihtzu! Sometimes the dog will choose you!
Awweee CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! I've had dogs my whole life (just adopted a new one in august) but make time for puppy classes with each new dog. Its a nice refresher on how to train a dog and holds you accountable to keep practicing! Plus, its great socialization for your dog. My dog went through three 6 week sessions and we still have playdates with one of his classmates. Good luck and remember...when all else fails, hug the dog!
shes starting next wed and I cant wait!
Open Farm is amazing dog food! I'm so glad you got Cashew on it!
Cashew!! Thats a great name! Congrats on the puppy 😍
