The Sunday Post #76 – Weekly Wrap-up
Welcome to my Sunday Post. Thank you to Kimba over at The Caffeinated Reviewer, who is hosting this weekly event. It is the perfect opportunity to share what happened here on my own blog, as well as some of the happenings elsewhere in the Blogosphere.
This week was nice and short! I only worked on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and am now off until April 4th. On Thursday, I went to Norway to pick up puppy Freddy, and we came home yesterday. So, here’s some puppy-love – we are all so very, very happy to have him here at home! The first plane ride was a bit hard for him, he didn’t really want to be in his tiny carrier, he wanted to be on my knees… The second plane ride went perfectly well, as I put him inside the little basket before I boarded the plane, and he slept the whole way.

Freddy is so cute! I wish I could take Baby on planes…I can buy an extra ticket for that, right? 🙂
I know that here in Europe, it has to be a small dog that can fit into a hand-luggage and be stored under the seat in front of me… Which is definitely a good reason to have a small dog IMO 😉
Your puppy is adorable! Is this the first dog for you and your family? I can only imagine how nervous a pet would be on an airplane. I’ve adopted all of my cats from somewhat local shelters, and the longest they’ve had to travel is a few hours in the car when I’ve moved…and they definitely don’t like it!
Enjoy your spring break!
It’s the first dog, yes 🙂 The kids are so, so happy, but then again, so are my husband and I. Freddy does well in the car, thank goodness, but I can understand that traveling isn’t really fun for animals.
Thanks for stopping by, Cristina 🙂

YAY! Freddy is finally home! He is adorable, congrats on your new fur-baby. I have been loving all the pictures!
Have a great week, Lexxie! Happy Reading! ox
Thank you, Michelle! We’re so happy to have him home with us… He’s a real little rascal, and I know we’ll have a lot of fun with him 🙂
Oh my goodness, he is so cute! I’m glad the second plane ride went better for him – poor baby! 🙂
-Lauren
I know, it was so sad to hear his little cries 🙁 I hope he’ll enjoy traveling, though, I’d love to be able to bring him if we decide to celebrate Christmas in Norway with my family 🙂
Cute pics! Glad the little guy is back with you- i’ll bet he’s glad too. 🙂
Happy Easter- have a good weekend!
He’s settling in very nicely, Greg 🙂
awww Freddy is adorable! I don’t blame me! I wouldn’t want to go in the carrier either 🙂
I know – he is much better with it now, as I want him inside of it when we’re driving as well… But the kids love chatting with him and making it easier 🙂
Puppy!!!! He is adorable. Looks like you had a great week, and I hope your next week is just as good. 🙂
I know, he’s such a cutie. I want to hold him and cuddle him all day long 🙂
O… M… G … Freddy is so stinking adorable!! I want to cuddle him. I have a short haired, do the long-haired shed a lot?
No, the long-haired doesn’t shed much, Christy 🙂 And his fur is so fluffy, like a teddy bear 😀 We cuddle him a lot, that’s for sure…
Puppy Freddy is absolutely adorable! I’m glad he’s made it home to you safely.
I love how you share other posts on the blogosphere as well! You always pick such good ones 🙂
Here at casa Lexxie, we’re all gaga over Freddy, that’s for sure!
I’m glad you enjoy the posts I share, I know I often miss stuff, so it’s nice to know I’m not the only one 🙂
I completely blanked everything after seeing photos of Freddy! He is adorable! Happy Easter! Have a great week and happy reading!
Ha! Then my job is done, Laura 🙂
Oh my how cute!!! Love puppies 🙂 Glad the second plane ride went better – Have a great week!
Oh my gosh Freddy is super cute!!! I just love puppies! Can’t wait to see more pictures!
So cute! Lets have lots and lots of Freddy pics!

Yay!! Puppy arrival. He is so cute. Enjoy your vacation and time with your little man. 🙂
Freddy is absolutely adorable! I am sure that your family is head over heels with him right now. I couldn’t imagine flying with a puppy. Our youngest puppy whines in the car so I am sure she would throw a fit in a plane. Enjoy your time off!
OMG LOOK AT FREDDIE!! He’s ADORABLE ♥ All snuggled up there!! Poor sweetie wanted to cuddle for his first plane ride! It’s good that he slept through the second one and after that he was home with you 😀 Oh and thanks for the shoutout my friend^^ Have a wonderful week and enjoy your vacation and new family member!! xx
Aww Freddy is so cute and adorable! I love those pictures where he sleeps on your knees. I can imagine the plane ride would’ve been a bit difficult for him, were you allowed to get him out of his carriage during the plane ride?
I’ll have to check out some of those posts you linked to, they sound interesting. I hope you’ll have a great week!
omggg! Lexxie, your puppy is SO SO SO cute! I NEED a dog, except my mother is super scared of them, so I just have to hang out with my friends’ pets!
Have an awesome week!
Welcome to the adorable Freddy! Enjoy….along with your new books. I’ve been noticing Just Fall on Amazon Vine, etc., and I’m curious. Off to check out your review.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

Aww, he’s so cute. I think I’m getting me another one soon. I have 2 cats, but I miss dogs. Haven’t had one since I had to put my baby down a few years ago because he kept having seizures. I think I want to get a rottweiler. My sister-in-law’s baby is so chunky and cute, and I just want one so bad.
Freddy is just so adorable!! *virtual pets and scratches* My kids are off, too this week for Spring Break. Except my daughter whose college had theirs a couple weeks ago. We’ll just be hanging out and relaxing. 🙂 Enjoy your new addition and time off!
ZOMG, that puppy is the so adorable! I want to hold him and cuddle him because, well how could someone not want to do that?! Give him a some scratches and pets from me! Have a great week and happy reading (and puppy spoiling! LOL!!)
I think all your posts from now on should include an obligatory puppy picture!!! If that can’t happen then your Instagram feed better be full of cute pup pics!!!
Seriously though, what a darling and oh my goodness what a journey for you and him!
Have a good week and give him big hugs from me!!
OMG YAY PUPPYYYY! He’s so cute! Also, you have such a long break! Hope you enjoy it 🙂

Oh he is so cute!! 🙂
oh I love the pics here…he is so adorable!! Hope you and your family are having fun with him.
I love the puppy! He’s so beautiful! I hope you guys have tons of fun with him.
I so wish I could cuddle Freddy too, Lexxie! I know y’all are enjoying having a puppy in the house! I’m kinda jealous. 😉 And I hope you enjoy having some time ‘off’. Hopefully we can chat this week! **BIG HUGS**

Freddie is so cuddly looking! For some reason I am not getting your email posts any more. Wonder what’s up with that? Hope you have a good week!
I agree, Lorna 🙂 He’s very cute and a true little rascal!
Sorry about the e-mails! I had to get rid of my old e-mail plugin, so you may have to sign up again. People were unable to unsubscribe from the one I used, and that just won’t do.
Have a good week yourself!
Awww, even though I’m late, I just had to come check out pics of your puppy – so adorable!!
Oh, and I almost forgot the main reason I came by in the first place – to wish you a happy belated birthday! I know I’m very late, but I still figure it’s better to be late than not say it at all. A puppy is a fantastic way to celebrate! 🙂
What an adorable puppy! So very cute! Congrats on the new addition to our family.
Norwegian puppy!!
Yeah, he’s a real viking! I tried to find a Norse name (male) starting with F, but I didn’t find one that appealed to me… Freddy was my dad’s name, and it fits him perfectly! Also, it’s a lot of fun to tell Freddy to sit, or to stay just because of that 😉
