The Best Birthday Gift Ever

Elizabeth Boland · Jun 19, 2012 ·

Hello all! First of all, I want to tell you how much it meant to me, and how much it would have meant to Henry, for the sweet comments and emails I received following his passing. He truly was the most amazing pup I could have ever asked for; our 7 happy years together bring a smile to my face every time I think of my little man. For the past week instead of throwing myself a pity party, I have been running around chasing after the newest member of our family, Hank! The Mr. decided that if chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast in bed every morning wasn’t going to cheer me up, he had to resort to more drastic measures. Yes, I officially have the sweetest husband ever, and now the sweetest new puppy ever. Hank Boland is now 10 weeks old and basically running our lives. I told the Mr. he is lucky I am not quitting my job to be a stay at home Mom!

About Elizabeth Boland

I am a wife, Mom, and an Interior Designer. I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to work with one of my best friends. My Mom and I are partners in our Washington DC based design firm, Wilson Boland Design. In January 2010, we opened an Interior Design Studio in downtown Bethesda, which has evolved just as much as our business!

I started Haute Indoor Couture in the spring of 2011 to share portfolio pictures, inspiring ideas, and fellow designers with our clients and friends. I live for Interior Design and I love sharing my passion and enthusiasm with my readers. Most of the content you will find here is interior design, architecture, fashion, or canine related.

    what a lover! I bet he is keeping you on your toes!!! puppies are the greatest – I love how they go from getting into everything to being sacked out on the floor. Being a puppy is hard work!

    I have no doubts he will make Henry proud. He has an adorable face. Welcome to the family Master Hank.

    OMG I am dying. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I only hope he fills your heart as much as Henry. It took me 13 years from my last dog to my current dog. I never should have waited so long. I am now the proud parent of a 90 pound monster who thinks he is the bomb. He is a white lab sleeping on my navy blue sofa right this minute, and I love it all. xo, MB
    BTW I am not sure if more pictures will want me to get another puppy or not but please keep posting his pictures!

    So incredibly sorry to hear about Henry, but so happy for you with this new addition to your family. And the pictures! Can he be any cuter? Puppies are the absolute best and what a good hubby you have! Count your blessings sweetie, and have a happy Friday!
