 Friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm on the WW or the Weight Watchers Blue Plan. Today we're not talking about weight watchers or weight loss. We are talking about puppies. As you know, if you follow my channel, we have recently decided to add an additional family member to our growing little family, a new puppy named Palmer. He is a Frenchton, which is 75% French Bulldog, 25% Boston Terrier. He's absolutely, positively, adorable. And today we are actually heading out to pick him up. The breeder is about eight hours away from us and she so graciously offered to meet us about an hour away from her house, saving us an hour each way of driving. So we're about to hit the road to head out for a seven hour drive. We're going to spend the night in a hotel tonight and pick up our baby tomorrow morning. So I'm gonna take you guys along with me. We're going to travel seven hours away to pick him up. You're going to see the first time that we see him, the introduction to our other two dogs, Diesel and Lola and a little bit of life the first few days after he comes into our home. So if you're excited for a video all about puppies, give this one a big huge thumbs up and don't forget, if you're new to my channel or you're not yet subscribed, you definitely wanna hit the subscribe button and ring the bell next to it because you'll be seeing a lot of Palmer puppy videos in the future.

So you never miss a single thing. So let's pack up, let's get on the road and let's go pick up Palmer. First thing I'm going to do is pack up some snacks to take with us. Some cheddar cheese popcorn, some chips, pretzels, and a Lani new bar. Of course, my favorite utopia snacks as well as some meat sticks, the minis and then these beef bites as well. Some legendary almonds. I haven't tried these yet and some of our favorite baked chips as well as verb energy. I'm gonna need all the energy I can get. I love these bars so much. And then I'm going to pack a couple of built bars as well just in case we run out of snacks. Are you ready for your new brother to come home? You guys ready? Let's get our treats before we go. We'll give you a big treat before we go. We'll miss you. Good boy, buddy. Come get your treat, Nuggy. All right, we're on the road. Troy stopped and got some McDonald's. We're gonna get a Starbucks coffee. We have about a seven hour drive. So we're gonna take turns driving. I'll pop in, show you guys what we're eating along the way. And then of course, when we get there and then we're picking Palmer up or she's meeting us first thing tomorrow morning. Are you excited to get Palmer, honey? No. Yay! I'm going to have a little morning snack. I forgot to show you guys, we did stop at Starbucks and I got of course the brown sugar oat milk latte. And I'm going to have one of these verb energy vanilla latte bars. 65 milligrams of caffeine which is about one shot of espresso. These bars are so incredibly delicious. You guys know I love these. 90 calories, three smart points. I love that it gives you that little burst of energy. I will link verb down below with a discount for you. 50% off their starter pack. Highly, highly recommend. You can't beat it. 90 calories, three points. So we are at a gas station. I showed you guys I'm gonna have a little verb energy bar. We are about an hour and a half into our six and a half hour drive. It's a beautiful sunny day which definitely makes it a little bit nicer of a drive. We are going to be flip-flopping. I'm driving the first couple of hours then Troy will drive. When we get into a little bit prettier scenery I'll kind of show you guys along the way as we drive. We are planning to check into the hotel once we get to Oregon and then we're gonna go out for dinner and just have a very relaxed night because tomorrow morning bright and early we're picking up Palmer. We are officially in Oregon. We're in Pendleton, Oregon. We're at Wendy's getting some lunch. So first I got a diet Coke and then I'll show you my lunch when Troy brings it out. He ran in to use the restroom but we are about two and a half hours away from our destination. All right, so here's my lunch. I did their $5 biggie bag. So I have a little burger, a four piece nugget, a fry and some barbecue sauce. You had me at home cause where you go is where I go. We're in our hotel room. We're staying at a holiday in Express. It's perfect. We're kind of in the middle of town so we can easily go to stores or restaurants. It looks like they have a cute little meeting area with a barbecue pit and a cute little fountain. It's perfect, really affordable and they have a free breakfast for us in the morning. Cause where you go is where I go. I don't need nobody else. I got you and you got me too. Next day. Good morning guys. Happy Saturday. It is currently about seven in the morning here. She is on her way with Palmer. He should be here in about a half of an hour. We just had a quick breakfast here at the hotel, coffee, yogurt, turkey sausage, egg white omelet and a small cinnamon roll. And then we are going to of course stop for real coffee as I like to call it on a on our way home. And then we are headed home for another really long day of driving a little over seven hours. So when he gets here, of course, I'll take some video and show you guys and you'll travel back home with us and see him meet Diesel and Lola for the first time. But we couldn't be more excited. He has a leash that we brought with us. And then we also had a little name tag made for him. The breeder sent him with the collar. So that's Palmer's little stash for the way home. Here's today's OOTD. I just have this cute kind of long tunic sweatshirt from Torrid. And then I'm just wearing some black leggings and some flip flops to make it easy on the way home. Here's Palmer. Hold him up so you can see how small he is. Here's the, here's the size of him. He's a little guy. Yeah, he's a little guy. Is it that you do? Palmer's first time. Oh, he's eating the snow. You like the snow, buddy? Diesel, that's your new brother. It's okay, buddy. Excuse me. Why don't you go potty, buddy? Well, you don't play with your sister, don't you? Yeah. Say, I'm a grumpy old man and I don't want Palmer to buzz me. Yeah, huh, buddy? You happy in the sun? Yeah, he goes to his dad for protection. He has no sense of fear. Yeah. You two are doing, you growl at him and your sister wants to play. Yeah. Get it? Picking up our new puppy Palmer, he is absolutely adorable. And let me tell you, that little stinker is super smart. He's already figured out where his treats are, how to climb the stairs. He's working on learning how to sit. He knows to go potty outside. We haven't had a single indoor accident. He's smart, but he's also stubborn, which is a trait of this type of puppy. So I hope you enjoyed coming along on our little road trip with us and seeing kind of how Palmer, Diesel and Lola are doing and adapting to having a new member of our family.
