Our newest addition to our family

Travis has been wanting another dog for awhile now. He would look at Craiglist all the time and show me all these adorable pics of cocker spaniels. I repeatedly said no. I didn't want to spend $150 for another dog (which is what people would ask for the 'rehoming' fee. And I didn't want to deal with training another dog when I had a new baby. But a couple of weeks ago, he came across a lady that was giving her cocker away free to a good home. I like free:) The couple was gone 18 hours a day and wanted him to have a family that would be able to give him more attention and love. Plus he was eight years old and already trained....another bonus!! So I agreed to go meet him at Sunset park. I wasn't saying yes to anything yet but I knew in the back of my mind that if we saw this dog that we would be taking him home. I was right. He was such a sweetie and before I knew it, we were driving home with him on my lap.
This pic is right after we got him and after a walk.

This is right after we got him cut:)

We named him Mahler because Trav loves the composer Gustav Mahler. There is a lot of cool trumpet in his music. I told him he could name this dog since I pretty much named Lady:)

He has been such a good boy! I really recommend getting an older dog. He is already house trained and knows what he needs to do. He is actually more of a dog than Lady is. Or should I say Princess Lady;) He loves the car, follows us everywhere (mostly Travis) and lays at our feet when we watch tv!! The only problem was that he wasn't fixed yet so we had to fork out some dough for that and he was humping my sibling's dogs. We took care of that Friday so hopefully that will be better this weekend.
This is right after we got him home after his surgery. Doesn't he look pathetic? :)

And princess Lady on the couch while Mahler is on the floor.

He found my boppy last night. He was so cute all curled up in it.

We already love him and are glad that he is in our home:)
