Funny Boy!

Somebody was ready to go to Grandma and Papa's and took over Makenna's chair. We have to drag him out of it every time we get in the car. He thinks it's his seat...lol! :)

This little dude will lay on anything that is a blanket, jacket or even a towel. He just likes to be cuddled up on something comfy which is funny because he wouldn't even get on the couch when we first got him. I wonder if he wasn't allowed with his old owners:)

He will even lay on them if they are in a storage bucket:-) Anything to be comfy!!

Seriously so cute!!

Kenna loves her baby brother!! And Mahler sure loves his kids! :-)

Best Friends!!

Mr. Mahler has taken a liking to our Makenna!!

I've always wanted a dog that would sleep with the kids and that would be their dog. We knew that Lady would never do that. She will always be just me and Trav's dog. But even though Mahler was never around kids much, he loves them so much. He was Trav's shadow right when we first got him but he is now Makenna's dog:) He follows her everywhere. If she is upstairs, he is upstairs. If she is downstairs, he is downstairs. If she is outside...well, you guessed it. I decided to try to put him in her room one day to see if he would stay and sleep in their room. I guess the pics tell you that he did!! So dang cute!!

Poor Makenna never gets her bed to herself! Jordyn is always wanting to be on her bed. Most of the time it gets on her nerves and she tries to keep her off but every now and then I see this and it makes me so proud of what a good big sis Makenna is. She is so loving and it makes my heart burst!!

Ya gotta love it when they are asleep. It's so peaceful!

And just another pic of Makenna's dog!! He blends in well with the chair though:)

Silly doggy!

This new dog of ours has gotten very comfortable in our home. He really likes to sleep on the clean clothes that I put on the couch waiting to be folded or anywhere really. We found him sleeping like this! That is one silly doggy! :)

He loves his girls!!

Our new dog never had playmates in his old home! Well, he does now!! He loves his girls and they love to play with him (Jordyn loves to torment him). Lady is a princess and doesn't want to be bothered but Mahler loves to be involved in everything. I caught him climbing the stairs to get up to the trampoline today to play! It was so dang cute. It's nice to have a dog that wants to be playful and go for rides...not that we don't still love Lady. It's just different:)

Isn't that picture funny? He is such a good dog and he loves to be around us...constantly! We literally have to shove him back into the house when we leave because he wants to go every time we leave. He especially loves going over to Grandma's house to play with the other dogs. I'm so glad we got him fixed because he doesn't try to get with them anymore:) I'm actually thinking about letting him sleep in the girl's room. He goes in and lays on Kenna's bed when I am putting them to bed. What a sweetie!!

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:)
