More Four-legged love

      If you've been following this blog for a while or know me in real life...you'll remember the story about Max, our lovable chihuahua I bought on a whim back in August.  I thought my DH would die when I told him 1)how much I paid for him and 2) that we were actually the owners of dog #2.  

     On Monday night my DH was working overtime at an apartment complex located in our city's 'projects'.  He called me with a a big time sob story about this poor 5 year old Cocker Spaniel.  This story involves murder and robberies and the dog being in an empty apartment for days and it tugged on my heart strings as much as it did his. 

      We did alot of soul searching and conversing on Monday night and realized we were feeling the call to help one of God's helpless creatures.   We kept coming back to the fact that the financial burden or inconvenience of having 3 dogs did not outweigh that this was the good and right decision to make. 

      Both DH and I were raised with Cocker Spaniels and while they can have ear issues, happy bladders or skin problems we both feel that they are a very lovable breed.

      We jumped through a lot of hoops very quickly to get this dog into our home as she needed to go to the vet before entering our home.  DH picks her up on Friday morning and I cannot wait to get home from work on Friday.  Our other two dogs are trained to go on potty pads and they don't shed (well the Chihuahua does a little)....I'm eagerly anticipating having our first 'real' dog...one who goes to the bathroom outside, sheds and smells like a dog!   My parents have a rescued Great Dane and a rescued Chesapeake Bay Retriever and they keep joking that we need just a few more small dogs until we equal their pup's size!

     I'll post better pictures once we get her home with us!
