And They Call It Puppy Love

Two weeks ago we decided that we needed a new dog that was a better fit for our little homebody family. We found this handsome little 7 yr. old dachshund mix at the local animal shelter and fell in love. We brought him home and after a small escape attempt we decided on his name. The kids picked his middle name(can you tell that our family LOVES Big Bang Theory?). Introducing... Houdini Wolowitz Parker.

He is a big cuddle bug and loves to have his belly and head rubbed

At first the cats detested him and us for bringing him home and but after a week they have become the best of friends and can often be seen cuddling and napping together. It is the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

His first night at home he slept outside but from then on out he somehow managed to con his Daddy into letting him sleep at the foot of our bed with his blanket. He has also gotten Daddy to bring him meat bones from the butcher once a week. He is a very spoiled little man.

One Pet, Two Pets.

That's right, we are no longer a one pet home. Today we went to the shelter and picked out the cutest little dog. He's 8 months old and is shy, loving, sweet and dang cute! He has a extremely sad story. 

He was born in Mississippi and spent the first 4 months of his life roaming 2 acres in Alpine, Ca. His owners were hoarders and the county seized him and all forty of his siblings. He had every worm a dog can have and was nursed back to health at the local shelter. He has scars from his siblings attacking him while he tried to eat. he's healing nicely and the staff were sad to see him go but glad that he will now have his forever home.

We are so excited to have in our home, and show him how a pet deserves to be loved. So without further ado...

MacGyver Vader Parker. 

Sage picked the first name with a little coaxing from me. It totally fits him, he seemed to be a little mischievous when we met with him. Aurora picked the middle name. Her choice comes as no surprise since she's a Star Wars freak.

We will be bringing him home Wednesday at 4. He's having his man surgery this weekend and they want him to rest a bit before we bring him to his forever home. We'll post more pictures once he's home, this is from the website.
