New Addition!
Last week we added to our menagerie by bringing home a "sister" for Max!
We've been thinking about this, off and on, ever since we had to say goodbye to our Springer Spaniel Abe, last August. I really didn't want another puppy, and we thought it might be a good idea to adopt a rescue dog. After checking out Petfinder.com for several weeks, I came across a little wiener dog that looked like she would be a good fit for our family.
Meet Emma!!
We adopted Emma through "Magnificent Mutts," and I was very impressed with their organization. After our application was approved, we were able to go up north to the Chicago area to meet Emma. (Max was required to come with, too!) Apparently their were lots of applicants interested in Emma so were were lucky to get her. ( I think the fact that we're home all day most of the time gave us an edge.) Because Emma was in "foster care," the people she lived with could give us a good description of her personality. She's good with kids and other dogs, which was important! She's a very happy little thing and she's only a year old so she's plenty frisky and loves to play.
Emma is fearless and she's giving Max a run for his money, but they are having a ball together!!
Just like Max, she loves to be on someone's lap whenever she can.
She's only been here since Wednesday, but she acts like she owns the place and has been here forever. Max is learning all about bossy little sisters.....but he's also learning how to hold his own! And they're giving us plenty of entertainment!

Emma is a cutie, and I know Max must be in heaven with a little sister to play with. And thanks for the info on Mag Mutts.

I love the pictures of Max and Emma sleeping in their little beds and the lap nap. Seems like Emma has made herself home and that's what she needed. Congrats on the new baby.

Oh....she's just adorable! How fun for your family -- and for Emma. I love the picture of her sleeping in her very own bed -- she looks like she's finally found just where she belongs.

Emma looks like such a delight and Max is probably thrilled to have a little friend. I love the picture of the two of them asleep in their baskets.
