There comes a time where you have to let go of something good...my 14 year old cocker-king charles dog Comet will be put to rest on Tuesday and I think it will be one of the most heartwrenching moments of my life. Even thinking about this past weekend has made me sick to my stomach.
I had been looking for awhile for a new puppy to have at my new house! I love the cocker-king charles mix and the puppies are absolutely adorable. Well I went looking in the classifieds today to see what new cockers were for sale. Finding a cocker-king charles mix is VERY rare....but low and behold there was an ad for 3 males pups. I called. Found out they had a male that was a buff color with some white markings. I jumped on the opportunity to go see this little puppy....Dad and I trekked all the way out to the avenue side (that is far for us!!) and saw the puppy. Let me tell you, the cutest face I've ever seen. It has more cavalier king charles in him, so he's a smaller dog and skinnier then a cocker mix. But still darn cute! And the best thing about it, he was a little lighter color then Comet and he had a white marking right on his forehead, just like comet. The kicker for me was when he laid down and he spread out like a 'frog dog' as our family calls it..on their stomach with all legs stretched out (which means they have great hips and joints!!) That is EXACTLY what comet does. So it was fate; dad and i fell in love with him. He licked my face and I said sold!
Welcome home Thor Butler Gorman-Rice. Thor because Dad has wanted to name someone or something after this Norwegian God for some time now...mom said no on naming my brother Thor, so I said OK! :) And Butler because Courtney and Tory came up with it..and its just precious! So that is my new addition to the family. I will post pictures in the morning...as I have yet to accomplish anything since 2pm today and it's already 11:15. Thor fell asleep on my stomach tonight so it was easy to put him to sleep in his crate. Can't wait for all his aunts and uncles to see him! There are a lot!!!
