Our New Little Lady

Ssshh...she's taking a nap.

Now she's ready to play!

This is our new little puppy named "Lady" yep...after the movie "Lady & the Tramp"...yep...that makes 3 dogs and 3 kids now. She is a full bread Cocker Spaniel...Miss Maya fell in love with her at the pet store & would not let her go. We just couldn't help it..both sets of puppy dog eyes staring back at us....the tears...they took right hold of our heartstrings. When we got home we noticed the puppie's left eye had a bubble on it, so we called the pet store and told them...they said it was called "Cherry Eye" which is common in Cocker Spaniels...it's a weakening in the tissue/muscle around the eye/tear duct. Their vet tried to push it back in... but it came back and now she is scheduled to have surgery next week to remove it. For now we are putting anti-biotic ointment on the bottom eyelid. She has also undergone a hernia and is taking pills for kennel cough. Oh boy! It's a good thing she is such a sweet dog. Maya was told that she would be her dog "exclusively" to take care of and I've been quite proud of her. She really has taken great care of her; getting up with her in the middle of the night to take her out, feeding her, bathing her, and reminding me to give her medicine. We LOVE our "Little Lady"!
