1 Year Anniversary

Today we celebrated our one year anniversary with Luca. We got him last year the day after Thanksgiving. We adopted him from the rescue organization Second Chance Cocker Spaniel. I had wanted a dog for a while, but it took sometime to convince Rich we were ready. Once I saw the photo of Luca (then Snowball) I knew he was the dog for us. Rich still wasn't convinced, but as soon as he met him Luca won him over.

Luca is the best dog and a great companion. He is so cute especially when he is clean and a little fluffy. He also is very funny and has a great personality. When we have a bad day Luca always makes us laugh and cheers us up. Sometimes he can be a little stubborn, but that is just part of his charm. We try not to spoil him too much, but when Luca looks up with his big eyes it is sometimes hard to say no.

During the past year we have had some rough times, but Luca has made it easier. Luca is a great addition to our family and we are both grateful to have him in our home. I know he will get a little crazy in January when we have a baby, but I also know he will love and protect the baby...that's just the kind of dog he is.

Luca ripping open his new Blue Kong. Luca loves Kong toys.

Luca is ready to play with Rich and his blue Kong. We gave Luca some doggie cookies to celebrate his special day. Don't worry we only gave him a couple and saved the rest for later.Luca tried to open the cookies by himself. He is a smart dog and can usually get into things, but this plastic tub was too tricky for him.
Lisa helped Luca out and gave him a cookie. Luca was really excited and chomped down his treat in no time flat. He is a little piggy.
