Guess what? We adopted a dog on Sunday! Both boys, but especially my nine year old, have been nagging to get a dog for months. The time seemed right, so I started looking for a dog that would fit in well with us about a month ago.
Milo is a little over two years old and was living with a foster family because his original family either didn’t want him (crazy, right?) or wasn’t able to keep him for some reason. His adoption was done through a local shelter and it must have been written in the stars because not only did he need a home, but we wanted a dog just like him!
He is a Chihuahua mix and his name is Milo. We absolutely LOVE him and he totally fits right in here with us.
He hadn’t been here an hour and look at him all snuggled up with my nine year old!
It’s our first dog and we are so happy that we’re able to give him a good home.
Great addition, now the adventure will go more crazy, name Milo is also very cute 🙂
How cute is he heheh! by the looks of it he will be very happy and well loved in his new home with you 😉
Have a doggytastic week 😉
How sweet! He’s adorable, you’ll love having a dog with the kids. We’re obsessed with ours!
How lovely!
Greetings from Germany 🙂
Yay for the new dog and he truly is adorable!! 🙂
What a little sweetie pie!! I know he will give your son and all of you lots of love for all of his life.
Oh–he is SO cute!!! I grew up with a Chihuahua (for 16 years)–love them!
Milo is adoreable and I love the name. The only Chihuahua I have ever came in contact with, chased me from the neighbors clear to my house. LOL…. and I ran from the little tiny dog.
Congratulations. Beautiful dog.
Aahhh, how sweet is that. Looks like he found a forever home!
from my new fav commercial: He is Tres Adorbs! totes magoats!
Congrats on the new addition! 🙂
{{{waving hi to Milo}}}. He is just so super adorable and cuddly! I bet the boys are madly in love with him. Congrats on your newest addition, I’m so glad you were able to adopt a puppy in need of a loving home like yours!
What a little cutie. He’s such a sweet little thing.
Awww congratulations, he’s cute. We adopted a new kitty this weekend. We want a dog but not until we get to the country.
Awwww congrats on the new addition! Milo is so cute and such a lucky guy to have a great new family. All the best!
Oh he is a DOLL. You guys are going to enjoy him so much.
We have a half Chihuahua half pomeranian mix. Little dogs are great pets, we love ours 🙂 Congrats on the new addition to the family, he is adorable!!!
Milo is such a cutie! I can’t believe the previous owners let him go, but so happy you were able to give him a good home. I can’t wait to see all your upcoming blog posts about him 🙂
Looks like the boys are definitely in love! How sweet.

That’s a wonderful story! Christmas will be that much cheerier with Milo around. 🙂 Thanks for linking on Amanda’s Books and More!
He’s so cute!! We just got a dog a few months ago. about 6 months actually. He is our first dog too, and it’s been quite an adjustment. But the kids just adore him.
Oh how wonderful Robin! Milo is so dang cute. He looks almost identical to my sister’s Rat Terrier that they had for 16 yrs. His name was Rosco and he was so funny. He loved to run after a tennis ball in a panic run. He would not slow down ever. If you didn’t toss the ball again he would pick it up and toss it at you with his mouth and then bark once. I sure hope Milo is fun for your boys and that they have a life long bond with him.
OMG! He is adorable!! I love his coloring – so unique and so stinkin cute!! I’m sure it was love at first site…..and I love how peaceful he is with your 9 year old. He seems so calm! Does he ever get hyper and run around like crazy?? 🙂
What a cutie! It makes me miss our dogs that are no longer with us. Now I want a dog. lol
Oh congrats! I’m so excited for you!
He looks so sweet! Congratulations on your first dog, I couldnt imagine not having mine

I had a great uncle named Milo. Your little baby is so much better looking! 😀
Such a cute doggie! Isaak would be jealous! He loves dogs and cats.
Aww, what a little sweetie! I have a chihauhau and she is just the sweetest thing. She likes to cuddle with me under the blankets to keep warm.
Oh good grief!! Too adorable 🙂 Congratulations!
He is so stinkin’ cute!! It looks like everyone is a winner here! Good luck!

Awww! Hello Milo! He is adorable. Congratulations to you all on your new addition.
He is sooo darn cute. I would love to get a second dog but our house isn’t big enough.
I LOVE HIM!!!! Yay for you guys!! And so glad you could give him a good home. He looks so sweet!!!
That’s really great of your family to adopt. We dont have any pets due to allergies reasons. But i know my son would be soo happy if he had a little dog.
Awww! He is such a cutie. My sister in law has a Chihuahua and it is so spoiled. It has to be driven to my inlaws to be babysat during the day and picked up in the evening.
AWw what a cute looking doggie 🙂 Congrats on the new addition
You have such a cute member of the family. Congratulation! My sister has Chihuahua and kids love playing with him.

hee hee…
Milo doesn’t seem to display that notorious Chihuahua nervousness.
🙂
Stop by and LINK at San Francisco Bay. 🙂
So cute! Thanks for linking up!
Congrats he is adorable. Your family will really enjoy him…
Congratulations on the newest addition to the family. If you had lived close to us maybe you could have had our maltese. We just gave him up a week ago. 🙁
Congrats on your new furry family member! He looks like a cutie! Dogs are the best! We have 3 of them…I’m not allowed near the shelter anymore…
Aww, so cute. We have a dog that is a Labrador and Pit Bull Terrier mix and he is part of the family. Unfortunately, he is not the best behaved dog so we have some interesting stories to tell about his mishaps.
Congratulations! We have rescued 4 over the years and our last one is a little min pin which we just love. Your family will just love this.
lovely dog indeed…perfect companion for holiday!
What a sweetie! We almost got a dog on Sunday too!
«Louis» thanks you for your visit to his Wordless Wednesday post. It was actually quite brisk on that beach – not summer at all! The wind was clipping in off the Pacific at about 20 mph and the temperature was only about 50º – but the wind made it feel a lot colder! «Louis» was amazed that guy was in the water! The heated seats in the Vachemobile really felt good after taking this shot! 🙂
Awww! He is really adorable! So glad you found the perfect fit for your family — dogs are the best 🙂
Awwww, he is such a cutie! 🙂
Love the pictures! So beautiful!
What a sweet fur baby. I have two Chihuahua mixes and they are my adopted babies. I wish we lived closer I am sure Milo would be friends with my two, Raschal and Mocha. So happy you found a sweet baby for your family.
What a sweet-heart. Congratulations!
Wonderful shots!!
Have a fantastic week!
WW is up here
