Oliver stole my heart from first sight! After my birthday dinner earlier in the month Billy and I walked into a nearby pet store just to "look". I said, "If there is a cocker spaniel in here we are in trouble!" As some of you know, Sophie (who lives with my parents), also a cocker spaniel that made it into our lives because she was sooo cute after a trip to the pet store to “look” about five years ago. Obviously I need to stay out of pet stores!! However, Oliver was sitting there with his brother and looked soooo cute. I couldn't bare the thought of splitting up "brothers" and we walked away because I definitely did not want two dogs in our new home. After two days I couldn't get this little guy off my mind so I called the store to see if he was still there and he was. Unknowingly that same afternoon, Billy had called to see if he was still there. Once we realized we both had called, we were in the car to rescue him from puppy prison and give him a new home. Oliver has done a fabulous job training and he is soo smart. We are enjoying him and glad to have a new member of the Bird household! Oh, and my friend ended up going to the puppy store to "look" and purchased Oliver's brother! Needless to say, I am guilt free and now Oliver can see his brother, Jake, anytime!
