El Macho has arrived !!

About a month after Spring arrived one of the happiest days of Mortys and My life occurred. Somehow, someway, after 3 years of persistent badgering, Mom finally convinced Dad to get on board with getting a third dog. Dad put in some stipulations and mom was ecstatic ...

- it had to be a big dog, not one he had to bed over to pet

- it had to have an M name (Meat, Macho, Manly) 

- dad would not be potty training this dog, mostly because he wasn't conceding to the third dog begrudgingly but also because he just had hip surgery - ouch!!!)

This may come as a surprise to you - maybe not, but my mom is sneaky. She didn't tell us that dad had agreed to a puppy. She didn't even tell us she knew a litter of puppies was born, all they told us was that we were going to have a surprise after school one Friday. We thought it was going to be a person visitor and we kept trying to guess who. When that Friday in late April rolled around we were excited but clearly had no clue until mom showed up at school pick up with this...

Squeallllllll!!!!

Can you even stand it?!!! He was 7 weeks old. That's it!!

Macho got his name from El Macho in our favorite movie Despicable Me 2. We thought about the name Minion but it just didn't stick. 

Daddy's rehab partner (poor Daddy had hip surgery 2 days before we got him!)

Morty morning slot babysitting and potty cheerleader. 

We were instantly in love and have been ever since! Sadly, the big dogs weren't nearly as psyched. In fact it took a good 7 weeks but macho and muppet are finally buddies. Mousse? Well... At least he's not growling at him anymore!!
