Well, technically…two amigos & one amiga.
Omar Little and his two new pals, Jenks (black) and Bailey (brown), on our recent trip back home for the holidays. If I hadn’t been on the other side of the lens taking this shot, I might think our lil guy was photo-shopped into the pic, as it’s an understatement to say that he’s not a fan of other dogs. Or at least he wasn’t before this trip. But with the aid of many treats (as seen above to get the three dogs to stare in the same direction long enough to take a photo), and an extremely kind and playful Bailey, Omar learned how to make some friends. And I kid you not, it nearly made me cry to see our “son” finally play with some other kids.

Here’s the first pic I took of little Omar back when we met him at the rescue shelter. To think that this guy was literally only a few hours away from being put down, nearly breaks my heart. Sure, he can be a handful at times, and we’ve still got some more training to do. But he’s come a long way in the short time that we’ve had him, and we’re so incredibly grateful to have him in our lives.
If you’re thinking about getting a pet, I seriously can’t encourage you enough to consider rescuing an animal. There are just so many “Omars” out there needing a good home that the last thing we should be doing as a society is breeding more pets, which directly results in other animals then having to be euthanized. The internet is littered with different rescue groups, so it’s never been more convenient to find a pet to your liking, and the Humane Society is also a great place to start your search as well.

Today Omar Little turns 2! At least that’s what the rescue group told us when we adopted him. Given though that he was a stray before being saved from the kill shelter, it’s probably any one’s guess what his official birthday is, but we’re happy to make it today. In honor of the lil guy’s special day, I’ve decided to post some pics of him all week.

Introducing the newest member of the Garr/Suffern clan…Omar Little Suffern! His namesake is one of the greatest characters of all time, and our favorite – Omar Little – from the show The Wire. We adopted this little guy from the good folks at Wild and Tame, It’s All the Same, who rescued Omar from a kill shelter on the day he was supposed to have been exterminated. Apparently, he’s about a year old and is a mix of daschund, doxie and chihuahua, thus his “little” frame. We’ve had Omar for a few days now, and we’re absolutely in love with him (though I think our cat, Maya, is probably gonna need just a bit more time to adjust).
