meet raider chastain

i would like to introduce you to the newest member of the chastain clan:
raider!
saturday afternoon, we decided to take a trip to the animal shelter to play with some puppies.  it was a beautiful day, and definitely one we did not want to waste indoors. so we headed over to the houston SPCA and stumbled across this little guy!
we weren't planning on getting a dog quite yet, bub-hub was going to surprise me for christmas, but he was too cute and too perfect for us. we just couldn't pass him up! 
#meanttobe #mfeo
he's a six year old american cocker spaniel.  
cutest dog ever right?
#crazydogmom #puppylove
he's super spunky, barely sheds, likes to play fetch and even knows a few tricks. he's the perfect fit for us and for our apartment.  i still can't believe he's ours! :)

if you wanna see photos of raider pop up on your instagram feed, follow me @mrschastain.
you know you can't resist the cuteness....

  4. He is adorable!! The no shedding is key! We had a German Shepherd for many years, loved him. But, omg the hair! It was terrible! You couldn't sit anywhere without getting dog hair on you! Now we are very anti-dogs that shed!haha

    Enjoy your new doggie!! It's always great to rescue!!
