Princes and Riley after Beach Walk

Cocker Maltese Mix Riley Update

I was concerned that Riley was home alone all day when I'm at work. Because Riley seems to interact with other dogs so well when we go to the beach or the dog park I thought a friend might be good for him. I wanted a dog about his size and hoped the temperament would be even 1/2 as great as his. Riley is an easy going and loving dog. Well behaved and a great companion.

After interviewing several dogs we found a little gal named Princes who's owner was forced to give her up because he was being transferred back to Afghanistan. Princes was a 9 month old pure Cocker (Riley will be 3 this October 20). We invited her into the house and within a couple days she and my Cocker Maltese mix Riley became great friends. They play with each other a lot, Princes is just as well tempered and loving as Riley is.

Now both love to walk the beach - only difference is Princes will actually go in the water and romp around, while Riley is only happy if he only gets his feet wet. Both dogs get along great with all the other dogs and love any attention from people - especially kids.

Riley and I are still best "buds" but now I know he's not alone all day. Princes was a great addition to our pack.
