Matthew Schaefer

Mabel doesn't exactly compete for Karen's attention, but she must always be by Karen's side when she's with Emmett. Very sweet.

When Emmett is nursing, Mabel is usually right by Karen's side. Essentially, this means that the dog has become the boy's footstool.

This is my dachshund, Mabel, chillaxing on the bed. Yes, chillaxing.
