New Pup


As you know if you've been following my blog, my youngest daughter lost her beloved pet Lilly the mini schnauzer a couple of months ago. Well, although Lilly could not truly be replaced, we are getting a new puppy. I know there is a certain amount of insanity here. After all I'm very busy and puppies take a lot of time and attention. Needless to say, my children have all promised to help train the new pup and I have found that bringing a new member into your family just means more love. My wonderful sister in law has two litters of pure-bred mini schnauzers that are 3-4 weeks old right now and has very kindly offered one of them to my daughter, so we went to visit the pup on Sunday afternoon to try and pick one out. With 7 soft, snuggly little pups to pick from it's hard to pick one.

This little girl is my daughters first choice. She's solid black except for the white spot on her chest. I think the deal was sealed when the pup nuzzled her neck and licked her. The rest of the family was impressed with a little boy pup who is called a "phantom" because of his markings (he's the one with the light beard in the first picture above) so watch in December and see which pup we end up with!


I told my sis-in-law that I'd help her try to sell the other 6 pups, so if you know anyone who wants a pup just shoot me an email and I'll send you more pics. I'll even deliver the pup to you when it's old enough if you don't live too far away.
