I think I’d forgotten what life was like in that first week when the family gets a new puppy. How do you spell hectic? I think it’s P-U-P-P-Y.

Between the two of us, my husband I have been following our new puppy around the house pretty much 24-7, and we’d both fogotten how exhausting this can be. We now appreciate the consitency and predictability of our 7 year old dog more than ever.

He’s an adorable little guy, though, and when he’s housetrained, he’s going to be a great little dog. He’s half Miniature Schnauzer and half Scottie. If we follow the same pattern as in Maltese + Poodle = Maltipoo, and Schnauzer + Poodle = Schnoodle then Schnauzer + Scottie = Schnottie.

That maybe isn’t so dignified, but in a way, that quite describes him.

I’ll have a picture posted of him soon.
