Happy- I can't wait to see new pictures and hear all about your new furbaby adventures next week! It's amazing how much excitement goes hand in hand with these little bundles of fluff. Bet she brings out the puppy in Charlie too.
We had a handle on another litter in early September (different breeder) but the pups were born prematurely and didn't make it. Long, heart breaking story short, one male had survived 3 weeks only to succumb suddenly the day before we were to go meet him. Once we located Oliver I was afraid to get too excited until he was in my hot little hands. It was a stark reminder on how delicate life can be and made his homecoming all the more joyous.
CA Poppy- no, Oliver's not a rescue :-( I surfed several surrounding state sites, but given our situation, our criteria was rather tight this time around and I failed to find a good match. Of course, as law of average would have it, just a few days ago I saw a perfect candidate on a rescue site and had to fight the urge on pulling the trigger. As my friend in rescue so patiently reminded me (breathe in, breathe out) w/o a doubt that boy will be adopted into a forever home. Oliver is 5 months old and currently in that leggy stage (long frog leg stage).
Thanks everyone for sharing our joy! (hugs to all and their furkids from ours)

Congrats on the new schnauzer. We have had schnauzers for 39 years and are on #3 and 4. Our Teddy is a large black and silver and is 16-1/2 years old. Bell is a very light salt and pepper that we rescued in Tulsa about 5 years ago. Our daughter had two and her older one dies at 11 due to diabetes.
They are such wonder companions, we can not imagine life with out a schnauzer.

TXiceman- to have a mini live to 16 1/2 is quite an accomplishment; we've had two who made it past their 15th b-days. We've also had two who were diabetic (one being Teddy) and that's one of those diseases schnauzers seem more prone to. My heart goes out to your daughter b/c it's so very hard losing a furbaby but to lose one in their prime is devastating. Yep, with this breed it's easy to get hooked and even more difficult to have just one ;-)
Hugs sent to your furkids from ours.

Oliver is darling. How much will Oliver weigh when he's full grown? My friend is picking up her schnauzer Thursday, another Charlie. She said he will max out to be 15 lbs.
Today we're picking up our puppy. Can't wait.

Our 16-1/2 year old Mini schnauzer (he was a black and silver and named Teddy) passed to the Rainbow Bridge on November 4, 2009. He was doing good up to the last 2 days, when he finally was just worn out. Our vet has two older schnauzers in his practice.
He was a unique and very loved dog and will never be replaced. Our 7 year old female is adjusting to being an only dog.
