Puppy

Let the count down begin! After 4 years in Tallahassee on my own I have not only moved in to my own apartment, but I have finally had the opportunity to get a dog. I grew up with German Shepards and Labradors, hence I love big dogs. However, since moving to Tallahassee I have been able to get to know a variety of smaller breeds like the Boston Terrier, Jack Russell, Pug and more. Two years ago I was introduced to a family friend's dog, Wilbur, a French Bulldog. I quickly fell in love with the breed and have been obsessing about them ever since. For the past two months I have been seriously looking into dog breeds and most recently I moved and have changed my focus to look at great apartment breeds. Frenchies would be a great apartment dog. Unfortunately they run anywhere from $1500 to $3000+. With that in mind, I am no millionaire and the Frenchie was out. Then a few weeks ago good friends of mine got a black miniature Schnauzer named Pearl. She is adoreable and an awesome dog all around. After never considering such a dog Pearl quickly changed my mine and yesterday I picked out my very own miniature Schnauzer, a small black and gray female. The breed doesn't shed and is hypo-allergenic, not to mention they are cute and have great personalities. She comes home on March 21st and I cannot wait. It is hard even to imagine that a little puppy that fit in the palm of my hand will be my very own dog! I am heading back up to the breeder's home in Thomasville next week and will be taking lots of pictures of the little one!
