Miss Maddie

This is the newest addition to our family! She's a mini schnauzer and her name is Maddie. She's been a doll, so far. Loves to be with the family and is great with the kids. Has done really well with potty training and is getting there with the kennel training. She's not a barker, thank heaven...unless she's in her kennel and that only last about 5 min. and then she's done when told to be quiet. We're loving having her in our family...
Now, some of you may be thinking...wait, don't they already have a dog? Well, we did. 2 previous dogs in fact, haha. So I'm going to clear the air on this before you hear the "untrue" tales of what happened from my husband or someone else, haha! When we got married we bought a mini schnauzer, Eli. He was great. But I got pregnant and was hormonal and emotional and we were moving in with my parents and we had to get rid of him. Always felt like that was a mistake, but it is what had to happen. About 3 years later we got another dog, Wally. He was a Yorkie/bichon mix. He was so cute, but had SOOOOOOO many issues. We found out about the time he was 1 that he came from a puppy mill and was inbreed, which explained a lot. But his issues were too much for me to handle with 2 toddlers and a newborn, so we sold him at the beginning of 2010. So here we are with Maddie :o) It feels like a great fit and with having our own home and a great, fenced backyard we're looking forward to all the fun and love that a new puppy/dog will bring to our family.
