New Family Member

I would like to introduce the newest member of our family - Snickers, who is a 13 week old Schnoodle.  She is half Schnauzer and half Poodle.  After a number of years of asking, begging, and  pleading we finally agreed to bring a puppy into our house.  A couple of years ago, when the "get a dog campaign" began, we told our kids we would consider it when they turned 10, if continued to work hard and got good grades in school, and took a class on caring for a pet.  Well, last week they went to a week long summer camp called "Pets and Vets" and completed all the requirements so we couldn't put it off any longer.  We set out last Saturday to just look at some dogs to get an idea of what we wanted, and everyone fell in love with this sweet little puppy.  If our house survives the potty training phase, I think she's going to be a great addition to our family.  The photo was taken today on Snickers first trip to the Vet and the two proud owners you see are Marianna and Christopher.
