Our new baby...
8 week old Miniature Schnauzer puppy! We brought him home a couple of days ago, adopting him from a lovely woman who rescues dogs. His name is Buster and he is wonderful, so lovely and fun. He is having a great time tormenting Lucy, our big dog, and Molly the cat.
There are more pictures of him on Flickr . We are going to the beach tonight, so hopefully more cute pictures to follow.
Here is the rescue website: http://www.gingerspetrescue.org/
Isn't it terrible that an animal needs rescuing at only 8 weeks?

That dog was born to be a Buster. Perfect name!

Makes you realize that people need to be responsible pet owners and get their pets neutered or spayed....

I can't even imagine not having a pet fixed with so many unwanted animals out there. I'm so happy to have rescued Buster. He had a brother that was adopted from Ginger's pet rescue as well. We love him so much!

When I look at dogs, there is a single criterion that defines whether or not I want to just take it home and snuggle with it--is he scrappy?
Buster is waaay scrappy. I want to play with him so bad right now.
PS: Lucy is rockin' some serious scrappiness as well. You've got some great pets.

I'm gonna recommend you take him to a groomer to get his ears plucked as soon as possible (unless he doesn't need it done, look in his ear canal, is it full of hair?)
Speaking as a dog groomer, Schnauzers have a LOT of ear hair (typically) which needs to be plucked to prevent ear infections, and get the air circulating. It's best to start at an early age; so they understand it is a part of life and won't be afraid.
You can just swing by a Petsmart and get it done on the spot.

SO CUTE!!!! He reminds me a bit of my super scrappy guy I rescued. I just want to snuggle him!

He's a super stinker! His new favorite thing to do is dig up the cat poo out of the garden and run around with it in his mouth!! We love him anyway :)

OMG he is so freakin cute! We have a black mini schnauzer too and love him most days. He is 4 now but was a cute ball of fur with a huge tummy when he was that age too!
