I was told my lovely Niece that today was her birthday!

I have been occupied with work and Junior so my days have been all screwy. Not to mention being on the other side of the country doesn’t help things.

So to my LOVELY NIECE Samantha, HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!!! (WOOHOO bells, whistles, horns, confetti)

And now you don’t have to scowl me anymore.

Have a great one!!! Miss you lots!

Love Uncle Gus

Well it is now a week that Junior has joined our little “clan” and the adjustment is coming along fine for all of us involved. I definitely forgot how demanding it is to have a puppy around. You have to constantly keep an eye out on him so he doesn’t do “his business” and you have to make sure as he investigates his surroundings he doesn’t get into any area that he is not suppose to be.

Junior also had his first vet visit with me on Saturday. I was surprised to find out that Junior isn’t as young as we thought he was. By the vet’s assessment, Junior is more like 4 - 5 months old as he is already getting his adult teeth. This was alittle shocking as I thought I was getting an 8 week old puppy. Not that this really matters as he is so LOVED now it would be heartbreaking to have him “exchanged”.

The good news with this all is that he is in great health, didn’t whimper at all when the vet gave him one of his shots. Also this now allows us to be alittle more “aggressive” in our potty training.

I’ve decided to use the Crate Method as it is more beneficial to all parties involved. Basically he is in his crate at night, or when we need to be away from the house. This will allow him to get use to not going potty where he sleeps. Upon letting him out of the crate (his “room”) we immediately take him outside. He has been doing great these past couple of days on this method, only 2 accidents.

I’ll try to post about other things, but for right now, it’s fun being a “parent” even if it is to a puppy.

After a world wind trip on Saturday and returning Sunday from Vernon British Columbia, I am proud to introduce Junior to the world. Junior is a black and white (though kinda brownish) miniature schnauzer pup. He is 8 weeks old and adjusting very well to his new life in the big city of Vancouver.

I’m sure there will be some challenges ahead, but he’s just so cute!!!

This weekend Russ and myself will travel into Vernon (part of the interior of British Columbia) to pick up “Junior” our soon to be miniature schnauzer pup.

The breeder has told me there are 2 males currently to my “specifications” and I will just have to determine which one to take home. I know it will be a very VERY difficult decision, but only one can return home with us.

I’m kinda excited and very scared at the same time. This will mean alot of responsibility and I believe I’m ready for it.

I’ll post some pictures of “Junior” when I have some.

For all those who know me, they know that I have been wanting a dog for a few years now. I haven’t gotten one for a few reasons.

1 - Russ had a gorgeous cat named Chelsea and I didn’t think it would be fair to intrude in her space,
2 - I have been busy with work and didn’t think I could manage my time
3 - I just didn’t have the cash.

Lately all 3 reasons have been put aside, we no longer have Chelsea (link), I have been able to manage my work time and commitments, and lastly cash flow has been great.

I have been making a few calls to some breeders lately and I am getting closer than ever to have a new 4 legged family memeber. I’m definately eyeing a Miniture Schnauzer and hopefully within the next 3 months or so I will be able to introduce him/her to the world.
