Marlee ________ Jenkins

In my last post I promised a Super Wal-Mart story, however I couldn't wait for this one!

As of Sunday, September 24th, Richard and I are the proud parents of a new miniature schnauzer puppy! Yay! I have been looking very diligently for the last 2+ months and we have finally found her! We are so excited (and tired), about the new baby in the house! I will follow the example of another mommy-to-a-new-schnauzer I know, and tell you a few things about our new munchkin:

• She is yet to have a middle name...any help is welcomed! FYI: our other schnauzer is Maggie Louise.
• She was born August 3rd.
• She grew up in Abilene with her momma, daddy and four siblings.
• She didn't cry (except for one tiny whimper) all the way home from Abilene.
• She was almost named Abi (see above bullets), but her new daddy didn't like how Maggie and Abi sounded together...momma agreed.
• She was named Marlee with two "e's" because her momma didn't want people calling her Bob (even though her daddy does anyway).
• She is what the schnauzer world calls a "phantom." She is black with white/brown accents on her beard, feet, tail/bottom area and her eyebrows. She is bi-racial. Her momma was black and her daddy was salt and pepper.
• She loves to eat, paws in the bowl first and shakes all over while she's doing it!
• She HATES getting her hair cut and having a bath (both happened for the first time yesterday).
• She was in her first professional photo shoot today (hence the reason for the above bullet).
• She has the sweetest, skunky puppy breath you've ever smelled!
• She ADORES her big sister, Maggie (the verdict is still out on whether the opposite is true) and follows her EVERYWHERE!
• She's a cuddler.

Unfortunately, I can't get my camera and computer to cooperate with one another. I will try to get pictures up from my school computer tomorrow.

We are excited and can't wait to show you our new addition!

Until then...
