My Fur Babies are Celebs!

This is a picture that we submitted to the Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston (MSRH) for the upcoming 2007 Calendar.

There are lots of other much loved fur babies also being considered. And it just doesn't matter to Fritz (right) and Bella (left) if they get their own page or not. We all just want lots of humans to buy the calendar (and other neat stuff) so that the great people with MSRH can keep making happy families.

This is our "Happy Ending" story:

We made Bella a member of our family on July 5, 2006. And we weren't really sure at the time how she would fit into our family. First of all, we had never seen a white schnauzer before and were a little hesitant. We didn't know how another fur baby would change or impact our lives. Especially, our other (current) mini, Fritz - a six year old, 'only child.' Would he enjoy a companion? Would he feel slighted? Or jealous? How would he treat her?

Well, we took the plunge and we could not be happier. Fritz and Bella play together wonderfully! They run, and wrestle, and tug on toys. They sleep together (in our bed, of course), and usually right next to each other. They are constant companions. Bella is such an affectionate, loving, sweet little girl. So eager to please, so willing to learn, and so easy to train. When mommy is running errands or we go out for awhile, she has full run of the house with Fritz. No crating or confining necessary. And they are both at the door barking greetings and wagging their nubs when we come home. We just love her to pieces!

We are so grateful to Karen, Sherry, and Mona for helping us to make Bella a much loved and appreciated member of our family.
