Our New Baby

It's funny how, after getting a new pup, one wants to get another one, then another one... For those who don't already know, hubby and I got another pup last June. Her name is Peanut and she is a black and tan Miniature Pinscher (min-pin for short). We got her when she was just a month and a half old and she looked more like a rat than a pup.

I really had no plans of actually "buying" her -- I just wanted to see her. When hubby saw her (and me fawning, I guess), he decided to get her for me and so began my little love affair with our new pup. When we accompanied her breeder to the vet, little Peanut was so frightened on the vet's cold metal table that she crawled under my left arm that was on the table. She stayed there and there was no turning back! She had me at "ngiork".

She's now a healthy and bouncy 9-month and has recently become an adult with her first period. Our big Beans (black Labrador) wouldn't leave her and kept tailing her. Since it's virtually impossible for them to mate (the thought actually horrifies me), I was able to breathe some.

She's a true terrier ("pinscher" is German for terrier) and has boundless energy. She leaps so high and canters like a little dear. I'll upload some videos as soon as I can.

So here's to our little Peanut!
