Meet Caroline!!!

...or maybe Meggie... or Roxie... or Madison... or Paprika she hasn't told us totally for sure yet, but she is completely adorable. She is a 7 week old pure bred miniature schnauzer, and weighs about a pound and a half.

I felt a little guilty about not getting a shelter dog, but my allergies would not be too good with just any dog, and schnauzers are hypoallergenic! Also, we didn't want to have to break the shelter habits of barking like crazy all day long, and going to the bathroom in their kennel.

As for our choices in names: Caroline is after our favorite piano bar in NYC, Sweet Caroline's. Roxie is from the first show we saw on Broadway, Chicago. Madison- Madison Avenue. Molly, Luna or Lily from Harry Potter. Paprika because she's salt-n-pepper colored. The list goes on... any thoughts?

I like Caroline - it's a good name for a schnauzer. I won't be telling Gregg you got a miniature schnauzer. He grew up with them and would love to us to get one - he would be very jealous. She is adorable! I like the picture of Max - how does he feel about her?

Max was mildly interested yesterday, but today has decided he doesn't like her too much... He hasn't done much to her but growl & hiss from afar, but he swats at us when we walk by him...

My thoughts are, "Does she have any brothers or sisters that would like to relocate to south Texas?
