m e e t l u c y + t a n n e r | miniature schnauzer puppies
My nephews received Lucy + Tanner for Christmas. Randon has been begging for years for a dog. My parents have been hesitant because they are already raising two extra children, they didn’t want to raise a puppy too. So when my dad put the kibosh on a boxer puppy, my mom decided on two miniature schnauzers. Growing up we had Sandy Mae, a salt + pepper schnauzer. It’s crazy to see these two puppies + be taken back to my childhood.
Santa gave my mom a call on Christmas Eve morning, telling the boys that he had made a mistake on their presents, that they needed to get in the car + head to Norman. The boys were very surprised to get not only one puppy but TWO! I had the flu so I got to spend much of the day with Tanner on my chest. It was the sweetest, to be able to cuddle him all day! To this day, when I come over, he’ll lay on my chest + fall asleep.
Lucy – she has a smaller face + is black/white.
Tanner – larger + salt/pepper.
Rylan picked the boy as “his” puppy, which was fine by Randon. He loves Lucy! Lucy was the name my mom wanted for her, so when Randon couldn’t come up with a name, she threw that out there + it stuck. Rylan on the other hand had all sorts of names picked out. At first he started calling him Patience, which I don’t think any of us were a fan of. At some point, I told him that he should probably pick another name. I wish I had it on video because it was the funniest thing.
R: I’m going to call him Patience.
K: How about another name?
R: Okay, he’s Tanner.
K: Stunned disbelief on my face.
Ever since, he’s Tanner. Or chunkie-monkey.
Just another day on the pool tarp!
They sleep cuddled up like this in their crate. It’s the sweetest thing!!
