Miniature Schnauzer Cleo

Miss Cleo was born Oct. 27, 2009. She is the GREATEST!!!
My Husband bought her for me as a Christmas gift. We drove 100 miles in freezing rain to pick her up. Oh my she was the most precious thing i had ever seen!!!! She was sooo tiny. Her breeder is also a groomer so at almost 6 weeks old she already had her first Schnauzer cut, she was perfect.

She loves her human brothers, if she finds their belongings after they have gone to school she will pick it up and sit at their door and whine for them. I always have to remind her they will be home soon. Miss Cleo loves her human dad as well. She sits on the back of the couch until he gets home from work then she anxiously waits at the door wagging her lil nubbin' tail until he opens the door and picks her up. I might add she is a little spoiled, she is our little Princess...

She loves going to see Mrs. Marilyn at Canine Design and getting pampered. She sleeps in our bed and i must add for such a little girl she sure takes up alot of room on a king size bed.... haha.

She likes when her Grandparents come to visit, Because Grandpa, Grandma, & Dad have her running around the house. I often wonder who is chasing who.

I just do not know what i ever did without my lil Princess, her Dad calls her my shadow because she is always where ever i am. When she has been a good girl while we are out she loves to get treats. all of her poor "babies" either have one ear or one leg missing.

Just having her here has been so wonderful, more than words could ever say, Cleo is truly a blessing. She brings us happiness. She didn't know what to think about the snow. It was so funny watching her run and play in it. We had more snow than she was tall...hehe
precious, precious, precious.... Is all i can say.

I love you my Little Miss Cleo
