Miniature Schnauzer Lily Bell

Lily Bell (Lily for short) became a part of our family three months ago now. When I went to the breeder to find my new Mini Schnauzer, this beauty came straight to me and just loved being in my arms. I did, however, put her down later to pet her sister but this made that beautiful puppy who came straight to me very sad. I knew right then that I could not leave with any other puppy.

Lily is a 5-month-old female. She loves playing fetch and getting to run. One of her favorite games is when I sit on the floor and drag a toy rat in a circle around and around me. She loves chasing and catching the rat. Amazingly enough, she doesn't get dizzy! If I'm in the floor and ignoring her, she will bring that toy rat up to me and start walking in circles around me to tell me she wants to chase her toy. Lily also loves her little ducky squeak toy. She likes to squeak it while she is walking, sitting, running, and lying down. She doesn't hardly go anywhere without it. It's the funniest thing to hear and watch her squeaking that toy, especially for thirty minutes straight!

Lily has so much personality. She's up for anything as long as she can be with somebody, she doesn't like being left alone. She loves to entertain us and learn new tricks. But the best and easiest trick for her to learn so far is that she will ring a special doorbell to let us know when she needs to go outside. She learned to do that in one day! She is the smartest and most adorable dog I have ever seen.
