Carolyn i have a little Schnauzer little miniature Schnauzer oh what do you have well it's kind of a mixed breed that we got from the Humane Society uh you know those make the best animals uh pets best pets my uh son has a uh oh it's a real mixture it's part uh Doberman and part Husky yes and they gentlest dog you ever met and they got him from the uh Humane Society here in Oklahoma City oh my oh and she's just turned out to be a jewel my my little Schnauzer is is my friend she is so spoiled she's a year and a half old now and being single she's become very important in my life uh-huh it's so nice to have come home and find something or someone who's really so happy to see you well my children are the ones that wanted our pet and this one is probably the best one that we have had um as i say we got it from the Humane Society and uh we had lost a pet and we really went there looking for the one that we had lost it got out under the fence while we were on vacation and we just looked all over for it and couldn't find it but uh when we walked in to the to the Humane Society this little dog was uh in the office and would sit up and beg and just oh he was so cute and the kids just fell in love with it we just couldn't leave without it but it's um whoever had it before must have trained it real well because it's just you know it's uh a good house dog i've never had one that i could keep in the house before and tolerate it sometimes i wish i had not gotten this one as a puppy because i work and i'm not home uh-huh and unfortunately she's not as well trained as as i would like her to be um-hum and i realize it's my fault i'm not doing a really great job as a disciplinarian but uh it's hard to do that when you're not there constantly it is it is she's you know she's real good i can leave her all day in the bathroom with her toys and her food and everything and and not one mess does she make and then we go outside hm oh and she'll stay outside for oh thirty minutes to an hour come inside and use the restroom hm i just want to kill her at those times oh but she's a doll she's a love she really is about the only time we have well i shouldn't say the only time but most of the time when we have problems with restroom is in the night and uh she usually stays inside at night we try to take her out right before we go to sleep but uh sometimes it doesn't work you know i i we always had a pet when i was growing up oh always had a dog my mother did not like cats so we always had a dog and and then course when my children were growing up we always had a dog and always said it's because the children wanted the pet um-hum and i find that i'm enjoying this one far more than i ever did when it was the children's dog oh i uh in fact my children gave me this this little puppy for Christmas what a cute idea yeah i think so well we got one one year for Christmas and uh i had a baby the next day oh my goodness and uh so that one wasn't really well trained two babies huh oh oh i just didn't have time to take care of baby and train puppy at the same time so that that is really probably bad timing yeah i think it was it really was The older kids had wanted one though and you know we thought well that would be a fun time for them to have it you know get it at Christmas time it was a little Spitz with a little white oh yes fluffy and you know looked like it came right from the North Pole and that was fun but um i I sure wasn't good at training it uh-huh do you i think you have to have time you know to to do those things and patience and you have to you really have to be just like your children when you set a rule you have to stand by it and be consistent that's right and
