The Karl Family: September 2009

For those of you that don't know, I had to have my precious baby Duchess put to sleep about one month ago now. It was probably the hardest thing that I have ever had to go through. She was such a joy and I loved her with all my heart. She had liver failure and there was nothing else that I could do for her. I miss her every single day and I always will. I know that there will never be another puppy like her or that can ever replace her. She will always hold a special place in my heart. She definitely was a Momma's Girl :)

I knew that I eventually would want to get another puppy but I never thought it would be so soon. Once Duchess was gone, I just felt like a huge part of me was missing and I needed another puppy to love and spoil. I decided to get a Toy Schnauzer and I named her Herley Lynn! My future sister-in-law has a Toy Schnauzer, Presley, and I have always thought that she was such a CUTE and SWEET dog! Little Herley is already such a mess just like her "cousin"! She growls and barks all the time but it is the sweetest little sound. She already has about 50 toys that are spread all over the apartment. She is teething and loves to BITE!!! She thinks she is ruler of everything!!! Definitely spoiled after only one week of having her...gotta love her though because she is PRECIOUS! Just look at that lil' face :)
