“My wife really wanted a dog, and had been asking to get one for three years.
She had been showing me photos and videos of Newfie’s, and already had a breeder in mind.
My main holdout was the time commitment to a dog, but I agreed after three years, basically, because she wore me down.
I also realized that there would never be an ideal time, so now was as any.”
“My wife and I were a long way from home and just missed that family vibe in the house.
She did a lot of research.
She grew up with Mini-Schnauzers and felt comfortable with them.
She got her first mini-schnauzer when she was seven and decided that was the dog of choice for us.
We bought him in the Netherlands.”
Since having Leroy,it’s been a rough year.”
“I had always wanted a dog growing up, but my mom didn’t like dogs, because when she was very young a street dog chased and bit her.
This was in Nigeria, where I am from.
When I met my fiancé, who loves animals (dogs and lions in particular), she had a wolf-dog called Balto, who was very old when we started dating.
He was 15 and lived to be 19.
When he passed, my fiancé was distraught.”
