Captain Jack Sparrow-sort of!

Meet the newest member of the Miller clan-our little Shnorkie (half mini-schnauzer, half yorkie)! While I swore I would never own another inside animal, dog or otherwise, after the death of our beloved Molly, it looks like I will now have to eat my words once again. Nothing new!
Eric found this little cutie on KSL the other night and so we went for a little drive to "just look". Yeah right, like that was going to happen when you have the kids in tow. Mikaela about had a stroke as soon as she saw him (she absolutely LOVES dogs), and Haylie was equally as giddy. Eric and I thought he was pretty darn cute and very playful. I still wasn't completely conviced I was ready to turn my new home over to the likes of a puppy, but the owner had already started the potty training and kennel training process (two very important things in my book) so that made it a little easier for me to say yes. I am proud to report that the first night went very well, he made it all the way through the night and then let us know when it was time to put him out. I'm sure both our families will be "thrilled" with our new addition. Oh well, the girls are in doggy heaven and I think my husband is right there with them. He tries to hide it well, but I think he secretly wanted the puppy as much as the girls-he's such a pushover! Let's hope this will teach Haylie and Mikaela a little about responsibility since he'll be in their charge now, thus the name Captain Jack Sparrow (Haylie thought up that one).

Hmm...we'd better pray for the puppy.

First of all, is his name really Captain Jack? Second, is he a wondermut? Third, why didn't you name him wondermut? He's cute and I can't wait to meet him. Just make sure his swashbuckling is under control. :)

Uh...I forgot to read the first part about him being a half and half. I'm in grad school! I should know how to read.

Oh, yeah! His name is really Captain Jack Sparrow (Jack, for short). Sick huh?
