So we've discussed Peter's fondness/ability to be suckered in by a wet nose and wagging tail before… Matter of fact, we've discussed it twice. And as sweet and endearing as the man's love for furry little creatures is, it is no where near strong enough to compete with determination of a woman who has no desire to cater to another creature of any sort that expects her to share her lap or clean-up shit.
That said, I'd like to officially introduce you to Lord Dashwood.
We call him "Dash".
Dash is a full-blooded schnauzer that some douche-bagged, dill-holed, bastard dick head locked up in a house and abandoned for goodness knows how long. He was rescued by our local Humane Society last week and shortly thereafter became the latest member of the Shakespeare household.
He's pretty laid-back with the kiddos, learned how to fetch and sit in record time, and even is "almost" accident-free (thank God for tile).
And despite or perhaps because of his tendency to pass gas strong enough to peel the paint off of my living room walls, he feels like a good fit…
Which means that we are actually keeping this one and not stressing ourselves (myself) over finding it a better (meaning anywhere but here) home.
Imagine that.
But now that 'cold-hearted' is officially scratched-out on the resume, I'm going to have to find something that'll compliment 'Bitch' in its stead…
Suggestions welcomed.

No experience with dogs here, but he is so darling, I wish the best of luck! ;)
Former owner sounds like a complete ass-wipe. Dash is so lucky to have found YOU!

This will sound crazy, but adding some plain yogurt to his diet might help clean up the stink bombs.
Congratulations on the new cutie!

"Ironic Bitch" might work until you secretly erase all evidence of not wanting a dog :)

That's awesome - and congratulations on changing your mind in this instance. He'll be so loved and pampered that, hopefully, his rough patch will help him become so very loving.

I just adore schnauzers!! We talked about getting one instead of a second Corgi. You'll love him I just know it!!
I guess I now know why it's been so hard to get ahold of you for the last week…..LOL

I got nothin!
Your new addition is a cutie- Luckily he wasn't traumatized enough to not be social. So many from abusive homes are.. It makes me sad.

Oh he is adorable! I don't have any experience with Schnauzers, but sounds like he's a great fit ;) Love that you've rescued him. We rescued our pup as well, but he's a maniac! I suppose he fits in well in our home then…

A fellow slacker mom! What an adorable puppy. Love the photo. It should be on a calendar. Even with bad gas he could be famous with a face like that.
