About Me/Them: (Please ask your Pet Kid(s) what they want you to say about them.)

Pepper is a small guard dog who isn't fond of strangers. He takes a long time to warm up to someone and will bark at their arrival even if he has known the person for a long time. Once he warms up to someone though, he is a real sweetheart with funny little quirks and antics. He vocalizes a lot, likes to tear up paper and is a very active/healthy 7 year old. He thinks he's much bigger than he is and even tried to take on a two trailered 18 wheeler!! He is scared of his butt, especially farts. He always sleeps on his back and my mum is his favorite person because she is always with him. He follows her everywhere. He tends to favor me when I come home for the summer though, as he did when he was a puppy. I cut Pepper's hair and bathe him for the past couple of years because mum can't. He doesn't like that so much and hides when he sees me getting the equipment out.

Kitty huffs and puffs at every little move. She can't see very well because she's albino... She and mum have a special bond and she seems to like my boyfriend more and more.

Was the arrival of your Pet Kid(s) planned or is there a story?

Pepper was a gift from my grandparents who bred many dogs in a kennel. They only had one pair of Miniature Schnauzers: Hannah and Chipper. They passed a few years after we got Pepper. We used to have a Miniature Schnauzer of pure champion show blood on both sides, Sir William (Willy for short). He lived to be 14 and mum loved him to pieces. She was only able to get Willy by begging and begging, and on the terms that she would show him in the ring. She never got to though she really wanted, and she never got puppies from him thanks to my awful father. Willy was everything to mum and he was put to sleep from severely metastasized toe cancer when I was about 5. I remember him sleeping beside me when I was in my tent, guarding me. Whenever mum and I visited my grandparents, we would look at the puppies and I really wanted a Schnauzer puppy. Finally mum decided it was time and she was ready. She named Pepper before he arrived and it fit him perfectly. Granny brought Pepper to us on a visit and he instantly bonded with me, and later when I went to boarding school, to mum. He's the best present I think we've ever had.

The story of Kitty's arrival is in my blog.
