So last Saturday we built a dog run in my parent's back yard (pictures coming soon!), bought all sorts of puppy-related goodness at Petco & WalMart (crate, leash, harness, etc...), then went and picked up our PUPPY!!
He seemed a bit sleepy on the drive home (from El Cajon), so I let him sleep in my lap. When we got home, he seemed a bit disoriented...so he took another nap, then slept through the night. The next day he perked up a little, and made it about three hours wide awake before succombing to an hour-long siesta. Aaaand he falls asleep nightly around eight. Wakes up around 3 AM to go to the bathroom, then sleeps until 7AM.
WHO IS THIS DOG?!
I thought puppies were supposed to be constantly hyper and crazy?? Don't get me wrong, he does his fair share of funny puppy things (like chasing his reflection in the mirror, jumping and barking at his toys, using his very sharp baby teeth to chew your socks - with your feet still inside of them, etc...) - but he mostly loves to cuddle and sleep. Turns out schnauzers sleep on average 13 hours a day! Haha - I have the BEST puppy EVER!
So all the names we were considering got chucked out the window when we realized what a sleepy little guy we had, in favor of the name 'Tucker' - in honor of how 'tuckered out' he always is :)
Here are some pictures! Enjoy!

This was taken shortly before (and after) a nap.I took him to the vet to make sure all is well, and the vet told me he's healthy!
Welcome home, Tucker :)

Congratulations on your first "child". He'll prepare you for kids more than you know:) Sounds like a good sleeper though:P
Tucker is a pretty cute pup and he has the perfect name!
Aw! Tucker was my dog's name. He is such a darling :)
HaHa! I remember when we first brought Moose home she was ALWAYS sleeping. She would play really hard for about 20-30 minutes then be knocked out for a couple hours and then repeat the cycle. Puppies are just like human babies, they're growing so fast that they need lots of sleep:)
