I'm 4 years old!
Several years after losing our 2 beloved cats, Katie & Gordon, we were ready to welcome a new furry family member into our lives. Little Man is allergic to cats so we needed to find a dog that would be a good fit with our family. I did one of those online tests that show what breed would be best for your family based on your lifestyle, personalities, etc. Our results showed that a terrier WAS NOT one of them. This test did not take mixed breeds into account. :/
A few years ago, when we lived in Tulsa, OK, I went to a A.R.F. of Tulsa (Animal Rescue Foundation) adoption event with the intent of doing my paperwork so I could volunteer. I was not going to look at the dogs up for adoption that day. But there he was. I saw one of the girls holding him and it was love at first sight. And yes, he is a schnauzer mix. Yes, a terrier.

Henry's Mom and Dad had been picked up as strays but when they realized the female was pregnant, the shelter called ARF to see if they could help. ARF took them out of the shelter and kept them at a foster home until she had the litter and they were weaned and ready for adoption. Mom and Dad were adopted first and they knew the puppies soon would be too.

Once the pups were ready, ARF took pictures and had them listed online and at the PetSmart / ARF of Tulsa adoption event.

I think there were 2 more pups but they were adopted before I could get pictures of them. Henry was the only boy and the only black pup in the litter. He's special! :)
Little Man went with me to meet Henry and loved him! 3 days later we took him home.

Whatsup!

Loves car rides
Wrestling with LM
We entered a doggie contest.
He really didn't win anything since he wouldn't do his tricks (stage fright) so they gave him
a certificate that read, "Blackest Dog". :D
Henry did not find dog clothes amusing.
Go Sooners!
Getting bigger and still wanting to sit on laps
Love to feel the wind in my fur!

Henry is at the groomers for "spa day" and then lots of love and a car ride to the store for a new toy.
Happy Birthday Henry!
