Hi Eliza, Thank you for your warm welcome too! Wow, you're a mind reader! Yes, I've got Duchess primarily for Karlie's sake. Both my wife and I are working and we're away for the better part of the day. So, Karlie was normally left all alone at home. Everyday, when we dressed up for work, he would look extremely dejected and go hide in a corner. Sometimes, as we wait for the lift, we could hear him howl in anguish for us. It broke our heart ... so, Duchess was the result ... Happily, things are different now. The two are the best of friends and they kept each other company. Karlie loves Duchess and gives in to her all the time and that little rascal takes advantage of it by snatching food, toys, and everything else from him! LOL, it looks so funny. Eliza, before taking on another dog, do think through the implications carefully. Dogs have feelings and they, particularly puppies, go through not only a physical but also a mental/emotional development phase as they grow, which means their end result as individuals is shaped by what took place in their early puppyhood. It's therefore, more than just "managing" two schnauzers. I wish you the best as you ponder over the issue. If there's anyway I could help, please let me know. Oh, btw, I spent around 3 1/2 years in Penang before my marriage. I was living at Batu Ferringhi then. It was a beautiful spot .... hummmmm, reminds me of Penang laksa ... yummy!!
