I got my dog a dog. WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW PUPPY IN OUR FAMILY!
Yep, you read that right. Our family has grown by four puppy paws. I am beyond excited to introduce you to the newest member of our family! I’m so hype, but also a tad bit scared…
Am I biting off more than I can chew? I have 3 kids and a furkid already and I’m adding a PUPPY to the mix…have I gone mad? Will Simba even like her? Will she like him? Whew, you can imagine all the thoughts that were originally going through my head, but you’ll be happy to know that I made the right decision.
Meet Zuri. She fits right in! We brought her home on June 9th.
MEET OUR NEW PUPPY ZURI 😍
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Isn’t this video the cutest? I wanted a super cute way to introduce her to the world and I thought this little “hands in” trend was too cute!
Our senior pup, Simba, has a new lil’ pup to keep him company and hopefully make him a little more like himself when he was younger. He’s been moving kind of slow these days which is why I had been thinking about getting another dog for over a year now.
Not only did I think about how empty I would feel whenever Simba passes away, but also how my kids would feel losing their first dog 😭 I’m not ready y’all. The average lifespan of a Mini Schnauzer is 12-14 years. Simba is 12 🥺 Speaking it into existence that Simba has many amazing years left with us!

Why We Chose a Mini Schnauzer
My senior dog Simba is a Mini Schnauzer and once I brought Simba home and saw that he was the best dog ever, I knew I’d get another Schnauzer one day! Mini Schnauzers are known for their friendly and intelligent nature, making them perfect companions for families. One day, I saw a black and silver Mini Schnauzer when I was out and about and I instantly fell in love. So when I saw a photo of Zuri for the first time I hoped that she was going to be the perfect new addition to our family. The vibes had to be right though!
There are so many reasons why I think Mini Schnauzers are absolutely amazing and you can read all about it by clicking HERE. My husband grew up with Schnauzers and introduced me to them. I had never even heard of a Schnauzer and it took me a while to get the spelling of it down pat hehe. A Schnauzer is my kind of dog. They are very cute, very smart, and can be very loud with all that barking, but I love them!
Puppy’s First Day Home
Surprise, surprise! We’ve been keeping a big secret from our kids, and their reactions to meeting our adorable Mini Schnauzer puppy, Zuri, are absolutely priceless.
As you’ll see in our video, the kids were completely in the dark about the surprise. Their faces lit up with excitement and shock as they laid eyes on this tiny furry bundle of joy. It was a heartwarming moment that we’ll cherish forever. You’ll get to see us meet Zuri for the first time and our first day home with her.

MEET MY NEW PUPPY | FIRST DAY WITH NEW PUPPY
Surprise Puppy Reveal! 🐶 Watch as my family and I meet our adorable new Mini Schnauzer puppy, Zuri, for the very first time! The kids had no idea, and their reactions are priceless. Our senior Mini Schnauzer Simba also gets to meet Zuri, and it’s a heartwarming moment you won’t want to miss.
Simba also had a chance to meet Zuri. It was a touching encounter that showcased the gentle nature of both dogs. Simba seemed to accept Zuri right away, and it was clear that they were already forming a special bond. You also won’t believe this…Zuri’s birthday is March 22nd and Simba’s birthday is March 21st. Isn’t that wild? It was a sign it was meant to be right?
From the moment we brought Zuri home, it was love at first sight. When she first met us, she was the most chill little puppy we’ve ever met. In the weeks to come her little feisty and energetic personality comes out. She’s already exploring her new home with a sense of wonder and excitement. We’re so thrilled to have Zuri as part of our family.
Puppy Prep 101
I’ll be honest, it’s been a whirlwind of emotions and puppy-proofing chaos over here! The house is slowly transforming into a maze of chew toys and a safe space for a puppy that likes to chew on absolutely everything.
I’ve been shopping like the crazy dog mom that I am for all things puppy (seriously, how are there so many cute EVERYTHING for her!?). And let’s not even talk about the sleep deprivation…those puppy eyes are powerful, y’all.
But amidst the chaos, there’s also been so much joy. Watching Simba interact with Zuri has been absolutely priceless. And those puppy snuggles? Worth every sleepless night, y’all! Zuri means beautiful by the way. Isn’t she lovely?
Puppy Essentials
As you can see in the video, I bought a few things for Zuri the day I brought her home. Bringing a new puppy home requires some preparation. In a future post I’ll share a list of essential puppy items and go into detial about what I purchased. From a comfy bed to chew toys and grooming supplies, having the right items can make the transition smoother for both you and your puppy.
For now, you can take a look at my dog must-haves in my Amazon storefront which includes items for both Simba and Zuri.
