Meet Tokki my Mini Schnauzer

 

Hello Friends,

When I uploaded the post of a life update years ago all you’ve heard was that we had to say Goodbye to our 14 year old Mini Schnauzer DiNozzo and that we got a new Puppy. However, I have never introduced him.

Meet Tokki 😊

Tokki’s full name is Dal Tokki (달 토끼) meaning Moon Rabbit in Korean. Why a Korean name you wonder?! Well, we got both Neela and DiNozzo when we lived in Korea and Tokki was the first one that was not from Korea so I only thought it was fitting to give him a Korean name. I always loved Moon Rabbits so when going through name ideas this one stuck and simply felt right. He truly is a little rabbit, he likes to jump and is able to jump really high.

What is Tokki like? Tokki is one of the cuddliest little puppies you can imagine. He never leaves my side and when he does I need to check on him because that is when he becomes mischievous. He is a barker but what Schnauzer isn’t?! He will mellow out in a few years just like my others did. He has already calmed down a lot from the beginning to now. Tokki loves his toys, his favorites are a little puppy that can bark and a teddy named Charlie, when we have to travel, we bring them along since they are his comfort items.

Tokki is peculiar when it comes to eating, in the morning when he gets his kibble someone always has to sit with him otherwise he doesn’t eat, no idea why or how that happened but here we are. His wet food he eats just fine, it is just his Kibble he needs some help with. On one hand, I believe it stems from the fact that he had retained some of his baby teeth and needed surgery to remove them it impacted his eating habits before they were removed. On the other hand, he is just an anxious pup who likes to be close to his humans. 

Tokki brings us a lot of joy but is also a handful little Mr. Toad finding, squirrel and lizard hunting little Acorn and Mushroom eater. Don't worry I don't let him eat any of those, one of the reasons he has to be on a leash even in the backyard. 

So yeah, that is Tokki. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.
