Oh, hey, Carey!

The white Schnauzer that rocks pastel

WHO says white is plain and boring? 

Carey, the white Miniature Schnauzer of Renan Barco often basks in pastel colors and is definitely living a colorful life, at least in Instagram.

Carey, named after the famous American singer Mariah Carey, literally pops out against a backdrop of happy colors that Renan picks when editing her photos for social media. It results in clean, eye candy shots where Carey's white fur becomes iridescent.

“We consider her white fur a bit rare compared to the salt-and-pepper color that is common to this breed,” says Renan who pours a lot of effort and attention to maintaining Carey's fur to keep it lustrous and pearly white. 

A user-interface designer, Renan uses the VSCO app when editing Carey's photos on his phone. He switches to Adobe Photoshop for editing Carey's more complicated photos. He started Carey's Instagram account, @ohheycarey, about a year ago with a simple promise, “I'm here to color your day.” And color he did with Carey's help.

So far, @ohheycarey has made only about 50 IG posts that were seen and “double-tapped” by almost 10,000 followers.

Of course, Renan is Carey's biggest fan; admitting that it was love at first sight that prompted him to get this white bundle of joy two years ago.

Aside from good looks, “Carey is smart! She knows how to do basic dog tricks and loves to participate in photo shoots. But what I really like about Carey is her ability to recognize when I’m feeling down. She’s always putting on a show just to cheer me up,” says Renan.

Carey has several travel photos that indicate she and Renan have been around. 

“A trip to the beach would be really nice. Carey is active and loves tagging along,” says the dutiful dad.

He also thinks Carey is ready to have her own puppies. 

“Thing is, I'm not. Strict dad here!,” says Renan.  -- MetroPets
