Come summertime, we put our winter clothes away and wear lighter cooler clothing, wear strappy sandals, treat ourselves to delicious, cool drinks and when we get too warm, we truly appreciate our air conditioning, and maybe take a swim in the pool from time to time.
These are the things that make the summer months fun and enjoyable.
Keep in mind that our animals can’t remove their winter attire, other than enjoying a somewhat cooler summer haircut by a good groomer, and they sometimes suffer in the hot weather.

I could not even imagine, nor do I even want to entertain the idea, of having a Lost Dog.
What pain and sorrow a person would feel. They would be unbelievably worried and heart-broken, to say the least.
You would rack your brain as to if you left the latch on the gate open, or if the wind blew it, or if they discovered another way to get out of the yard.
You would wonder if they would be able to find their way home…
You would wonder if whoever finds them would call it in and take care of [ ... ]

Many people would not be as worried as I am about the puppies in our miniature schnauzer litter going outside now that it’s late winter and thawing slightly.
I just can’t help it…I am a grandma that wants to make sure everyone is taken care of, is healthy, and is loved.
I’ve been expressing my concern that the pooches will get too cold outside. Plus, how cute would it be to get them all dulled up in matching dog clothes and accessories?
Don’t you think that would be absolutely adorable? I do!
They are just so darn cute outside running [ ... ]

Our puppies need their bodies cleaned and their bedding washed at least twice a day.
It isn’t really healthy to fully bathe puppies too stringently or too often. However, puppies need all of their parts kept clean and free of urine and excrement.
Harsh soaps and shampoos are definitely not acceptable as they remove the natural oils from their coats leaving them with dry skin or other skin problems. Also, anything too “perfumey” can cause drying of their skin and coats.
A mild puppy shampoo is advisable, followed by a mild conditioner. A nice oatmeal conditioner would be good.
To this end, [ ... ]

Hurray! Even though it is cold and snowy, we have taken the 7 puppies outside with our big dogs, for the first time, this morning.
We are hoping they will catch on to the idea of going pee, etc. outside. On this first outdoors bathroom time, we had some successes, which is very encouraging.
On this evening’s venture, we had further welcomed successes.
The puppies all seemed to enjoy sliding, sniffing, chasing and playing in the snow with each other and the big dogs. They even succeeded in braving the stairs up to the top level of the patio from the [ ... ]

Our babies (born Dec. 8th & 9th) have now been semi-weaned.
They still enjoy a little sip now and then, and mommy needs to reduce nursing them slowly. They are very interested in the puppy kibbles and readily welcome a drink of water for a chaser!
The puppies’ wrestling skills have developed to a fascinating level and provide continuous family entertainment for the big dogs and humans alike. It is so exciting to observe their daily progress!
We have introduced a

My daughter’s two miniature schnauzers, Kaptain (daddy) & Kurious (mommy), mated back in September, accidentally.
We wanted to wait until the next heat for her to have puppies, but hey, “C’est la vie”!
Kaptain is a super rare blonde colour, and Kurious is an AKC recognized colour of salt & pepper. They are both purebred miniature schnauzers.
Kurious gave birth to seven, count them…7, beautiful purebred miniature schnauzer puppies on December 8th & 9th…5 were born the night of the 8th and 2 more in the wee hours of the morning. She had 6 boys and 1 girl.

This is a part of our crew – There’s Kurious on the left with Precious trying to chew on her beard, and Kaptain (our only male) on the right hand side.
Together, with my daughter’s dogs, we have 5 – four miniature schnauzers, and 1 Westiepoo mix. I have both the oldest and the youngest and my daughter and her husband have the 3 middle children! LOL…I am, more often than not, together with my daughter and son-in-law.
What a riot and a great time, but before you adopt more than one dog, there are some things to bear in mind and [ ... ]

What a beautiful day in Niagara!
It’s 27 degrees C in my back yard.
The doggies are loving it too…Running around, chasing each other and smelling the air!
I made some homemade lemonade this morning and I’m enjoying it on the patio.
As for gardening, I’m going to pick up a few branches and pretend I’m working…lol

* This post is continued from My Precious Princess – The Miniature Schnauzer: Part #1 & Part #2.
During the balance of my cancer treatments, Precious was constantly in my arms or on my lap…
I even took her to my oncology appointments and she would sleep under my sheet with her “bony” during my Herceptin treatments.
People didn’t even realize I had a dog with me…She was so good and quiet!
As my feet and ankles are arthritic and walking is [ ... ]
