Chia: Yes, sometimes we like each other.
Xena: Be quiet, Chia, and smile at the phone.
Wishing everyone a good Sunday!

Xena and Chia’s Sunday Selfies
Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!
Xena: Chia kept bugging me about wanting to do the Sunday selfie, so I finally said I would do one with her. I’m wearing my hoodie and Chia, well she thinks she’s hot stuff still in her fall scarf. She really needs to get a winter or Christmas scarf. Maybe Mommy will help her with that.
Chia: Mom promised I’d have a Christmas scarf for my next selfie!
We hope everyone has a good week! XOX Xena and Chia
Chia’s Chilly Sunday Selfie
Chia: Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!
The temps here have ranged between the 20’sF and 40’sF. Brrrr
I’m laying on my poor, cold feet. Mom, you got a blanket somewhere? Stay warm, and to our friends where I’ve heard there’s lots of snow now, stay safe! XOXOXOX Chia
Amy’s Sunday Selfie
I’m a bit late with this, but better late than never, right? As some of you already know, Jeff and I love to go ballroom dancing. That’s how we met. Then we started taking lessons together. Then we became dance partners. Then we became friends. We slowly “grew” in love and last month celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. (We had both been married previously.)
In the spring and the fall there is a big supper dance at what used to be called Fairyland Club on top of Lookout Mountain. The view is spectacular, especially at night, when all the lights of Chattanooga – down below the mountain – can be seen. We had a good meal, then the band that Jeff plays in – Sweet Georgia Sound – started to play. But without Jeff. He promised me when we wed that he would take me to these dances and find a sub to play tenor sax for him.
Everyone really dresses up for this dance. I had gotten a new dress (on clearance!) and a couple of friends asked me to get pictures in it to show them. I thought, what the heck, I might as well do the Sunday selfie today, too! So here am I, posing, with Jeff next to me.
You can tell we were cutting up and having a good time!
Many thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies! Hoping everyone has a good week ahead.

Xena’s Sleepy Selfie Sunday
Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies!
Xena: Mommy, it’s my birthday month, so I’m taking the rest of the Sunday selfies for me, OK?
Mommy: Of course, baby girl. you go for it.
Xena: Well, the thing is, I’m really sleepy and you just tucked me in, so, would you please take my picture? Then it’ll be ready for Sunday morning.
Mommy: Of course, Xexe. Try to keep your eyes open for a moment.
Mommy: Uh, maybe we should try again tomorrow morning.
Xena: Zzzzzzzz
Mommy on Sunday morning: So, are you ready to try again, Xe.
Xena: I got it Mommy. You can go back to bed or get ready for work, or whatever. *wags*
Mommy: Xe, where did those flowers come from?
Xena: Uhhhh, would you believe the big gray cat next door?
Guest Cat Selfie Sunday by Xena
Happy Sunday, friends. Today, I, Xena, have been persuaded to let someone in our neighborhood do the selfie today. The cat next door came over and said, “Hey, I hear this is Selfie Sunday, and no one in my house has a blog. A little help, here?” So, cause I like the kids that live there, I said, “OK,” adding, “Just this once.” Uh, he told me his name, but I don’t remember it. I do know a few things about him, though.
- He’s very friendly.
- He comes over a lot to get petted.
- He used to be a farm cat.
- He often shows up when someone brings their dog to be groomed. Then, Mommy has to go outside and hold onto him when they drive away so he doesn’t get run over.
Here’s his picture. Maybe since I did this for him, he won’t hurt me if I get close to him…

Lucy’s Selfie Sunday
Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies.
Just two more days and it’s my 9th birthday. I was laying in bed this morning after breakfast (which was an hour late but I didn’t complain) thinking about being 8.
It was a pretty good year. I got to go to the church a lot. And ate good food. And had my sisters here. But we lost Riley, and he and I were good friends. So that’s a sad thing. But he needed to go, I know. And I know I always seem to be self-confident when I write my blog. Just like I do when I see people other than my family.
But the truth is, I’m still scared of a lot of stuff, like if someone lifts their hand up like they might be going to hit me. No one ever hits me, or even almost hits me. It’s just from my first year before I got my furever Mom and Dad. Now I know I’m safe and loved. In fact, everyone seems to love me, so I should feel better about myself. Hey, maybe that’s why Mom named me “Lucy.” There’s a TV show – or so I’ve been told – called “I love Lucy.” Thanks, Mom. I love you and Dad too, and also Xena and Chia and all my friends in the neighborhood and at work, and all my blogging friends, too. So come visit me anytime you want, and I’ll always make you feel welcome.
Your good friend, Lucy the birthday month girl.
Our Animal Doubles at Knoxville Zoo
Xena: OK, so I finally found a ‘puter to work on.
Mommy sent us pictures of her time at the zoo yesterday She said some of the animals reminded her of us. So instead of selfies, here are our (almost) doubles.
Lucy, Mommy said this first one reminded her and Daddy of you. You aren’t this big or anything, but she says you’re this gentle and sweet. Not only that, but this giraffe has your name!
Chia, yours is easy. None! She didn’t find any animals there that were long like a hot dot and fast like The Flash and and a combination of sweet and sour sauce. So, sorry, you don’t get an animal.
Chia: Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Xena: Well, there were the otters that looked a lot like you, but they were swimming under water all the time, so Mommy couldn’t get a picture.
Riley, Mommy found several animals that reminded her of you.
The lion is the quiet king of the jungle but can roar really loud, and also keeps everyone in his pride in line. You don’t bark much, but when you do, wow. It’s deep and the whole neighborhood can hear it.
The gorilla is smart and can be a clown like you were before I knew you, when you were much younger.
And the bear, well, he does his own thing, takes his time and walks a lot like you.
Wow. Mommy must really think about you a lot. I’ve never really given you much thought other than as the grumpy grandpa who I kinda stay away from except when I bark at you once in a while (when you’re laying down and can’t get up fast to get me!). But I’ve watched you play with Chia like you were a young pup, and I’ve seen you running through the yard and rolling in the grass. Maybe there’s a lot more to you that I realized.
I think this must be the one that Mommy and Daddy picked for me. Fierce and also loving.
Riley: Barharharharhar! So today you’re a comic, Xena. Come on, show everyone the real picture of the one Mom Amy picked.
Xena: Oh…OK. Uh, but what is it?
Riley: It’s a red panda, curled up taking a nap. She said you look that precious when you’re napping like that. *gag*
Xena: Oh, well, maybe it does look a bit like me. *grin*
I hope you enjoyed seeing our doubles at the zoo. And thanks so much to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday Selfies!
Xena’s New Vantage Point on Selfie-less Sunday
Lucy: We were all outside on the porch, enjoying a beautiful day.
I’ve heard both Mom and Dad say, “They only learn the bad things from each other.” Being the youngest, Chia has a habit of getting on things like tables and kitchen counters. Lately, Xena has been immulating her.
Xena: It was easy getting up here. I can tell this is where Daddy eats. I can still smell his food. He’s a messy eater.
I can see everything that’s goin’ on in the woods from up here. No wonder Chia likes to do this.
5 minutes later
How am I going to get down? Mom! Where’s Mommy? I need to do my selfie!
Oh well, it’s not supper time yet. *yawn* Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
Thanks so much to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday Selfies. I guess my selfie this week is of my bee hind, BOL! XOX Xena
Xena’s Sunday Selfie
Mommy, you promised I could do the Sunday Selfie today…did you forget? Yes, I know you’ve been grooming dogs and working out in the yard all day, but this is priority stuff. I can pose lots of different ways and you can take lots of pictures. But we need to get on it, I mean, it’s almost supper time. *drool* almost…supper….time….
No! No! You can’t use that one. You need to comb my hair and wipe the drool off my mouth.
(1 minute later) Now I’m ready. How about like this?
OK, that’s good.Let’s just use that one. Is supper almost ready? Oh, and Happy Sunday everyone!
Thanks so much to The Cat on My Head, for hosting Sunday Selfies!
Lucy’s Challenging Sunday Selfie
Greetings, my friends. If you know me, you know I don’t like to have my picture taken. Even last Sunday, on my birthday, I gave the privilege away to my BFF Ella. This week, when Mom asked, “Who would like to do the Sunday selfie?”I stepped forward. Literally. You can imagine her surprise. She said, “Lucy, are you sure you want to do the Sunday selfie?” I looked at her and wagged my tail, and out came the phone camera.
Of course it was a challenge with Chia on the loose. On the first try, she photo-bombed me.
Mom suggested we try again. This time, Chia ran in and screamed in my ear.
After that disruption, Chia had to go to time out. Besides, I’m only seven years old and I don’t want to go deaf just yet.
Finally, here is my selfie. Mom wants you to know that I really can look happy and even smile, but I just get nervous about this whole picture thing. Xena says practice makes perfect, but I don’t know. I think there are just naturals. I’m a natural at calming people and helping them feel good.
With that done, I cuddled on the couch with my peeps brother, Andrew.
His hands are blurry cause he’s stroking my shiny furs. Oh dog! There’s Chia again. I’m going into zen mode now; see all y’all later.
We want to woof out a big thanks to The Cat on My Head, for hosting Sunday Selfies!
Selfie Sunday at RocktoberFest
Hi friends! Xena here. It’s my turn to do my Sunday Selfie — oh yes, thank you Kitties Blue for hosting it — and I was supposed to do a boring old selfie with a quiz to see how well you know me. But I got to go to the first RocktoberFest of the season at Rock City yesterday, and I want to share that with you instead. It’s lots more fun! I’ll woof Mommy into letting me do my original Selfie Sunday next week, OK?
It’s been two whole years since I was there; they didn’t have the festival cause of COVID. I was only three years old then, and the band scared me when they played. Guess what? I wasn’t scared at all this time!
It was a little chilly on Lookout Mountain so I wore my sweater under my harness most of the morning. I liked listening to the music and to Daddy announce the songs, saying funny things about them. I wanted to run out to him, but Mommy kept me in her lap. Then something smelled really bad.
At first I thought Mommy pooted, then I realized it was her Octoberfest beer. Ick.
We took a walk around the park, and Mommy had to go into the little girl’s room. That was my first time in a place like that. Did you know that they sprinkle crumbs of Tostitos on the floor? Oh my, they’re good!
When we got back to the pavilion, I had a run-in with a chicken. Well, at least with its head.
Then Mommy danced a little bit with me, but I was more interested in checking under the tables for food. Later, while Daddy was announcing one of the songs, he held me and told everyone I am a schnauzer, a German dog who came for the good food and good music.
Too bad I didn’t get much more of the good food, although I got my first little taste of fudge. It was great! Then I was declared the official band dog, so I got my picture taken with the band.
Can you see me there right up front? I could see all the other dogs from there. I bet they wished they were me!
That pretty much covers it. Anyhoo, if I have to post a selfie, I choose the picture with me covering my nose, BOL!
Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess
Selfie Sunday: Xena
It’s my turn to do a Sunday Selfie. My life’s been pretty miserable lately. I have a flea allergy. That means that when even one flea bites me, I go crazy itching and scratching.
Mommy got the yard treatment guys to spray real good. The stuff is supposed to not cause cancer or hurt peeps or pooches, even if we eat the grass — after it all dries. Well, that didn’t work. Even after that and after Mommy washed our bedding and vacuumed and flea bathed us all, I would still have one or two on me every time she checked, morning and night. Then she sprinkled that stuff that cuts them into pieces — I think it’s called diatomaceous earth (Mommy helped me with the spelling) in our dog lot. I still was getting fleas. Then she called the pest service back and a different guy came out. He told Mommy that he was going to use something else that was also safe for all of us. He thought maybe the fleas had grown used to the other stuff, and they needed something new to do the job. He sprayed really good, and Mommy hasn’t found a flea on me since. Well, that way my long way of saying that there have been no new fleas, but I am still suffering from the bites from the other ones that are now dead, and, if Mommy’s words came true as she killed each one, they’re all burning in H.E. double hockey sticks.
Anyhoo, that was a long way of saying that I’ve decided, for my Sunday Selfie, to go to my happy place without fleas or Chia or anything else that irritates me or makes me miserable. Especially fleas.
Join me, and we’ll play and pretend happy things.

Lucy and Xena on Selfie Sunday
Many thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Selfie Sunday!
Xena: This week it’s Lucy’s turn to do a selfie. She hates having her picture taken, so I selflessly volunteered to be in the picture with her, making it an “ussie.”
OK, Lucy, look at Mommy. She’s got two fish oil pills in her hand, and you get one of them if you look at her. You know you want one!
Good girl, Lucy! You did great! I’ll help you every time it’s your turn. Now, for that fish oil…
Have a great Sunday, everyone! XOX Lucy and Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess
Ella’s Sunday Selfie
Many thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday Selfies!
Ella: Auntie Amy surprised me, saying I could have the Sunday Selfie today. This is a picture from when I was tattling on Achilles informing my bestie, Lucy, that something was going on in the bathroom that she needed to check out! Click here if you missed that.
Well, Lucy got so ticked off at him that she wouldn’t even sleep in the same room last night. Achilles slept in the bed with Aunt Amy and Xena (Xena made sure Aunt Amy was between them), and Lucy slept in the living room with me. Achilles can be a real dog.
Anyhow, I hope you like my selfie. *wags* Ella
Chia’s Good Girl Sunday Selfie
We are happy to join The Cat on My Head for Sunday Selfies.
I was told to sit. I sat.
I was told to stay.
I stayed.
I heard a “click” and I got a treat.
I’m a good girl. Chia

Hi friends. This is Lucy, and Mom said I could try my paw at doing a Sunday selfie. *paws crossed* that I do a good one. Oh, wait, I can’t take my selfie with my paws crossed! Anyhoo, here’s my first try.
I guess I was thinking about my paws instead of my face. Let me try again.
How’s this? Hmmm, I look way too serious. One more try.
I got a little bit of Mom and of Xena in this one, but that’s ok. They’re my pack.
Love and wiggles, Lucy
Sunday Selfie by Riley
We’re joining The Cat on My Head for their Sunday Selfie blog hop.
I never get to steal use Lexi’s blog any more since I moved out of the house with my Dad Andrew. I got to thinking about it and asked my friend Lucy (who I knew would say yes, as opposed to Xena who would have woofed not just no, but heck no!)
My Dad brought me over to Lucy’s house to get a good flea bath. The funny part was that he was almost done with my bath before anyone realized we were even here. I don’t really like baths (who does?) but I know they get rid of fleas and make me feel better and less itchy, so I consent to them. I’m 70 pounds of (mostly) muscle, so consent is pretty high up on the list when trying to get me to do stuff. Now if Lucy’s Mom had given me the bath, she would have put me in the big tub where I slip around and can’t fight very much when she cuts my nails. Dad didn’t bother with that this time, and he got a gentle reprimand from Lucy’s (and his) Mom when she saw how long they are. Hey lady, if you don’t like it, just don’t look at them, right? There was even something about “for my own good” thrown in there. She’s a groomer, so she thinks she knows this stuff.
Dad stayed and ate supper with his Mom, then he left to take me home to feed me since there’s no kibble or canned dog food in the house. I love my Dad and he loves me. I’m his heart dog. It’s good to be someone’s heart dog.
XOX Riley (thanks, Lucy)

Leave me alone. I don’t want to do a selfie today.
Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess
Xena’s 1st Sunday Selfie
Hi. Watcha’ doin?
It’s been a fun Sunday. Riley, er, He-Who-No-Longer-Exits came home today and I got to growl and yell at him. After I had my lunch, me and Lucy went out in the dog lot and ran along our side of the fence while HWNLE ran along his side of the fence in the big wide world. I barked and ran and ran and barked. Mommy was just inside the door cooking so she didn’t notice that it had started to rain. It was great! Parts of the dog lot turned to mud and Lucy had fun rolling me around in it. I don’t know why she didn’t roll in it too…
Anyhoo, when Mom called us in, she didn’t know ahead of time about the rain and mud and it was so much fun leaving muddy pawprints through the house. Rosy, who is a month younger than me, did the same thing not too long ago.
I think this is where I’m supposed to say that I’m joining The Cat on My Head for Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. OK, consider it said.
I am Xena the Schnauzer Warrior Princess with my First Selfie Blog Hop.
