I went to work with Mommy today. It’s some stupid holiday, so Thomas the Mailman didn’t come, so I didn’t get a mailman treat. And Mr. Ted didn’t come in, so I didn’t get to sit in his lap and get pet real gently and get a treat.
Then I had to work really hard to be super nice to the few people who did come to try to get the “I did the right thing” treat. I finally retired to my doggie bed that’s under Mommy’s desk. Pretty soon I started drifting off…
…and even in my dreams the treats just marched around me, out of reach. *sigh*
Monday was such a pretty day that I finally didn’t have to wear a sweater or my hoodie when I went outside. I went to work with Mommy and got my exercise following her everywhere. And I was nice to the few people who came in, too. I got some of Mommy’s hot dog at lunch along with some of my apple and pumpkin treats!
I usually ride in the backseat of our electric car. When Mommy first got the car, she called our other car “Car A” and this one “Car B.” It quickly became like a living thing with a name: Carbee. Daddy bought Carbee a big cover for the back seat. It hooks onto the back and front headrests and also hooks over the back windows. (I also know how to get into the front seat if I want to, but I don’t usually want to.)
Anyhoo, Mommy took my picture in the back seat. She knows I love to have my picture taken.
I hope you are having a good week and wish you a happy Tuesday.

Xena: This is not me, just in case you were wondering. We’ve shown you a lot of schnauzers lately, so I want to be sure you’re not confused about that.
What have I been up to lately, you are probably wondering. Well, there’s always something, right?
My Daddy’s gone to somewhere else (not here) in Tennessee to pig sit Morty so that my Auntie Jen and Uncle Bill can take a few days of vacation. Lucy’s BFF Ella and boyfriend Achilles had to go to a boarding place so no pig/dog fights happened.. From there Daddy’s going on up to Fort Wayne to visit his almost 93 year old Mommy and also his sisters and cousins. The rest of us stayed here. That meant I had to find some things to do to keep busy, right?
The weather was pretty so I spent some time outside critter hunting. I can smell something down there, and I’m gonna find it!
I ran down the hill between our house and our neighbor man’s house, following a scent trail. Did you know that us schnauzers are hunters and scent dogs? OK, so technically, we’re ratters, but you gotta hunt to find the rat, right? I found the critter’s hole and then another one down by the road. But Mommy made me come back up the driveway. I had gotten my schnout (that’s a schnauzer snout) as far as I could in the hole, and that critter was lucky I didn’t have time to dig it out! I can spend hours doing this kind of thing – unless it’s near supper time, of course.
Thursday I finally got to go to work again with Mommy! I did real good. A ladies group was there, and they loved me. I remembered I’m not supposed to jump up on people so, instead, I stood on my hind legs in front of them and waved at them with both my front paws. They loved it! I got lots of petting and oohs and ahhs. (And I got treats for it, too!) Some even said that now they wanted to get a little dog, too. See, I’m an inspiration!
I got pretty worn out, but I only got a few zzzz’s in before I had to go greet more people. Jen Jen bear was there to help me. A few people did ask where Lucy was, but I’m sure they’ll forget about her soon enough.
Finally, I decided to rearrange the furniture.
I dragged my nice red doggie bed out of the bedroom into the living room, and placed it near Riley’s bed. That’s right in front of the front door. Together we can guard the house against intruders. Later, Mommy put it back in the bedroom and told me to come on in and sleep with her, so I did. I usually do what Mommy says.
Just a couple more days before I see my Daddy again. It sure does feel like a long time since he was home. In the meantime, I’ll be thinking of what else I can do with Daddy gone.
