It’s been another big week at work for me. Let’s see… I made a new friend. Her name is Linda, and I liked sitting in her lap.
This is me and my friend Linda.
I explored Mommy’s my office more.
Hey! What’s this litter on my shelf? Who’s supposed to be cleaning around here?
I took my morning naps.
I enjoyed time outside in the sunshine while resuming my work of pulling grass weeds.
I took an afternoon nap on Mommy’s lap while she tried to worked.
Yep, what an exhausting week! Good thing my work week ends on Thursday. TGIT!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I am Xena, the Exhausted Schnauzer Warrior Princess.
This lady didn’t tell me her name, but I think she was in charge of the Polka Band. She wanted to take me home with her, but Mommy said, “No.” Sometimes it is good when Mommy says, “No.”
It is called a carrot sir and it sure does make me look silly!
Another big day at Rocktoberfest is behind us. Lots of little people pet me, and so did lots of big people. Mommy got to practice saying, “What’s in your mouth?” and “Xena, stop it.” and “Give that to me.” (You will notice there are no sunglasses on her head anymore, either.) I got lose from the chair and joined my folks on the dance floor. And I heard a lot of people say, “Look, a schnauzer!” Yep, that’s me…
Oh, I almost forgot – at least I have tried hard to forget – I went somewhere new called The Vet after work. I was violated. OMD! How can someone do that to the back end of a puppy? Mommy said the people in the next county could hear me scream. I couldn’t tell you much after that, other than the Vet Lady said I was healthy and Mommy said, “No,” to needly things they wanted to stick in me. I think she must have gotten mixed up and taken me to the Halloween Chamber of Horrors I heard someone talking about. Mommy and the Vet Lady also had a disagreement about my food, but nobody yelled or called each other bad names. I know Mommy won, ’cause I am still eating my chickie chick and dear deer.
Mommy and I were sitting up close to all these things called instruments when suddenly, all at once, some people started blowing in them and hitting them and making a terribly loud racket. It scared me a whole lot, and I shook so hard I almost lost all my puppy teeth! Mommy carried me ways away from all that loud noise until I stopped shaking. A lot of people asked to pet me while Mommy carried me around the park. I got so distracted that I didn’t even notice that we were back in the place called a pa villa yawn where all the music was playing.
It’ taking so long ’cause this stupid tape keeps sticking to my tongue.
By request, here are Xena’s stats with a “comparative” picture.
ver going to let me groom dogs. A couple of weeks ago she got a 15 year old miniature poodle dog named Muffy in to groom. Do you think Mom let me help? Right. Mom forgot to get a “before” picture, but she remembers thinking that under all that hair there has to be a poodle. It took her two hours to find the poodle, though. Muffy is also a screamer. Speaking of screaming, I can hardly wait for Mom to let me tell you what Riley did at the vet. (he, he)
Do you see this, Aunt Amy? I have to go through all these moving boxes to get to my water. And I drink a lot of water. My Mama says it’s cause of my sugar being off. That’s the truth! I haven’t had any sugar on me since the great powdered sugar caper years ago. Never mind that, now I need to go out again.
Whoa! I stood up too fast. Hey! Do you see these butterflies that just appeared all around me, Aunt Amy?
Where’d they go? I think it’s getting ready to rain. Maybe we should go back inside. I wonder if the butterflies went in the house.
Wait, you don’t really have to leave today, do you? I am going to lay on you until it is time to go. I will miss you. Come back soon.
It’s OK, Aunt Amy. You’re here now. Just hold me.
Yes or 
Yes (or _ Maybe, but probably YES)
