Man, I love the fall!

Do you like my new layout for autumn? October is my favorite month for lots of reasons. I think I will make a list:

1) Thanksgiving (for us Canadians). Thanksgiving means Turkey!

2) Mommy's birthday! Comes right before Thanksgiving, which means cake before turkey!

3) Autumn leaves. All those pretty colours, plus the leaves get dry and crunchy and I love to crunch them in my mouth. I am showing Izzy how to play in them.

4) Cooler nights, so mommy doesn't have to turn on the fan.

5) Pumpkin pie! Okay, mommy doesn't let me have pumpkin pie, but it sure smells good!

Check out my new pics on my page. Mommy took us to the park, and you can see how big Izzy is getting when she stands next to me!

love and kisses,
Rudy

A candle for our friend

We lit a candle for our friend Miracle, who passed to Rainbow Bridge three weeks ago today. If you want to see it, you can go here:
Miracle's Candle. Miracle was a really sweet schnauzer who even got her picture on the big tv screen in Times Square!

love and kisses,
Rudy

Going on vacation

hi everyone! We are finally going on vacation in our new trailer! We are leaving tomorrow and going for 1 whole week to Terra Nova Park. I can't wait. I hope I can get to go on nature walks and smell lots of stuff like last time.

I will miss all my friends in Sam's Stinky Dog Cafe and Schnauzers Rule. You guys be good and I will talk to you all when I get back. Love you all!

Rudy

Admin!

I forgot to announce that me and Izz (mostly me, cause she's too young) are new administrators at Sam's Stinky Dog Cafe! It is really fun, and we are getting to meet lots more new pups. Since Sam,Lucy,Roxy,Frank and Gunner have gone on hiatus, we really needed someone to run the place. So we stepped up to the plate. So far we have been trying to get the place more organized (putting birthdays on the group page, announcements of Pup of the Week, and stuff like that) but we are also looking for new games to play. If any pup has any suggestion for a group game, I would love to hear it. It seems that dogster pups each have their own favorite group, and I want to make sure that Sam's is a favorite group! To get some extra help, we also enlisted the help of Frodo, he's made some really great pics for the place!

Mommy says to write here that we've accidentally run out of zealies! I told her that it was uncouth, but she says it isn't, because dogsters are really nice and share a lot. Sheesh. She has no shame!

love Rudy

I'm going to have a *bigger* sister

She may be young, but she's gonna be a bruiser. Izzy went for her final parvo and distemper vaccines yesterday and she is a whopping 11 lbs.! She is not quite 4 months yet, so humph, she will be bigger than me! I am 17 lbs. and mommy says that Izzy is only a bit shorter than me. I swear the child grows millimeters each night! What are they feeding her anyway? What's that? Grain-free puppy food called "Now"?! Get rid of it, I say! It's working too good! I wanted a little sister not a big one!

Humph!

My name is Rudy, and I am a barker

I am a barker extraordinaire and I bark for good reason! I am a schnauzer for goodness sake! I bark for all good reasons including but not limited to suspicious people walking up the street, any wheels (bike, skateboard, wheelies, rollerblades), runners, mailmen, flyer delivery boys, suspect vehicles, loud noises, neighbours, other dogs, cats, mice, squirrels...

So, why am I worried? The word from the dogpark is that there is this super bad supersonic squealy thing that only dogs can hear arriving at my good pals Lexie and Buddy's house. (whispers) What if Mommy gets one for MY house? I enjoy barking! I'm good at it! And Mommy stopped trying to get me to stop! The pennies in the can didn't work, the spray bottle only worked a while, and now with Izzy in the mix, if she joins in we can make a real noise!!!

Lexie and Buddy, we are going to help. I don't know who we're gonna call, Congress? Parliament? The Queen? Ghostbusters? But we will call someone! Something must be done!

Dear readers, let me know if you have one of these things in your house. Have you managed to destroy the thing? I hope so! Meanwhile, if it arrives at your house, there's a plan. Put on the guilt - and bad. Dive under the couch when it turns on and cry. Shake if you can. Come out only for good treats and then retreat again. Maybe your parentals will feel so bad they'll throw it out???!!!

Sisters in solidarity.
Rudy and Izzy
