The Dogster experiment

Holiday times!

Hi all. Sorry it has been a while since I last wrote. There have been lots of social events lately, so I have not been around home as much. I have gone on mountain trips over the summer and lots of long walks in the fall. Now it is a bit chilly out, and I am spending more time indoors. The treats and the games of indoor fetch really help pass the time though. I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season. I also wanted to thank the members of the Schnauzers Rule group. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming since the moment I joined. Thanks so much; your kindness is really appreciated!!!! I really enjoy getting to know all the other pups out there in the world.

Stuffed squirrels are the best!

So Shakes just wanted to give a shout out for the people at plush puppies. They make very cool toys that make pups think. Shakes' favorite is a mini tree stump with stuffed squirrels. Sadly, the three stuffed squirrels were much loved (read: quickly destroyed from so much chewing, tossing, hiding, etc...), but GUESS WHAT??? Replacement squirrels come in packs of 3! Shakes is taking turns chewing a bully stick and lovingly chomping on his fresh new stuffed squirrel to celebrate!

Love the mountains!!!

So Shakespeare wanted to write quickly to tell everyone how much he loves the mountains; the freedom, the new and exciting smells, the other animals (chipmunkes are so fascinating), and all the sounds. Shakespeare spent time in Breckenridge with his pals Frankie and Oscar. He loved it. The only down point was when people decided he should swim in the stream...apparently a stream is just a giant bath to Shakes :-(
