My mom person came across a couple of my baby pictures & I thought that I’d use them for Easy Like Sunday.
Obviously I was a sleeping expert, even as a pup!
Hope you have an easy Sunday everyone.
Easy Like Sunday Flashback Edition
Everybody Needs A Little Schnauzer In Their Day
Monthly Archives: April 2012
5:00 AM…Really?
My mom person got up at 5 AM and said, “Oskar let’s go blog, what should we write about?”
We should write about how it’s 5 AM and you woke me up.
And we can write about how it’s nice to curl up in a pile of quilts in the middle of a sun puddle…
and go to sleep while your crazy mom person is blogging.
She may be my mom person, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t mad as a hatter!
Goodbye Sweet April
I am very sad today about the passing of dear April from DaWeenies of Florida. Too many of our blog friends have been going to the bridge recently and while I know that’s how life works, it’s hard to digest so many loved ones leaving.
While the stars will shine brighter with Angel April in the heavens, Blogville will be a little dimmer.
You can click here if you’d like to express your condolences and send DaWeenies some love.
My People’s Earth Day Training
For Earth Day, my peeps went to an Adopt-a-Stream event to learn how to volunteer for the Clinton River Watershed Council.
They learned how to collect bugs and data twice a year to help measure the health of a stretch of the river.
Here she goes in her waders into the stream. She wants me to tell you that her butt is not that big, it’s the waders…yeah right!
They had little nets to capture bugs in and had to sample different areas of the river to collect a wide variety.
Here she is digging in.
And she was very proud that she made it back out of the river without falling on her wader-enlarged butt.
I was not invited to the event, but I’m proud of them for doing something good for Earth Day. I celebrated my earth by roaching around in my back yard.
Easy Like Sunday
Chloe & I are just chillin’ & relaxin’ here at the house for our Easy Like Sunday.
But I do get up and check out the yard every once in a while to make sure that there is no breach in security.
I’m still doing my job, mom!
Hope you have an easy Sunday.
Meet Elvis Iams Senior Plus Honorable Mention Winner
My good friends at Iams are celebrating their new Iams Senior Plus diets with a contest.
Here is the story of Elvis, who has earned the “Honorable Mention” title in the contest because he’s a dog that refuses to act his age.
“Elvis is a Vizsla, a breed that needs a lot of exercise. For many years he was my husband’s mountain bike riding companion and now he is my hiking companion. Even though he is now gray in the face, people still remark about how he acts like a puppy – running ahead on the trail, getting excited when meeting new dogs, and spontaneously jumping into a stream to get a stick. He is a true part of our family and a joy to be around.”
And in case you’re interested, each week, the team at Iams will select one dog and one cat 11 years of age or older (9 years of age or older if your dog is a large breed) that refuses to act their age. Just submit a current picture of your cat or dog and tell us how or why they refuse to act their age.
Little Spring Flowers
Today my mom person wanted to post a picture of me sitting in all of the little wildflowers in the back yard.
I sat and let her take a picture of me.
She wasn’t happy with that picture. I wasn’t happy with sitting there.
I left. It’s spring, with things to see & smell & do! I don’t want to sit still with that flashy box in my face!
Here is another picture of the flowers to tide you over.
I hope whatever you do today, it does not involve sitting still on a glorious spring day, unless it’s your idea!
