My Penguin. :)

Hi there. Fun community. :D

Here are some pictures of my two year old Schnoodle (mini schnauzer / mini poodle mix).

She's good at stealing stuff from us... :P



Do you guys go to the Norwood Estates dog park? The fenced one off I-35 and Riverside? We've taken her a few times, but she started getting into little fights with the bigger dogs (I think she's insecure!) so we haven't taken in her in a while. Do any of you have smaller dogs with this problem?

What a sweetheart! When I was growing up I had a dachshund that would tip cups over to drink from them. The problem was he always went after the ones filled with Rum and Coke. :)

How cute!! Sounds like she's got a schnauzer attitude. :P

Have you had a schnauzer before? :} I haven't, but they're super cute and I love their whiskers and beards.

I had one for a short time when I was younger, but I work with a lot of dogs and most schnauzers are feisty around bigger dogs, lol. But they are pretty cute, eyebrows especially!

You work with dogs? :D That's so fun! I didn't know schnauzers didn't get along with bigger dogs! That explains so much...

Do you know anyone who's giving away/selling their schnauzer? I'd like to get one as a playmate for Penguin. :]

I don't know of anyone in particular, but if I hear of anything anytime soon I'll let you know. :)

Here's the link i posted the other day

Oh yeah. I remember your stylish icon. :P And I love how your cats are all staring at the camera like "what are you staring at? goooosh".

So many doggy monsters! Do they all get along? I want to get another for Penguin to play with during the day, but I'm nervous that she may not get along with another one. She's weird... she tends to get along with the smaller sized submissive dogs. I guess she's a dominatrix!

My hubby was the one who took the pics and the cats don't care for him too much. He's more of a doggie person and doesn't understand cats much ;)

They do get along. The black doggie (Daina) used to be our Alpha-Female, but she's getting old and doesn't really give a shit anymore ;) The red doggie (Dini) has happily taken over the alpha position. Dottie is very much the Omega, whereas Neo is just too dumb to comprehend pecking order and just does whatever he wants.

As for a 2nd doggie, i think that's a fantastic idea! Doggies are so social and to be alone all day can be very stressful for them. So take her w/ you when you go to the Humane Society. They'll let you and your doggie meet a potential sister or brother before adoption!

[info]toolstriss

September 14 2005, 20:45:47 UTC 6 years ago

You'd recommend the Humane Society over the TLAC? :) I'm all for ideas! And I would love to get another dog for Penguin. We see her everyday for lunch, so she doesn't spend more than 4 hours alone at a time, but I still think it'd be nice for her.

Your description of your alpha/omega/apathetic dogs cracked me up.. haha. :)

Penguin! I love me some good Penguin photos. She's so cute! :D

And thank you. She says hi. :)

I have 3 kitties. I know you're not a huge cat fan, but mine are super-cute snuggle beasties :D!

Furball and Mini are from the same litter, although you'd never guess it by their looks or personalities. Furball is very outgoing, orange, fluffy, and dumb. Hehe. Mini is shy, but is the queen of snuggles when no strangers are around and she's tiny. She likes humans better than other cats.

Furball


Mini


Monty was a malnourished stray that found me on a cold, rainy night. He's now HUGE. He's a 22 lb snuggle bunny. He's way too smart for his own good and always seems like he knows what's going on.

I love kitties!!

Oh wow! They look HUGE! *laughs* do they all try to sleep on you?!

Re: I love kitties!!

Only Monty is huge. Mini is actually really small. Furball is kind of long, but he's pretty skinny. His fluff is deceiving ;).

Mini ALWAYS sleeps on me. If she sees me getting ready for bed, she immediately goes to the bed and waits by my pillow. She likes to have her body under the covers and her head out, resting on my shoulder. She sleeps that way all night long.

Furball also likes to snuggle, but Mini hisses at him, so he tends to stay at the foot of the bed. If I'm relaxing on the couch, he likes to snuggle with me, though.

Monty likes to burrow under the covers and sometimes he sleeps at the foot of the bed. He also likes to climb up on me and plop down on me when I'm on the couch.

They all take turns in my lap when I'm at the computer, too. All three of them are super sweet and love their chances to snuggle with humans :).

DUDE! HAHAHA.. Mini was all sticking her tongue out at you as you took her picture. That's cute.

And I can not belieeeeeeeeeeeve Monte is 22 lbs. Holy MOLY. Penguin is barely 22 lbs! Crazy. :)

[info]xiuzan

September 15 2005, 02:51:47 UTC 6 years ago

I know. Mini was just sitting there with her tongue out, so I grabbed the camera. I think she must have had it sticking out for like 10 minutes. She even changed positions and the tongue stayed the same. I was cracking up.

OMG - I have a 21 pounder that looks a LOT like him, named zeus. I found him abandoned from the duplex next door when I moved in 5 years ago in Lakeway. He is VERY affectionate.... He is not really just fat though, He is big all over - looks like yours is too - like big legs, big head - proportionate..

[info]xiuzan

September 15 2005, 07:15:13 UTC 6 years ago

Heh...I like the name Zeus. Monty is actually short for Montezuma. He was abandoned, too. I lived in a small college town and some guys graduated and just left him behind over Christmas break. That means he was probably on his own in the cold weather for about a month before the students returned and I found him. He was estimated to be about 5 months old at the time and SO scrawny and sick.

Monty definitely has some fat, but he's also big in general. The vet said he'd still be like 18 lbs, even at his healthiest weight. His head and tail look too small for him, really, but the rest of his structure is big.

It would be easier to get him to lose weight if I didn't have two skinny kitties to worry about :P.
