Fear the Beards: Miniature schnauzers

Flashback Friday : February 26, 2010 : Stopping for dinner on our way back from adopting Joules

We drove 5 hours to adopt Joules (pretty much could have gone to LA!) from the Central Valley Rescue Railroad. On the way back, after taking her out for a bathroom break, scaredy Joules would NOT get back into her too-small borrowed crate (she was already showing her stubborn streak!), so we let her hang out in the back seat. Her attempt to get close to the Mister's taco was her first time she acted like a normal, non-freaked out dog.

Her short short hair was due to being shaved after living on the streets for more than 6 months (our best guess). As you can see, Joules looked like she gave at least 2 litters. According to the vet we took her to, she looks like she only gave one litter, and was most likely lived in a someone's home, not a puppy mill cage, based on her comfort with being touched and groomed.

The last photo was her "mug shot": her first photo upon being rescued from the city shelter by CVRR. When the Mister first showed me her photo, I said "THAT is a schnauzer?" Obviously, I am forever grateful of his judgement in picking out our first dog. <3

Blogaround: Help a Pup Out

Blogpaws sponsored by Pedigree is sponsoring a "Write a Post-Help a Dog Blogaround" Please visit my pals Dozer and Coop @ Our Life: Dozer and Coop for the best information.

For every blog post about the campaign between now and June 30th, Pedigree will donate a 17 pound bag of food to a shelter. One bag per blog so the more of us that do it , the more tummies that get filled up. So please copy these badges and join the blogaround!

We love helping out where we can, especially when it comes to poor shelter pups like us who needed help ourselves some time ago! Thanks to Ruby who let us know about this opportunity to do some good.

International Box Day

We joined OP Pack's International Box Day!

Good thing the refurb vacuum our dad ordered came yesterday. We were a little scared of the box, but once we were in we didn't mind so much :) Prescott liked it so much he pretended he couldn't get out.

Now the vacuum that came in that box- that is another story. It's so loud, we can't help but hide in our beds when dad used it all over the house yesterday.

Nubbin wags,

Joules & Prescott

Sunday Funday: Father's Day BBQ

Prescott loves the sun so much he will wedge his way in between the fence and edge of the deck to get it. And lay on mulch and/or plants. Joules, on the other hand, won't walk on uneven or prickly surfaces like gravel, rocks, or mulch unless she HAS to follow us.
Prescott then left me a trail of mulch around the house showing where went looking for me when he came inside. *le sigh*
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads and Doggie Dads out there!
