Visions of green grass

No we didn't move house, I just decided to post a photo that didn't contain snow in it. This photo was taken in the month of June, a happy, tired dog enjoying summer. It has been a long LONG time since I have seen a schnauzers tongue hung this far out of his mouth.
Not to be totally negative, here is a list of my top reasons to LIKE snow

• You don't have to mow it
• Frozen dog poop is easier to scoop
• A fresh snowfall covers yellow snow
• Roads are too bad to drive on so I don't have to justify not getting out of my PJ's
• A chance to stay in and get caught up on all my email

Ok it is a pretty skimpy list, but we have just broken records for snowfall this past month, the pluses are starting to wear a little thin.

Lip smacking good!

Hilde dropped by this morning for some grooming to get her ready for a dog show this coming weekend. The Standard Schnauzer Club of Canada has a Schnauzer Booster at the Ontario Breeders show in Markham and Hilde is one of the girls entered. The other Dinsdale dog that will be in attendance is Fergie, she was over for her pre-show groom on Sunday. Usually I would attend the show as both Fergie & Hilde's owners are new to dog showing, however I have pups due to arrive on February 26th and it is not unusual for pups to arrive 3-4 days earlier then planned. The ladies are off to show the girls without me, I hope they have a fun time.

Happy Valentine Day

Where do you place your Valentine bouquet? If you live with a houseful of Schnauzers, then out of their reach....well almost out of their reach.
Hexe says we should all take time to stop and smell the roses.
