Another Year of Being Absolutely Appy
Birthdays are the best since my mom, Tanya, usually spoils us on our special day. Today I am nine years old. As per The Google, and because I am a miniature Schnauzer, I am between 52-56 years old in human-equivalent years. This means that I am about the same age as my momma. She’s going…

From Naps to Adventures: A Day in the Life of Me and Sheepy
My mom Tanya always says the following, “We are not supposed to have favorites but I am so blessed because I have 2 x schnauzers and you are both my favorites!” This follows by her kissing Sambuca’s head and then mine. Now I know that Tanya has lots of favorite things. Like her favorite pencil, a treasured writing device called a…

I’m a Dog, but Even I Know This 2‑Ingredient Japanese Cheesecake Is Viral
My momma, Tanya is a great cook! How do I know? Well, she once shared with my older sister Sambuca and I that she started cooking when she was very young. And over many, many years, she has gone from using minced garlic in a jar to always having on hand some fresh garlic. Other…

Lying Next to Sambuca: A Turning Point
It was a Saturday morning and that meant Tanya, our mom, was taking Sambuca and I for a walk. She always checked the weather forecast before leaving, and the tides of the ocean as well. If it were low tide, we would go for a beach walk. High tide and we stayed local and would…

The Joy of Junk Food: Schnauzers and McNuggets
Sometimes my mom, Tanya, gets what she calls junk food. I love those days! Why may you ask? It’s because it means that Sambuca and I get the junk food too. She’s great that way, always sharing her food. It’s in very small quantities because she doesn’t want my big sister or I to get…

Why Eating Your Dog Bed Is a Bad Idea
Apparently, I am one lucky pup. Or at least that is what my mom, Tanya, tells me. She says I’m lucky she adopted me. She says I’m lucky I have a big sister in Sambuca. I’m lucky that I get breakfast and dinner every day along with healthy snacks like carrots, cheese, blueberries, strawberries and…

The Pencil
I take after my mom, Tanya. She’s a writer. A writer at heart as she calls it. Can you imagine! She still makes To Do lists on pieces of paper and sticky notes. One time, she showed me her list. At the top of the page, she had written ‘To Accomplish’, followed by a running…

Les Brian
Apparently, my mom is a late bloomer. Tanya was gone for the day. Who knows where? Sometimes she tells Sambuca and I where she is off to, like going into the office. Other times, she gives the standard line to us, “I will be back in five minutes. Love you.” It’s never just five minutes. …
