Super Pup

You might say golf is big in our house. We all play. Well, my big sis Sambuca and I don’t really play, but we are big fans. Okay, so we aren’t exactly fans, but we do like the creature comforts our human provides so we give the odd tale wag when golf is on TV.…

The Spider

Every morning when my mom, Tanya, wakes up, she crawls out of bed and goes to the kitchen. Sambuca and I jump off the bed and follow her. Sambuca stops at the living room, jumps up on the leather sectional and heads to her favorite spot, tucked into a corner. I hop up and sit…

The Story of Mousie

My mom, Tanya, loves to take naps. It’s usually on Saturday or Sunday, sometimes on both days! This is the setup. It’s always in the living room, on the leather sectional. Golf or tennis is on television. On the rare occasion, it might just be a random TV show. Sambuca is usually tucked in the…

The Licorice

Every morning, Tanya takes Sambuca and me for a walk. Usually, it is around our neighbourhood in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Sometimes, it’s a trip in the Tan-mobile, as my mom calls it, and we end up at Shubie Park or Conrad’s Beach, or Rainbow Haven Beach. We know when it is a longer car ride,…

After what seemed like a long time, we are finally getting to a place I hear them call St. Lambert. I open my eyes and look up at my new mom. “Oh, hello little one. Did you have a good nap?” she asks me lovingly. I sure did, Momma. “Appy, we are almost there, and…

The Day I Met My Mom

I was born on July 29, 2017, near Bromont, Quebec. I remember having brothers and sisters, but they all left before me, to go to their new homes. You all know me as Appy now, but my original name was Nelly, after my mom. On September 25, they told me my new family was coming…

The Mitten

By the door in the entrance way, there is a large bucket. It has lots of items in it. Boxes of Christmas lights, electric cords, small garden tools, dog poop bags, dog coats and my mom’s favourite pair of mittens. Her hands are always warm, so she rarely wears the mittens when she walks us…

The Apple Pie

Every week, my mom leaves Sambuca and I in our home alone. She turns on the radio, has her purse around her neck and says to us, “Mommy will be back in five minutes. I will see you soon. Love you!” And the door shuts and I hear the key in the lock. She is…

The Can

Hello, my name is Appy, and I am a four-year-old mini-schnauzer. My full name is Apothic Red Nelly Maier and my mom’s name is Tanya. My fur is black, and my mom says there are not many black schnauzers out there. I weigh 12.6 pounds and must have been the rut of the litter because,…
