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 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,…
