I Love Schnauzers   My life with Schnauzers

speaking of uncomfortable sleeping positions …

As you can see, Miss D has taken to wearing her winter sweaters. This one is a hand-me-down from our friend, Pumpkin, a yellow lab/boxer mix who outgrew this sweater long ago. Miss D and I were napping on the sofa in front of a warm fire last night and this is what I awoke to find. Had to snap a pic. Miss D makes me laugh.

We got a new microchip this week. She has another one, according to the tag on her collar, but it appears to have migrated to her armpit and it no longer scans. So we got a new one. What else is new? Nothing much, I’m afraid. What a boring blog post!

Mommy is still nursing a strained back, walking stiffly and afraid to bend. Makes for slow and frustrating night patrols around the neighborhood. Plus we haven’t walked with Nettie the Scottish terrier for awhile because frankly I’m afraid I won’t be able to physically handle it if a dispute breaks out.

The leaves are finally changing colors and beginning to fall. It’s late in the season for this, but we’ve had a warm autumn. Thanksgiving in the United States is next week already! How this year has flown! Miss D is having fun running through the piles of leaves and making a mess of things, as usual. I leave the back door ajar so I don’t have to continually get up to let Miss D in or out. Right now, Miss D is sitting on the threshold, between the door and the step, enjoying the breeze from out of doors while sitting comfortably indoors. Make up your mind, Deita! In or out?
