Awwwww!

JD - We've lost our broadband connection at home!

Max - It's not right!

JD - Which means we won't be able to blog for about a week....

Max - It's not fair!

JD - ....and we won't be able to visit your blogs either!

Max - There should be a law or something!

JD - We're going to miss catching up with you all - still, it's only for a week I suppose....

Max - Something should be done!!

JD - Anyway, please don't forget us, we'll be back soon!!

Max - I'm off to start a protest about this right now!!!

Good puppies!

Max - Sometimes I like to show what a good puppy I am by climbing onto our male human's lap to help him with his paperwork ....

Max considerately 'helps' his male human with his paperwork!!

JD - ....whilst I prove what a good puppy I am by staying off the furniture - he he he!!

'Just Dog' just having a snooze!

Find out what all the critters are up to at....

There was Thunder.....followed by Pudding!

JD - We had a great day yesterday!

Max - Busy, busy!

JD - Our humans took us on a very long walk in the morning and we met up with our usual doggie crowd that we love to play with on our morning walks.

Max - We have some good news for you - our spaniel pal Archie is a lot better now after his eye operation.

JD - He has to be kept on his lead for a little while as he's not supposed to get over-excited, but his eyes are so clear, it's great to see! Well done Archie!

Max - Our morning walks are great fun! Yesterday there were 9 of us romping around the field together - and we also met a few other pups who came over to say 'hello' to all of us!

JD - When we got back home we barely had time for a quick snooze before we were put into our car harnesses and were loaded into the car.

Max - We were taken on a long journey. Although we travel in the car most days yesterday's trip was about an hours drive which is the longest we've ever been in the car! Our humans said we did very well!

JD - Well, naturally! And when we got to our destination guess what....?!

Max - We got to meet two really coooool doggies! Here they are....


JD - They seem to think one of their humans is hiding a snack about his person, he he he!

Max - They're called Thunder and Pudding and are a couple of gorgeous labs! Pudding (on the left) is a chocolate lab and Thunder (on the right) is a black lab!

JD - Um, our readers have probably figured that out all by themselves Max....

Max - Humph! Don't be so rude JD!

JD - Thunder and Pudding were GREAT fun - and were very gracious ladies about letting us young pups play in their garden.

Max - We had SO much fun - our humans took so many snaps that we thought it best to put them into a slide show, otherwise this post would have felt like it's never going to end!

JD - So, without further ado, here is a slide show of our two new friends - just place your mouse over a picture to pause it and to read our witty captions, he he he!

Max - Hey, don't their humans have a fab garden? We hope you enjoy....

JD - When we got back home we slept and slept and slept!!

Max - We hope you've all had a good weekend too!

Ouch!

Max - Poor JD's been stung on the lip by a bee and is having a bit of trouble eating. He's feeling a bit under the weather and is being a little clingy with the humans as a result, so I've been looking after him by been cleaning his ears (he likes that!) and have let him have all the best sleeping spots. Here's a picture of him snuggling on our sofa....


Max - Initially he was resting his head on our male human's lap, but our male human eventually had to move, so he kindly moved the pouffe along to prop JD up instead!


Max - If JD still isn't eating by tomorrow our humans have said he'll have to go to the vet - eek!

JD - Zzzzzzzz.....!

Max - PS - please visit Charlie's blog to read shocking news about dog-meat trade and find out how you can help stop this awful thing happening to our brothers and sisters - thank you.

Empire state doggie!

JD - As requested by a few of our bloggie pals recently....

Max - ....we've asked our female human to do a post about how tall we are and how heavy we are!

JD - She needs to get a few more measurements and photos together (she's told us we're going to be weighed on something called a 'Wii Fit-Board' - we don't know what it is but we like the sound of the 'wii' part....!)

Max - ....so we'll post something in a few days time.

JD - In the meantime I'd just like to quickly mention that I was measured tonight and I'm 17 and a half inches tall....

Max - I'm sure NO-ONE'S interested JD!

JD - ....and the entry level height for a Standard Schnauzer is 17 inches!

Max - Fascinating JD!

JD - So I'm a very tall Miniature Schnauzer - GET IN!!

Max - Oh - DO stop showing off JD!

JD - Hey - shut it shorty!! *Snigger!*

Max - Humph!

JD - So, in the meantime here are a few photos of me 'coping' with being SUCH a tall doggie....he he he!

JD perches on the edge of his doggie sofa (size medium for labradores, etc - !!!)
He never simply sits on the floor any more, he always acts as if he's SO incredibly
tall he needs something to prop himself up on, it's really cute!

JD looks down over his smaller, sleeping brother


JD - I look very grumpy in this photo as my humans are laughing at me - humph!
Since reading that both Honey and Saige sit this way they find my 'perching'
technique amusing - double humph! I've decided I want to be a Giant Schnauzer when I grow up - I think I'm heading in the right direction...!
