Boring life of boarders.

This one is the last post for tonight. I promise!
this month we had a house-guest named Lulu.
She was staying with us for a few days to get her spa treatment
and spend a good time at our "woodland resort".
I have to mention that she had luxury apartment all for herself
what under other conditions serves as my studio room, guest room etc.
Well - she WAS a guest after all!


Beautiful girl from Tutta and Roy.
Had to share with You!

Show must go on!

This weekend we spent our time (and money!) at the Harrisburg dog show.
Brought just about a dozen of dogs for health clinic (interesting event by itself)
and got to meet many old friends.
Above (right in the middle with thee ONLY schnauzer) - our friend Carol
in the Terrier Group ring.


 Above - Tanya and Vanya watching Terrier Group.
OK, not exactly - Tanya is watching terriers and Vanya is 
more like watching photographer.


Above - Irina, our two-legged friend Jennifer and our
four-legged friend Rosie.

Above - enjoying the sun!
Hard life of show dog.
(one of babies Carol is showing this spring).
Of course we also got to meet our dear friend Karen,
that was helping us with taking in and out all the schnauzers, but...
no pictures of this event! Hands were busy with all those leashes!
Busy-busy day, but much fun!

Spring is here and Bea's puppies are grown up!


Hard to believe how fast time flies, but here they are - Bea's litter.
Few days ago they got groomed and ready for vet appointment with our vets.
Little ladies are first 4 pictures. They brother is the last one.
BTW, he wasn't very pleased with our photoshoot idea,
that is why he is looking sort of grumpy. 







 After their grooming session everybody went to the vets office
and got to see our Doctor Lisa and her lovely assistant - Emily.


Our vets are terrific and yes, we all normally spend most of time on a floor. 
No worry - it just was freshly sanitized before we brought everybody in.


Now little ones are officially ready to go home.
yes, we WILL miss them, no reason to ask.
I'm in love with Bea and if I could I would keep if not all,
so most of her kids. They are very special to Ira and I.

Spring Joy. Flowers, schnauzers and more...


Finally I have my computer back and can start posting again...
But before I'll post any dogs, I would like to share with You
my latest art project what was another painting on silk.

I wanted to make something very different from just regular
"wall-hanging" piece of art, therefore I made it
to be wearable one.
I made one of my schnauzer-dog into my model
and added some bright tulips from the last spring photoshoot.
I love my dogs and I love my flowers!...
I combined both and got beautiful idea for this piece
what I called "Spring Joy".


 This is a hand-painted with silk dyes one-of-a-kind scarf
decorated with spring blooms and pictures of dogs.
It is finished now and I only have to steam it in a day or two to set the colors.


I'm ready for the next project and ready for spring!

Busy week/weekend with Wookies.

And once again I wasn't posted for a while... just was too busy. Snow is finally gone
(OK, not all snow, but most of it) and in our case it mean only one thing - much of outdoors cleaning
and steep start on spring grooming session of our  "Wookies".
This is how schnauzer in full coat after winter is look like... You probably
will not recognize who is who under all that coat. I'm going to make You guess...
Any good guessing could be posted in comments!
BTW, today we had a road trip with 3 of them to York show grounds.
Naturally nobody can be shown like that, but they all still OK to go
for their eye clinic. Everybody passed the test, eyes are perfect!
I'm slightly envious, as I think I do need computer glasses and need to see my doctor
sometime in close proximity about those...
Well, new week just started... time to get out and fix that computer of mine.
Maybe then we will have more going on with this blog and web site has to be updated too...
Stay tuned!

Babies play time... and some singing!


Gina's babies are learning to play and enjoying their new bigger playground area...
Mean while You may get a pick on our background-sound-producer! 
Loud enough to be heard from another room.
Enjoy!

Day @ the Nursery.

 I still do not have my computer and/or software handy...
Regardless of that life goes on and I'm posting some updates from my phone,
now when I figured out how to do that... I was ignoring using of phone for ages, just because 
always had much better way to do things...
But when You best is not available, You have to do Your best with what 
You have, right?...
Above - our precious Bea with her two week olds.
Below - Gina's bunch, what just got another upgrade to their apartment.
They absolutely in love with bigger place and all those new toys.
Perhaps some of You may recognize what those are....
Yes! We using parrot toys for our babies!..
 They enjoy those, but it only will good till our rascals will have more teeth..
Then more tough toys will have to come to play....
And we have plenty of those too!..
