"Schnauzer Weekly" project. September 30 - October 6, 2013

"Lady with Daisies"

This week I painted my beautiful Lulu. She was posing so well for me,

when we did this photoshoot some time ago...

Only flowers weren't on picture.

"Schnauzer Weekly" project. September 23-29, 2013.

"Schnauzer Weekly" (SW) is my new project/personal art challenge.

I'm going to make and  post on this blog and my e-bay action site

ONE hand-made figurine, or painting, or whatever

featuring miniature schnauzer.

#1 SW is an earrings box featuring truly miniature hand-made

of pure 99% silver cast figurine of miniature schnauzer.
Made of PMC (Precious Metal Clay, Silver)

Truly unique, one-of-a-kind!

I didn't keep the mold, so it will be no others.

Bonus for this SW is a delicate pair of brand-new fresh-water
pearl earrings

Important information on new viral outbreak. Please read!

There is a serious concern among breeders and show handlers about new dog sickness what look like PARVO, however could be as deadly for adult animals as for puppies. It is not confirmed yet, but look like it is new viral mutation and vaccines what currently available are NOT protecting Your dog.
So far situation is not clear, however cases of illness reported as close to us as Ohio.
Please be careful taking Your pets in any public dog-places  (doggy-parks, dog show grounds etc.).
This is not HOAX and could be very serious.

Assignment: "Find Prada!"

Assignment: "Find Prada!"

That would be too easy! "I'm outta here!"-says Prada (on a left).

Staying up to her name and feeling all special she didn't care 

to cooperate in our photoshoot!... Oh, well!..

What about everybody else?..

Left to right: Prada (starring, but in the bush),

Munchkin (being a good boy, trying very hard),

Babe (already thinking to escape and start new adventure!)

and Pepper (sitting pretty and trying to please, as usually).

Hope You like them all and now Good Night!

(perhaps it is "Good Morning" for You, but it is after 12 PM here).

Lacya's litter on playground.

Not much time to do all those video, but today

we decided to give You, guys, a little treat..

Enjoy watching our little rascals exploring great outdoors!

New games etc.

What this post is about today? Clearly about sweet NOTHING!

Ira and I had so called "day off". In our meaning it is a day

when we do something what is not scheduled, but we just feel

like doing this time... I like this feeling.

This is what I call "Freedom". Our "freedom" simply is a 

"freedom of choices".

One of the things we did today; small photoshoot of puppies.

Not for any reason, just because  they were 

playing so well and we happened to have camera 

right on the middle of kitchen table!

Lacya's pups are just about two weeks younger compare to Tutta's guys,

but they  too discovering joy of playing with toys.

Above: Prada (left) and Pepper (right) Vs Mr Monkey.

At my humble opinion Mr Monkey doesn't have a chance!

Below: Boy and girl from Tutta trying to figure out

whose toy it is...

Perhaps tomorrow we will be able to take some more pictures

of them playing outside...

But we will see how day goes!

Scary Blue "THAT" by Shazzam Of Oz video production.

This is a good demonstration video about how to  introduce Your puppy

to new things, what may look for him scary at beginning. 

Do not force You young dog, just show - there is nothing to be afraid of.

Make a little fun game out of it.

Your puppy will follow You, just let him do it on his own pass.

Starring:

"Gigi", the schnauzer, as  "Shy puppy with one ear down"

"Sasha", the Fox Terrier, as  "Evil Villain who wants that Toy".
