We enjoyed the beautiful day yesterday visiting with other mini schnauzer owners at SchnOctoberFest, the NC Schnauzer Rescue’s annual big fundraising event. Last year, Riesling won for biggest ears and I donated a custom pastel painting. Eric was able to attend this year, so we took lots of photos since only one of us had to dogsit. :)

As always, Riesling’s favorite part is the car ride anywhere.

At the park, she was perfectly happy to sit in the sandbox and chew on a bone… all the while covering herself in sand.

We didn’t have a costume for pup, but plenty of folks did, including this great cops and robbers entry.

And an escaped dragon. Who I think looks more cuddly than dangerous.

The rest of the photos are E&L Gallery.
