typical evening

Me trying to work on the computer and Riesling determined to take up as much of my lap as possible. Happy Friday!

Riesling vs. the front window

About two weeks ago we had some unseasonably warm weather which allowed us to open the windows for a bit. Since Riesling is enamored with the the smells and sounds of "outside," she was glued to the...

dirty dog

We took pup to the dog park yesterday and after much running around she managed to become quite muddy. We wrapped her in a sheet for the ride home and deposited her straight into the shower for a...

Back home!

We are back in the US, and Riesling is ecstatic to have us home.

the first leg of our journey

The drive to NY was blissfully uneventful except for the accidental trip into Philly (we missed the exit to the NJ Turnpike off I-95). Riesling slept most of the way and a stop for coffee and hot...

Schnauzer Claus

Since we are leaving soon we had an early Christmas in NY this weekend, and this "Schnauzer Claus" was one of our presents:

Everything but the kitchen sink

Riesling is none-too-pleased with all the luggage we have out at the moment - she's probably thinking that we're leaving her behind again, so she's taking matters into her own paws. Evidence:...

Whoa doggie

I've been experimenting with my new lens, and Riesling has been the model for most of my experimentation. A few selections below: We are always asked how old Riesling is - when we reply...

Riesling vs. frisbee

This most recent video installment features Riesling venting her frustration on a frisbee in the living room. YouTube video link The mini-schnauzer I had growing up, Mandy, used to do the exact same...

Lazy Sunday

Well, not really this lazy - we have a lot to do in the next week. Riesling was scared by a passing thunderstorm so a short nap session was in order.

Riesling’s new ‘do

Riesling went to the Ooh-la-la dog spa today, and came back looking beautiful. Proof linked from flickr below: Note the racing strip down the middle of her back in the second set of pics. It's only...

Bedtime

Riesling spent an hour at the dog park yesterday, so she was ready for bed shortly after dinner. By 11p she was exhausted: You can also see Leandra looking at our new London map. It's hard to...

at the dog park

After a few months of taking Riesling to the dog park on a regular basis, she is finally starting to feel comfortable. It was beautiful today, so we took everyone over to the park before driving...

Ready for Christmas

Riesling is all ready for Christmas, as her garland necklace testifies: High on her Christmas list this year is a stuffed squirrel (well, her true wish is a real squirrel, but it'd be rather messy,...

not meant to be

I should be out hiking in search of a beautiful waterfall right now, but I'm not. We packed up the car with pup and a weekend worth of luggage last night and headed to Asheville. About ten minutes...

pup and me

Eric has been gone most of the evening and when he came home he found us on the couch watching the Louisville/West Virginia game. :)

Eric said I had to post about this

I fed my dog candy last night and didn't know it. Let me clarify: It's not that I was worried about her missing out on all the fun of Halloween or anything, it's just that I didn't read the...

My weekend

While Leandra was in Athens this past weekend, I stayed home with Riesling. When we got up on Saturday morning I noticed that she was limping around and favoring her back left paw. Since she was...
