Already 7 Weeks Old!

This is a hard age to photograph. Mick wanted to eat the props more than pose for me.

The first time I flew a puppy I was sobbing.. The poor attendant that was helping me check in didn't know what to say.. I just said "your use to this right? doesn't everyone bawl" as he handed me a tissue, he said "uh.. well, no.. "

So Mickey will be no different than the rest, I will tear up.. But it makes all the difference when you know they are going to good loving homes!

We only have one week left with this little man! I love and get attached to all of our puppies. but it gets harder to let them go when we keep them so long!

Early Morning Play Time!!

Mickey was so cute this morning I had to record him. He was completely entertained by himself, well until he noticed my camera strap..

6 Weeks Old..

This week has been insane, I am sorry I am just getting these pics up! The puppies officially turned 6 weeks old on Thursday. Christmas was so much fun this year,
it is sad it is over so quickly. I hope everyone had a great holiday and that the New Year brings happiness to you and your families!

The time with our little babies is quickly coming to an end! We went from 5 to 2 in just a couple of days, and Fredd-E is going tomorrow afternoon. Mick-E is going to be flying in January so he gets to hang out for a couple more weeks!

MICK-E (sold)

My little man has really taken to the puppies. He decided to pack them around in the wagon santa brought him. His big sis thought adding a few of her pups would make it better for the parade they were going to be in? So he is sharing the wagon with a stuffed Border Collie, Max from the Grinch, Pongo & Penny from 101 Dalmatians, a puppy pillow pet and 2 Yellowstone Wolfs!

Yes, he was quite cozy in there and it was really cute!

Don't you just want to smooch that face!!!

Mick-E loves people. He will follow us around the house and he is SO quick! He constantly tries to climb in my lap during his 'free' time instead of attacking and playing with my shoes like Fredd-E.

It is amazing how you can fall so head over heels so quickly, for something so small!

5 Weeks Old!

You know your life is exciting when the highlight of your day is when all 5 puppies poop outside.. Yes, I realized this as me and Sis were doing the Dora 'we did it' dance this morning..

All of the pups are starting to get the idea, and it is a relief for sure! They are eating pretty good, still want their mom so I am separating them a lot more so they eat more food! Ashlie is weaning them herself too! I hear her grumble at them when they try to latch on! She is a good mama!

Here are their 5 week old pics, I can't believe the time has gone so fast. We are really going to miss these gorgeous little babies!

SHAGG-E (sold)

Shagg is a cute little guy. He is mellow and likes to hang out.
He is a cuddle bug and a little shy, but still enjoys his play time.


SCOOB-E (sold)

I am in love with his eyes! I hope they stay this striking! Scoob is also really mellow, he is curious and likes to know whats going on, but he just s soon hang out and sleep in your lap!


FREDD-E (sold)

Freddy is a little more on the playful side of mellow. He is kindof a macho man.. Maybe little man syndrome? He is sweet and likes to snuggle and be with people.


DAPH-NE (sold)

Daphne is our princess. She is so petite and loves people, loves to play and rule the roost. She is very snuggly and would lick ya to death if you let her!


MICK-E (available)

Mickey is an absolute sweetheart all wrapped up in a tiny package. He is waiting for his new family to pick him! He is a very mellow and easy going mini schnauzer. He has been very well socialized, loves kids, and to be snuggled like s baby!
He is eating well and catching on to the potty training.He has an absolutely adorable face a perfectly square body and a plush soft & wavy coat!

Bath Time!!

Bath time went surprisingly well! No one howled for the water or the blow dryer! They were all nervous, but I let them sniff the blow dryer as it was running before I blew it on them, and I would take it off of them periodically but kept it running. I think it is the sound more than the wind that is scary to them. They all turned into little puff balls when they were dry! Their pictures do not do them justice. But they had already been through enough trauma I didn't want to make them pose for pictures all night!

FREDD-E

Thanks Michael!

First OFFICIAL Groom..

It is so important to make sure your puppies first haircut experience goes well. If the groomer is not patient with them it could traumatize the puppy enough to where they could become aggressive or even get anxiety and have uncontrollable wetting accidents over just getting their haircut! The buzzer and blow dryer are the scariest parts. It is important to break them in slow and reassure them constantly while you are bathing, blow drying or buzzing them.

I love my groomer. She is so patient and sweet to ALL dogs! (Even the ones who bark constantly, are REALLY smelly or have TERRIBLE breath!) Do not be afraid to interview your groomer. Ask if you can see them in action, or for references of other clients who own Schnauzers. Really call them, ask them what they like and dislike.. Most owners can tell if their dog likes going or not. Ashlie likes it, is excited to see Amy.. licks her to death.. If your dog is cowering away from your groomer, it may be a sign?? Anyway, these are just my thoughts. I am rambling because it is late! Enjoy the pics!

MICK-E (available)
I just LOVE his face! He is the biggest sweetheart.

SCOOB-E (sold)
I absolutely love Scoobs eyes!
His pictures do not do him justice at all.
He is such a beautiful puppy.

SHAGG-E (sold)
Shagg couldn't decide whether he like the santa hat or not.
He is so darling. he has the cutest little personality.

FREDD-E (reserved)
Now Fredd was ALL about the santa hat prop. He loved the ball, and wanted to play more than sit still for me. When you hold Freddy he hugs your hand with his paws! I love it.. Such a cutie!

DAPH-NE (sold)
Yeah, don't let the adorable sweet expression fool you! She knows she has EVERYONE wrapped around her little .. uh.. paw. She is the most outgoing of the bunch. But she isn't crazy hyper. She really likes people and has started whining for me even when she is with her mom!

The puppies were worn out from all of the attention they got today! First thing we went and got their haircuts. Then sis and her little friend gave them tons of play time this afternoon. And, our neighbors came by to hold and cuddle them, as did our cousins. THEN mean me, made them pose for pictures so I could show everyone how stinking cute they are!

They were all just perfectly behaved while being groomed! A little nervous, but just sweet as could be!
