We went to Lake Ontario beach today for a stroll now that the summer crowds are gone. Zina got soaked by a rogue wave. It was pretty funny. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #LakeOntario18 Sep 2026 21:41 +0000at://did:plc:vnu7hklmdev2fftzw3lcqou2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvt54l6vgk22https://bsky.app/profile/schnauzermom5.bsky.social/post/3mucgom4z5c2cWe walked in the woods with our best friend, Mili, the standard poodle. We've been friends with Mili since we were both 5 months old. Now we have to drive 170 miles to see her, but that's what you do for a bestfriend. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #poodles, #bestfriendsforever30 Aug 2026 12:52 +0000at://did:plc:vnu7hklmdev2fftzw3lcqou2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mucgom4z5c2chttps://bsky.app/profile/schnauzermom5.bsky.social/post/3mtt3r3yrvc2iWalkies around our favorite pond yesterday.

In the last six months, we bought a new house, commuted until we sold the old one, retired, and then lost our beloved grandfather. It's been a stressful time, but we've been keeping mom sane with our schnauzer shenanigans. Life with schnauzers: priceless. ❤️ #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky16 Aug 2026 12:45 +0000at://did:plc:vnu7hklmdev2fftzw3lcqou2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt77qvxzyc2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/schnauzermom5.bsky.social/post/3mokxapo4zc2hPooped after a long day of digging the new garden. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky18 Jun 2026 13:39 +0000at://did:plc:vnu7hklmdev2fftzw3lcqou2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mokxapo4zc2hhttps://bsky.app/profile/schnauzermom5.bsky.social/post/3mmo7ukcssk2nWe're loving our yard and all the woods walks just minutes from our new home.

(Hopefully tomorrow!)

We got a record 10 inches of snow yesterday.
