Bear 2 1/2 months.

I received an update from Bears family at the beginning of August and at the time I was having trouble getting the pictures up.  Happily, I was able to load them today.   Yah!   They are so adorable.  I know you  will enjoy them!

Hi Mary!  Thought you would like to see a picture.  We went to the groomer on Friday and the groomer said he was great.    I told them it was because of you.   Thanks for a great puppy!   -- Hilda

 

Update on Cheerio ( 3 months old)

Cheerio at 3 months old

Cheerio is doing fine.  Can't wait for those baby teeth to fall out.  He is a wonderful boy.  The cat might not agree, he really likes to use Nigel (the cat) as a chew toy.  He is doing pretty well with potty training, or maybe we are.  Doesn't quite get it yet.  We have just gotten bells for the back door and he does seem to like ringing them to go out.  Everyone at work loves seeing him  He sleeps a good portion of the day.  Here are two pictures of him looking over this 'wall' at work.

Cheerio goes to work with his Mom!  How lucky!

From Mary:
I am so thrilled to see these pictures.  I want to scoop Cheerio up and give him a kiss!  What a cutey pie!   So glad you two are enjoying your time together!

Schnoozin with Schnauzers

I want to share something funny about our dogs.  These dogs are bundles of love!  Whenever I lie down on the couch ...at any time of the day....the dogs are on me in seconds.    They love to snuggle up close and get cozy.   So be forewarned when you buy a puppy.  One puppy is a bundle of love.  Two puppies is a dog pile.  And three puppies...well, you might just get suffocated!   

Just taking a moment to kick back!

Crate Training Your Dog

When my puppies go to their new homes, they have already been introduced to the crate. When their new owners put their bed in their crate, they come to prefer sleeping in their 'special' place. Here are some reminders about Crate Training for puppy owners....

Our Stud Ricky

I wanted to share some recent photos of Ricky our Stud dog.  He is not fully groomed in these photos.   But I thought they were pretty cute anyway.

Ricky is a super friendly poodle with an even temperament.  I feel blessed that we have such a wonderful father for our litters.

Update from Morelka

Here's an update from Morelka's mom....

Just wanted to check in with you.  We follow your blog to get our puppy fix in.  Morelka is great.  This is a pictuer of her after a very hard morning of chasing a ball, eating, pooping and chasing a bird in our backyard.  Life is hard when you are a Schnoodle.

Frosty goes Home!

Last Tuesday Frosty's new mom flew on the red-eye from San Francisco to Reagan National Airport.  I brought Frosty's to her at the airport around 11 am.  and she got on the next flight back to San Francisco.   What a day!  I felt sorry that she had such a long trip...but I could see she was so excited about Frosty, that it was all worthwhile.   Frosty had a little carrier to travel under the seat...but I suspect he probably slept on her lap most of the way.)   It seems all went well.  I understand there are two little kids back home who are very excited about their new puppy! 

Cheerio goes home!

The last of Coco's Schnoodle puppies went home this Saturday.   Cheerio stayed with us until he was nearly 10 weeks old, because his family had travel plans before he was born.  Cheerio is now living in North Carolina.   Sorry my pictures are a bit blurry.  Cheerio was so full of energy that he was very squirmy and I barely even got to take a photo!   I am seriously looking into a new camera.  Fast puppies need a fast camera!

Cheerio with his new best friend!

The different looks of Gumbo the Schnoodle!

Before the Grooming.....so cute!

After the grooming....so handsome!

The above photos were shared by Gumbo's mom.  It is so fun to see the affects of grooming on the look of a Schnoodle.  Both photos are absolutely precious!  Thank you for sharing them with us!

Maya and Oscar 3 year old Update

I am a little late sharing this letter from Oscar's mom since Coco's litter kept me so busy.  But I really enjoyed this letter and photos, and know you will too....

Oscar and Maya are 3 years old!

I cannot believe our little Schnoodle babies are already 3 years old!  Happy Belated Birthday to Oscar and Maya's syblings from Dixies Mother's Day 2012 litter.   We celebrated with a nice 'family' birthday dinner over at Maya's. 

 Deb made them both a very nice dinner of chicken, rice, peas and carrots.  This was a first for Oscar and he loved it!  He even tried to steal some of Maya's after he finished all his chicken. Oscar also got to meet baby Alex. I think he was excited to make a new friend, literally on his own level.

How adorable is this!

He took advantage of the opportunity to try and recruit a new catch partner.  He kept putting the tennis ball on the babies lap and just couldn't understand why he wasn't throwing it for him:)  It was a riot!

Thanks Jen, for sharing your birthday celebration with us!   It is so fun to see Oscar and Maya all grown up.    And so cute to see Oscar interacting with baby Alex!  It is great that you caught that on camera. So glad that Jen had a happy and safe delivery.  Congratulations to Deb and Eric on their very adorable baby boy!   ---Mary
