| When I said we were going to be good watchdogs, I meant it! We love to sit on the front step and watch - we watch the birds, we watch the children playing on the field, we watch.............. well........... anything that could possibly be watched! I am now 5 months old, and Lulu is three months young. The PM (in case you have forgotten - that is the People Mommy) is very pleased with us because we are both house trained now - no more puddles. What she is NOT happy about is the fact that we have become qualified garden destroyers and as if that is not enough - we love to drag all the evidence into the house! It is great fun to see her face when she returns home from school to find sticks and stones and leaves and beheaded plants all over the floor. The PM thinks I have outgrown this stage, but I just loooove to help my Lady create chaos - I can't let her take all the blame! |
Hi there... My name is Buddy and my lovely wife is called Lulu. We are Black and Silver Miniature Schnauzers. We live in South Africa with our People Mommy (PM for short - also known as Maggie) Our l♥ve story started in 2011, and I started blogging in 2012 under the post called "The Arrival". We hope that you will enjoy this story of our happy life together! ♥ Thanks for stopping by ♥

My first shave...
 |
| Today I had my first Schnauzer shave. It was a rather daunting experience, to say the least. As you can see from the look in my eyes: I am NOT a happy chappy! I sincerely hope that I don't have to go through that again soon! The experience itself was bad enough but the fact that it feels as if I have a prickly pear pinched under my tail is killing me! The PM can't stop staring though - she can't believe it's really me! I am a very handsome chap, even if I have to say so myself.... |
 |
| The PM did not want to post this photo because it was taken without a flash and the light was not good. I insisted though - I think my Lulu looks SO cute here! |

Dinner!
 |
| The only thing that Lulu likes more than me is FOOD! She sits down, goes in head first and starts gobbling - the tail never stops wagging! The PM thinks Lulu "drinks" her kibbles in the same way that she drinks water.Lulu is fed in the kitchen because she heads straight to my bowl when she is done with hers . I used to also gobble up all my food as fast as possible, but I have outgrown that. Good news is that the PM is impressed that Lulu has not messed in the house for two days. What the PM doesn't realise is that I should get the credit for it. I am the one that leads her outside & I am the one that stands there & looks ridulous while I try and coax her to do the right thing Lulu used to run and hide at the PM's feet whenever I barked, but she discovered her bark today! We are going to be a mean team of watchdogs |

Playtime
 |
| Lulu & I love to play with Muffin's toys. There are some very interesting things in the toybox. This is a collection of soap powder spoons & strange looking pegs on a keyring The PM said it was Muffin's first toy that she made for her 14 years ago. We both like it because it is noisy. No wonder the PM calls it a rattle. |
 |
| The PM is very clever at creating home made toys. This is an old broomstick that she cut up to make large wooden "beads" & then threaded onto a length of nylon rope. It is great to chew on & I love to run with it because it seems to run with me! Lulu is not too fond of it, though |
 |
| The PM loves it when I hold something in my mouth & make the brghu-brghu! sound of approval |
Mischief...
 |
| I hang my head in shame! Not only did we dirty the floor, we also managed to get mud on the fridge door and all along the bottom of cupboard doors. I am also ashamed to admit that I chewed the clasp on Lulu's lovely pink (expensive) collar and played with it in the mud. The PM was fuming.... |
So happy together
 |
| This has to be doggy heaven.... We always touch when we sleep. The PM complains of an occasional foul smell that fills the air, but I am not telling who is the guilty one.... |
 |
| ...what's with the bird? I hope it doesn't bite. The PM tells me that all the toys that we play with belonged to Muffin when she was a puppy. She is 14 - I mean that is actually 98 years old! I guess we are playing with vintage toys??? |
LULU - at last!
Ain't she cute?
 |
| Lulu arrived when the lawn was being mowed - she enjoyed the grass so much! |
 |
| I found myself staring......... |
 |
| .......and staring!! Lulu is the most beautiful girl I had ever seen! |
 |
| Even the old girl couldn't stop staring, but I pretended not to notice. |
My Parents
Before I get to the part where Lulu arrives, I would like to introduce you to my parents
 |
| This is my Dad - his name is Gizmo and he is a "Salt & Pepper" Mini Schnauzer Am I thankful that it is now illegal on our country to dock a dog's tail! |
 |
| This is my birth mother. One of the rug rats is ....ME! This was taken on the day after the 5 of us were born - can you blame her for looking so tired? Mother is a Black and Silver Miniature Schnauzer. Recently The PM had to go away and I spent the week end with my parents. It was great fun to see them again and sleep behind my mother's back |
Feeling at Home
 |
| Rolling in the Clover and loving it. The PM is the apple of my eye.... |
 |
| I love to lie in her arm like a peoplechild |
 |
| I pose willingly |
 |
| but my favourite hobby is to trample her garden while she is photographing bugs1 |
