Come on, DUers ... let's see the holiday pet pix!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who makes the furry kid strike a holiday pose! :D


Ozzy, my 7 month old schnoodle.

3. Good grief!
How on earth did you get 5 dogs to sit still long enough to take a picture????

They're adorable! (Love the Lab in the middle - he's the only one that actually looks like he's enjoying this!)

7. It's amazing what they'll do for treats.
This time, I didn't even have my husband to help me.

And you're right about Chase. He was removed from a situation of abuse and/or neglect (he still has the scars on his legs.) Ever since we adopted him two years ago, he has had that smile on his face! :)

Thanks! :hi:

4. Lots of Snow, Oh Turkey & Where is Santa?
Kiddos getting ready for Santa, even if much snow has fallen! Zanstar & Beijo



Practice time for "stay & leave it" commands - 5 minutes! They did get BIG treats for doing so well!


Beijo so wanting Santa to come early, watching for Santa through the window

15. Thank you! They are the center of my life!
I pinch myself every morning when I wake up to white fluff wrapped around me! They are what keep me going! They keep me on my toes for sure and in stitches from laughing so hard!

17. I know how you feel. He keeps me going ... and going and going ... LOL!
I lost my poodle, Maestro, in February after 11 years. I was devastated! The house was so lonely and empty, but I really didn't want another dog because I didn't want to go through that kind of loss ever again. Five months later, a scruffy little schnoodle looked directly into my eyes, wagged that little tail and I was hooked! :loveya: He definitely keeps me on my toes, but it's worth it! I love him so much!!!

18. Oh I so understand-
I lost my sweet girl of 15 years in Feb 2 years ago. I swore I was never going to put my heart through that pain again, but then, came along these 2 and I am so happy they gave me NO choice about opening my heart to them! Haa haa haa! I only hope I give them as much joy to them as they give me, if that makes sense!

I miss my wheeties (cats) too... they all 4 passed within one year, all of old age, gosh I miss the purring. Sometimes I wake up during the night hearing them pur! Miss them so much, but with the current economy, I'll wait a bit, unless of course one picks me, then of course I will not say no!

We are all so lucky to be human parents to 4 legged babies! :pals:

11. They're so cute!!
I love the red hoodie! I can't believe they didn't attack the turkey! Ozzy would have been digging in as soon as the plate hit the floor, LOL! They are very well behaved and deserved whatever treats they got. :hi:

16. Thank you!
I just cracked up when they came in and the Red hood had fallen over my boys eyes! They didn't want to come in, so loving the snow!

When I released them from their "stay/leave it" command, they walked away from that dang turkey! I was so proud of them! But of course I had their favorite chew sticks in hand, that might have helped! What kiddos!

12. Ozzy thanks you for the smooches!
:hi:

He had a growth spurt early on, but he hasn't gotten any bigger in two months, so we think he's done growing. He's 14 inches high, 15 inches long and 16 pounds. He's a miniature schnauzer/toy poodle mix and I was told that schnauzers can be 12-14 inches high and 12-20 pounds ... which is exactly where he is, so he apparently got the memo, LOL!

His size can fool you ... he's VERY strong! Sometimes I think have a huge dog masquerading as a schnoodle. ;-)

13. He is just so cute! What a wonderful, happy face to wake up to
every morning! I bet he is strong :0)! My kiddos are in agility and BOY they fly over that A Frame like they are big 4 leggers! A frame is also their favorite piece of equipment on the field! My girl can jump VERY high, like a kangaroo! It is so funny!
Thanks for giving Ozzy a big smooches! Oh that sweet face!
Okay... so more smooches please! hee hee!!
