Winter finally loosened its grip, and the temperature finally climbed above freezing, so Calli the Wonderschnauzer’s coat stayed in the house.
Goodness, she despises that coat.
I’m reasonably sure she’s smiling here.
Good girl.

Today needs more dog in it.
Who’s with me?

It doesn’t take much to make her happy. Just hook up her leash and head out into the snow.
Out here, nothing matters to her beyond playing relentlessly until she decides it’s time to head back.
It’s a pretty inspiring way to live.

Dad,
You don’t really think I want to be out here, do you?
I’m usually a fan of winter, but raging blizzards are a whole other thing. It’s time to head inside.
Capisce?
With much respect and love,
Calli the Wonderschnauzer

Today feels like a day that could use a bit more dog in it.
Come to think of it, maybe it should be “a lot more dog” instead of “a bit more”.
Words matter, apparently.
So does she.

Since it was a busy day for us yesterday, it was a busy day for her, as well. Hence the toe beans.
I don’t think she moved from that spot all evening, and I wasn’t about to interrupt her dog dreams.
They looked like happy ones.

Our dog likes to leave her toys in all sorts of places, like under the dining room table.
And in that moment we have a choice: sigh in frustration, or get down on the floor and capture the magic.
You know where I stand.

Calli the Wonderschnauzer stares intently into the camera after having been awoken from her third nap of the day by the sound of a ringing smartphone. Photo taken in London, Ontario, Canada.
"I’m watching you, Wazowski. Always watching. Always."
Seriously, what’s the deal with that Schnauzer stare?

She looks like I feel right about now.
Maybe we could all use a little more nap time.

A very unhappy Calli the Wonderschnauzer refuses to pose for the camera on a walk just after a spring snow storm in London, Ontario, Canada.
#DogHaiku:
I hate this damn coat.
I will not pose for you, Dad.
Let’s go home right now.

Strike a pose. Get treats. Repeat.

Calli the Wonderschnauzer cast long shadows as we head out for a walk late on a sunny afternoon. Photo taken in London, Ontario, Canada.
I hope she knows how much I enjoy getting out there with her.
For such a small dog, she casts a remarkably long shadow.

A miniature schnauzer looks back at her owner as they both cast long shadows down the street under the late evening sun. Photo taken in London, Ontario, Canada.
We all deserve to walk through life surrounded by people - and not-people - who will periodically stop dead in their tracks and just look at us.
A life well lived is a connected one, after all.
#ldnont #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog
I’m going to start something something new. Let’s call it #OneYearAgoToday, and we’ll keep it simple:
1 - Wander through your photo archives.
2 - Choose a pic from exactly one year ago.
3 - Share it.
We’ll start with #CalliTheWonderschnauzer.
Whatcha got?
#ldnont #actofdog
There will be days when all we want to do is curl up in our favourite spot, just like a puppy.
Today would be one of those days.
Be gentle with yourself.
Be gentle with others.
#ldnont #actofdog #callithewonderschnauzer
I’ll just keep staring deeply into your soul until you dig into your pocket and hand over those treats you promised me if I was a good girl.
#ldnont #callithewonderschnauzer #actofdog
As a matter of fact, no, I will not be sharing my spot on the couch.
We Schnauzers aren’t known much for sharing, but we’re pretty good at hovering pretty close when we sense you need us.
And now is one of those times, right?
