Hi this is Mike the Miniature Schnauzer. I figured after you read about my humans holiday travel misadventures (see posts A Christmas and A New Years Miracle? (Part I) and A Christmas and a New Years Miracle? (Part II)) you were probably wondering what I’ve been up, especially during the time they were away for an extended period of time trapped on the East Coast of the U.S.
Well I spent my Christmas at “Dog Camp” the house I stay at where they only let dogs my size stay for overnights or for daycare. I got lots of friends there who regularly come during the day for doggy daycare as well as those whose humans keep going on ridiculous trips like my humans.
It was my first time since I got adopted in 2014 by Tierney that I was away from her at Christmas time. But I did okay as miniature schnauzers do not generally keep track of holidays!
At Dog Camp we play ball all day long (and I love playing ball!). Here I am with my friends playing endless ball:
Endless ball makes you tired after a while so there is also a lot of napping at Dog Camp – there is a cozy cushion for every dog. Here I am relaxing with one of my friends:
Since it was the Christmas holiday, the people who run Dog Camp did make me pose for a silly holiday photo which they sent to my humans:
As much fun as I have at Dog Camp, I still was so happy to be reunited with my humans when they finally picked me up from camp. So much so that I am trying to be near them at all times. Here I am snuggling with my female human while she tries to read a book this past weekend:
My humans felt bad for being away from me so long and this past weekend they took me everywhere with them. They even took me in my backpack to the mall so my male human could get some additional winter clothing. Here I am at a department store “hanging around” while my male human tries on clothing over his existing clothing (no worries it was a top not pants – ha!).
Bet you didn’t know those racks at department stores can also hold miniature schnauzers!

Maybe Mike you could get in touch with the rack manufacturers and show them how well their racks can be for backpacks with luggage (you) 🙂

Mike, I’m sure your human was so excited to see you when she picked you up from camp and even more thrilled that you were filled with snuggles just waiting to be given to her.

That dog bed at your dog care looks very cosy, but I am sure you prefer snuggling into Tierney’s quilt!

Mike says thanks for stopping by and that he loves curling up in that bed; but you are correct, not as much as he does with his humans!

hey fellow bloggers
re schnauzers are known for their adaptability and social nature. It’s great to hear that Mike had a fun time at Dog Camp and got to spend quality time with his furry friends. It’s also comforting to know that there are safe and enjoyable options for our pets when we need to be away from them for an extended period of time. Thanks for sharing Mike’s experience with us!
