Meet Mundelay Wellington
Oh Yes! Our KUSA registration forms has arrived and Truffles is not just Truffles - he is dignified and all under that guise of cuteness!! MUNDELAY WELLINGTON with a pedigree of Sires and Dams, I tell you.
Dear Truffles were getting to look like a "Woolly Mammoth" (although he's really become lean) with his curly hair growing so long. So we had to take him and Lily to get groomed today. You wouldn't say it when you look at him now, but when he doesn't have his Schnauzer cut, he doesn't look much like one at all. For starters, the curly hair then the soft coat (not at all wiry like his sister's or other Scnhauzers) and it seems like he is really big for a miniature Schnauzer. We saw one the other day at the seaside, he was half the size of Truffles! I really do hope that he has stopped growing.
He is still enjoying his sister's company. Although, when she gets into his sleeping crate, he gets a bit grumpy - and she just loooves going in there and making herself comfortable! They run and play a lot and for inside dogs, they are pretty much outside most of the day! Our garden of course isn't any more, the little patch of grass is now non-existant and the rest of it is full of digging holes. As these two digs holes and then try and buries toys in it. Sometimes the toys just gets put into the hole - like the balls and kept there without closing the hole. But mostly it is just a fun pastime for these two!!
Well, here is my beautiful Truffles, all spiffy!
He is so gorgeous!!
Here the two of them trying their very best to impress with sitting and lying down and staying - all to get some treats!!
Our two dog - kids!!
They came from the parlour with bows - just after I told one lady that they don't put bows on our Schnauzers as bows are so beneath Schnauzers -hehehehehe!! That'll teach me! (Schnauzer-snob!)
However, the bows didn't last very long. Oh-wel.
Have a wonderful Spring, Truffles and Lily! - And of course the Southern Hemisphere!

Comparisons
You cannot ever really compare your children, as you expect them to be different in many ways: looks, temperament, personality, habits and more. This too can be said of our fur-children. There are no way they will be the same, and it is apparent after a week of Lily's stay that she and our Truffles have vast differences!
Firstly and most obvious is in their appearance. Like one does with pictures of your children and even yourself, baby pictures are compared to see resemblances in looks. And this is why these pictures are up. It is amazing how different and alike they are :)
There are quite a few other differences. Truffles had never been a whiner and certainly not a barker. On the other hand, his sister does both of those things and she has a voice on her. The other day we were so surprised when the kids came running into the room and Lily went of barking(she probably had a fright) the next moment Truffles starts barking with this booming voice I've never heard before! Just as well he doesn't use it often.
Truffles is a very gentle soul, very patient and, it seems, forgiving. He reacts on a reprimand instantly and stops what he is doing, while his sister have no fear of sound even that of a stern voice or a loud A-a-a-a! to make her stop.
Truffles is very loving and loves other dogs and people. I don't know yet about Lily, but she seems to take to new faces easily too. Truffles is my husbands shadow, and he loves to cuddle and heaps of attention. I don't think Lily would be much different on that front, as when we are all in one room and one of us leaves the room, she'll go off yelping for attention.
No matter what the differences is, we love them both dearly!
Until next time, remember: Love your doggies!

New sister!
Truffles is delighted at the arrival of his baby sister! He cannot wait to greet her in the mornings. He wants to play with her all the time. He is beside himself with all kids of emotions ranging from happiness to jealousy.
These pics are their first tug-o'-war playtime!
When you are done here, why don't you head on over to Lily's page to see her cute pictures?
Until next time, remember: Love your doggies!

Cute Truffles tricks
For this video, Truffles refused to lie down and roll over :( Don't know why. However, he is still super cute! Oh, and I forgot to put in: Leave it alone. :(
He is only eight months old and still a puppy - we sometimes forget that.
Enjoy!

Breaking houserules...
Well, one of the first houserules has just been slain!!
Do you know the rules? Well, then you should, because it seems like we have tread on the slippery slope...
The Schnauzer House Rules
• The Schnauzer is not allowed in the house.
• Okay, the Schnauzer is allowed in the house, but only in certain rooms.
• The Schnauzer is allowed in all rooms, but has to stay off the furniture.
• The Schnauzer can get on the old furniture only.
• Fine, the Schnauzer is allowed on all the furniture, but is not allowed to sleep with the humans in the bed.
• Okay, the Schnauzer is allowed on the bed, but only by invitation.
• The Schnauzer can sleep on the bed when ever he wants, but not under the covers.
• The Schnauzer can sleep under the covers by invitation only.
• The Schnauzer can sleep under the covers every night.
• Humans must ask permission to sleep under the covers with....... The Schnauzer.
http://www.schnauzers-rule.com
So, we have some rules too. No doggies in the bedroom or in the study. For some obvious reasons, the study is off limits due to the heavy traffic and a roaming office chair. I don't want any canine feeties to get crushed under those pestky little wheels!!
However, come one of the coldest and wettest days in winter in Cape Town, there is only two rooms with some warmth. The main bedroom and the study. Poor Truffles has been pining to get into a room with people in it and of course warmth.
So, I had to bend a rule. Ok, the Schnauzer is allowed in the study, only by invitation and on its allocated spot - he may or may not be constrained by a warm blankie when in there. :)
It was really funny exercise. Truffles walked in and had to be coaxed into getting on the blanket, however, he only wanted to get on with his front paws. We tried to entice him with his blue ball, but he would reach right over the blanket, with his hind legs stretching out behind him. Eventually we had to physically move him onto the blanket so that he knows it is ok. Once we covered him, he submitted and as they say, the rest, is history...
If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, keep warm and dry.
Untill next time : Love your doggies!!

Insult to injury
Seeing that it has began to get so cold here, we decided that some kind of clothing would be appropriate to warm up the little guy.
So yesterday we decided to dress Truffles in a fleece jacket we bough him that morning. Needless to say, he was not so happy about the situation. Although he slept with it on for a long time, he did not like at at all when moving around. And for the life of him could not relief himself with it on him! So, I had to take it off, but last night it was on again. It went better during the night with going potty.
Here are some pics I took of him- looking very unimpressed with me and that jacket.
BTW- he is healing nicely and has not really tried to take out his own stitches - however, we have already broken one houserule by letting him sleep in our room!! The reasoning behind it was that we would here if he started licking at the wounds in the night. He still sleeps in his 'crate', but now thinks it is ok to come into our room uninvited.
More soon - Remember to Love your doggies!
