Some synchronized Schnauzing from the girls on this National Schnauzer Day. Happy woods walk to one and all. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #nationalschnauzerday

Hey pals! We went to Lake Ontario beach today for a stroll now that the summer crowds are gone. Zina got soaked by a rogue wave. It was pretty funny. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #LakeOntario

We walked in the woods with our best friend, Mili, the standard poodle. We've been friends with Mili since we were both 5 months old. Now we have to drive 170 miles to see her, but that's what you do for a bestfriend. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #poodles, #bestfriendsforever

Walkies around our favorite pond yesterday. Cygnets almost all grown up now (upper left hand corner). Where did the summer go? #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

We're back! In the last six months, we bought a new house, commuted until we sold the old one, retired, and then lost our beloved grandfather. It's been a stressful time, but we've been keeping mom sane with our schnauzer shenanigans. Life with schnauzers: priceless. ❤️ #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky

We're loving our yard and all the woods walks just minutes from our new home. But we're absolutely smitten with the pond mom built in our garden. It has two fountains and frogs! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

We went for a long hike with our little friend Ginger yesterday. It is unusual to be around someone even smaller than we are! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #dachshunds

After 25 years (and five schnauzers) at this house, I'm retiring early and moving to a new home in a different city to help my elderly parents. The girls and I are eager to begin our new chapter, but we will miss our lovely yard and dog friends. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #springflowers

After receiving 135 inches of snow this year, we are SO excited to see the ice melting on our favorite pond and the return of the swan pair (seen in the background). Happy early/false spring! More snow is in the forecast for next weekend. Blech! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #sosickofwinter

Thankfully, the snow banks are finally beginning to melt here in NY and we are able to get out for longer walkies again. It's been a rough winter, pals! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Rosie and Zina wish one and all a very happy and healthy 2026! We spent New Year's Eve morning on a dark and stormy Lake Ontario beach. Over 20" of snow in Syracuse yesterday! #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky #NewYearsEve2026

A somewhat belated Merry Christmas to all our schnauzer pals near and far. Hope you got lots of love and treats today! We had an early sunrise walk on the beach and a later woods walk, but no snow to be found on this mild Christmas day. #schnauzergang #Schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #merrychristmas

Rosebug just got groomed and is feeling very pretty, while babybug, Zina, is overdue for grooming. (Hopefully tomorrow!) Thanks to her curly fur and lack of a waist, Zina currently looks and feels like a woolly bear caterpillar. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #dogswhohategrooming

And so it begins. We got a record 10 inches of snow yesterday. Thankfully, a lot has melted because unlike our friend, Gracie, we have short little legs. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #winterwonderlandwalks

We took the day off and went hiking at Fillmore Glen State Park. It was a lovely blue-sky fall day and the perfect weather for a long walkie. We met lots of dog pals, and of course, we got lots of treats, too! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #terriers #hiking #upstatenystateparks

Here's one for wont-look-Wednesday. Rosie reluctantly looks, but Zina hides behind the foxglove when she sees the camera. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #wontlookwednesday

Apparently, it's #forestfriday, so we thought we'd post a snap of us in one of our local woodlands with a lovely magenta #trillium from earlier in the season. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #dogs.

Pals! We had an exciting morning walk today. We saw a fox kit! (Well, actually we were distracted with treats, but mom saw it and said it was beautiful!) And then we saw a rainbow. What a magical morning walkie! #schnauzergang #foxkits #rainbows #morningwalkies

2 Dogs look down over a wooden fence. On the fence is the text; "time spent with dogs is never wasted" The text forms the silhouette of a sitting dog.

A double tongue-out Tuesday with some welcome spring color (forsythia from last year). Wishful thinking because we've still got quite a bit of snow on the ground here at the moment. #schnauzergang #schnauzers #tongueouttuesday #terriers #dogsofbluesky #nomoresnow!

We've had over 100 inches of snow this season, 90" since Jan. 1st. So today we're channeling thoughts of an early spring, like we had last year. Please, we need some sun and warmth to keep us sane! #schnauzergang #schnauzers #stopthesnowalready #earlyspring #bringontheflowers!
