Good Bluesky turnout for South Coast Schnauzers today, Lyra's favourite part is always the biscuit handout at the start! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on her hind legs to take a biscuit from Dave, organiser of South Coast Schnauzer walks and pied piper of Schnauzers; a small crowd of them are following him explaining that they definitely haven't had a biscuit yet and it was just a very similar looking dog who took a biscuit from him 17 seconds ago

Oh, no, we forgot to get Lyra a cake to celebrate!

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on a sofa with one ear strangely rucked up, looking slightly grumpy that her humans haven't bought her a cake to celebrate Schnauzer Day

Happy Friday! Lyra hopes everyone is enjoying a lie-in as much as she is. #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra says "is it the weekend yet? Oh thank goodness" #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on a blanket on a bed with a very boop-able nose. She's had ever such a tiring week with lots of running around and is looking forward to a good lie-in. Her beard is frankly in a right old state and needs a good brush, but there'll be time for that later after a nice snooze.

The #TongueOutTuesday version of Lyra's ever so Polite Paw Presentation for Pupcake #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

After a lovely South Coast Schnauzer walk Lyra is very polite (with the right incentive): "please, sir, may I have some schnauzerfest pupcake?" #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer gently resting her paw on humum's hand, gazing adoringly at the pupcake generously provided by the South Coast Schnauzer walk organisers

🎵 Lazy Sunday afternoon, got no mind to worry...🎵 #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on a sofa having her tummy gently tickled. It's a tough life. She is quite probably, as the Small Faces sang, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.

"What's that? International ME Day? Finally, the recognition I deserve!" "International Dog Day, Lyra, all dogs, not just you" "... mostly me, though, right?" #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on a beach looking thoroughly delighted that finally an entire day is dedicated to her and her alone

It's quite exhausting, all this schnauzering, Lyra needs a little nap to recover #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

A breezy day on the beach resulted in a high degree of difficulty for Lyra's #TongueOutTuesday effort #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on a beach; either the wind is blowing her right ear and beard, or she used far too much hairspray before leaving the house. Her tongue is sticking out, curled up, just to really set off her quiet, dignified, completely normal look

This is thoroughly delightful. The Clangers’ guide to eclipses, made in 2015 for a partial eclipse. (and I presume, overseen by the wonderful Daniel Postgate, a kind and brilliant soul, so sadly missed.) www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/wat...

From around 1000 photos the judges had the hard task of choosing 110. We expanded the judging panel at 1 stage as almost impossibly difficult decisions had to be made. It was so tough! Thanks for submitting the most brilliant photos. Emails went out on Friday notifying all whose photos are in.

Happy Birthday to Lyra! Five years old today 🎂🥳

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer, standing in the woods with a big grin on her face (or possibly panting a bit because it's quite warm, and we're on our way home for a cooling bandana and a frosty paw). It's her fifth birthday, though she doesn't look a day over three and a half.

Back home after our holiday, Lyra is now looking forward to sleeping for a full week to recover from all the excitement like escaping this fiendish labyrinth #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

While we were at a history festival Lyra was boarding; she was so tired afterwards from playing with her friends she dozed off on the lawn after chasing her ball once... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Hope everyone is surviving the current heatwave. Lyra doesn't like the heat, but is also not a fan of the noisy air conditioner in the office where she is currently held captive (to avoid melting), so is hiding under the desk... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer sitting under a desk. I'm also sitting at the desk, Lyra is tucked under/alongside my legs and is looking up with a gaze that says "why are you holding me prisoner in this noisy (though admittedly cool) room, can't I go outside?", and my reply of "we briefly went outside for you to use the facilities and you needed an emergency frosty paw, it was so hot" is cutting very little mustard.

Lyra is also a fan of the radiator-standing-desk for monitoring the neighbourhood! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on her hind legs with her front legs resting on a radiator, looking out of a window. She is fully alert, ready to shout a loud warning if she detects an intruder. Or if there's a delivery to any house in a 500m radius. Or someone walks past on the other side of the road. Or a pigeon has the temerity to land on the lawn. Or some leaves are blown around by an unexpected breeze. You can't be too careful, you know.

It's a bit warm out there, Lyra hopes you're all staying hydrated #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing in the woods drinking water from a collapsible bowl. You can tell it's a hot day because she's actually drinking voluntarily, as opposed to being chased around by a human holding the bowl trying to encourage her to drink while Lyra turns her head away as if it was deadly poison rather than water (then finds some gribbly puddle to drink out of instead)

A fresh batch of frosty paws have just gone in the freezer, after the Quality Control Supervisor gave her blessing to the mixture! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer licking frosty paw mixture (yoghurt, banana, honey, peanut butter) out of a bowl. She's got it all over her beard and is going to complain vigorously when it gets all crispy and has to be brushed out, but it's worth it (probably)

Lyra is also a big fan of Frosty Paws, especially when an assistant holds it so she doesn't have to chase it around her bowl! (Don't tell her, but I sometimes have one myself after a walk) #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer splooting on the carpet, wearing a cooling bandana and licking a frozen yogurt treat. Keep cool out there, folks!

Lyra's not usually a fan of the water, but went on a heroic deep sea expedition the other day (i.e. paddled to ankle depth) #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky
