Unfortunately we've just come back from another trip to the vet, she improved on Sunday but hasn't eaten since yesterday so some more anti sickness and pain meds to hopefully help with that. Poor little thing 😢

Nice certificate! If it's the *Feast* of St Francis that definitely means food, right? Lyra's thinking at least a couple of sausages, any less wouldn't be a feast...

Our weekend away didn't quite go to plan, Lyra developed some serious gastric issues. Thankfully we found a local vet and 24 hours with them sorted her out. Maybe we'll get to the beach next time!

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on a blanket on a sofa, her front left paw bandaged from where she's had IV fluids. She's looking a little sorry for herself and hoping for maximum sympathy while having some nice plain white fish and chicken for the next few days.

Snap! All that socialising is so tiring...

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

Coming back is definitely a treat situation, and if it was less than five minutes after being asked Lyra considers that a *two* treat situation 😆

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.

Ooh, we'll have to find an outfit for Lyra 👻 They've just announced it'll be on Saturday, Halloween itself, paws crossed for nice weather!

121

Mike Moore @zosoz.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Oh no! There's one on September 27th, but we might build up to the Halloween Spectacular (they were deciding whether it would be a Sunday as usual, or on the Saturday for Halloween itself. Spooky!)

Mike Moore @zosoz.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

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

🎵 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.

Mike Moore @zosoz.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Huh, or possibly not... Just checked and we didn't actually submit any beach shots this year. It's almost like lots of black Schnauzers look slightly similar! They did say a photo had been accepted, but I can't spot her in the preview...

No dogs allowed in the house itself unfortunately 😞We were just on the grounds today, we've been on a tour before without Lyra ( westhorsleyplace.org/whats-on/fil... ) which was very good.

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

🤣 Lyra says she was named after the constellation, because she is a beautiful star who brightens the lives of all she shines upon (we told her it was from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, but she wasn't having it)

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.

Mike Moore @zosoz.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Lyra fully endorses the homemade frosty paw. Various combinations of strawberry, banana and peanut butter, with just a dash of honey to sweeten, all go down very well. (Also I'm quite partial to one myself after a hot walk 😀)
