Pooped after a long day of digging the new garden. #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 Won't-look-Wednesday from two frigid #schnauzers on the great frozen plains of #CentralNewYork #dogsofbluesky #schnauzergang

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

Happy Solstice to one and all! May the peace and beauty of the season heal your soul and give you hope. Enjoy! Can you spot the #schnauzers on the beach? #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky, #wintersolstice, #lakeontario, #peace

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 had a lovely early morning woods walk. Just past peak color here in Upstate NY. Happy Sunday everyone! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #woodswalk

Look at the huge mushrooms we found on our woods walk yesterday, pals! #schnauzergang #woods #mushrooms

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

It seems we're late to the party, but here's our contribution to National Schnauzer Day! Rosie and Zina send their greetings!Hope you all had a lovely day, pals! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #nationalschnauzerday

We found the autumn crocuses! Still can't believe summer is over, pals. #Schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

#Schnauzer walkies on the beach. Where did the summer go?! #LakeOntario #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

I almost missed it, but here's my CURLED tongue-out-Tuesday entry, pals. And since it's almost Wednesday anyway, this can also count for #won'tlookwednesday! I really excel at that skill! #schnauzergang #tongueouttuesday #dogsofbluesky #terriers

A smiling Sunday Schnauzer to brighten your day! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

#Schnauzer sunrise walkies on the beach of Lake Ontario, clouded by Canadian wildfire smoke, but still quite lovely. #schnauzergang, #dogsofbluesky

Crimin. Woof woof

Schnauzers at work. What's in the hole?! An enormous groundhog. Much fun! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #workingdogs

Another classic #schnauzer #wont-look-Wednesday in the woods. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky

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.

Can you spot us amidst all the blooms? We were visiting Hubro this weekend. Much fun! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #wisteria #iris #victor,ny

Dogs vs. vegetables

Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #forgetmenotsgalore

It's tongue-out terrier Tuesday in the trillium! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #trillium #woods #walkies

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

Happy Easter and Happy Spring, pals! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #woodlandwaterfalls #Easter #Spring

A friendly boop from our sunrise walkies in the woods this morning. #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #schnauzers #woodlandspring #walkies

I turn 7 today! Zina and I are going hiking at Pratt's Falls today. For my birthday dinner, we're having salmon and sweet potatoes! Birthdays are the best, pals! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #birthdays #hiking #PrattsFalls #lifeisgood

Today's my 5th birthday, pals! My sister Rosie and I are going for a long hike in Highland Forest and there will be HAMBURGER for dinner! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #birthdaygirls #hiking

Spring has sprung--for the moment! Rosie in the crocuses and Zina in the snow drops. Snow in the forecast for the weekend! #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #springflowers

Hey pals! After receiving over 112 inches of snow this winter, we are SO HAPPY to see the arrival of spring flowers and CHIPMUNKS in our yard again! Game on! #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #terriertuesday #tongueouttuesday #happyschnauzers #SPRING!

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!

Lots of #schnauzergang birthdays today! Wishing all our #schnauzer pals a lovely day! Since it is throwback Thursday we thought we'd post gotcha-day photos of us. We were so small. #dogsofbluesky #gotchaday #goodgirls #terriers

#Woofday Compilation of Criminal Canines: Snack Stealers Edition! 🐶🍕😂

I see skies of grey And clouds of grey The grey blessed day The grey sacred night And I think to myself What a wonderful excuse to make another cup of tea and get cozy with my book.

TGIF! What a long and difficult week it's been. We're looking forward to new adventures in the snow. Happy weekend everyone! #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #suchgoodgirls!

Hiking in Highland Forest, NY. No trees (in the photo) but lots of snow! #Schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #HighlandForest #returnofrealwinter #letitsnow

It's minus 9 degrees (F) here. There will be no morning walkies and the girls are not happy. #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky

A smiling schnauzer selfie for tongue-out Tuesday! #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #tongueouttuesday

A bit late for today’s terrier Tuesday water theme, but here’s Zina at one of our favorite spots, Green Lakes State Park, back in the autumn #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofblusky #terriertuesday #lakes

"Dashing" through the heavy, wet snow with HUGE snowballs on our feet. #Unhappyschnauzers #schnauzergang #dogsofbluesky #schnauzers

From back when we used to have "real" winters. #schnauzergang #schnauzers #dogsofbluesky #terriertuesday #winterwonderland
