We might try the one next week, if the weather holds!

Looking suave, Hugo!

Lyra was looking a bit scraggly with all the wet weather recently, good thing she had a groom booked in! #SchnazuerGang #DogsOfBlueSky

We do love a bit of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (well, I do, Lyra seems largely indifferent...) I'm the Urban Spaceman, The Intro and the Outro, and Mr Apollo are some other favourites 😀

You look magnificent Hugo 👍

#ThrowbackThursday to training class a few years ago, with Lyra saying "excuse me, I couldn't help but notice... might that be a treat in your hand?" #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

We're huge Detectorists fans as well, looking forward to Small Prophets when we get the chance (we're also watching quite a lot of curling at the moment...) #SchnauzersForDetectorists

Thank you, just a shame we haven't seen much of it recently!

Such a lovely day! And now back to huddling under a blanket on the sofa while it rains.

Thanks Siggy! We might mention it now and again, but not often enough according to Lyra.

Thanks Tommy, you looked very dashing as a Princely Purple Petunia Poodle, I'm sure it would suit you 🟣🐾

Finally, a bit of sunshine! (Though more rain forecast tomorrow.) Lyra made the most of it with a nice long walk. #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

BATH DAY?? OH NO!!! 🛁🚫

Oh, wait, you said birthday, as you were! Have the best day, Hugo!

Happy #TongueOutTuesday from Lyra! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra found a little patch at Hatchlands for #NationalSnowdropDay #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra is also a scrambled egg fan - she gets some for breakfast on Doggy Daycare days and practically licks through the bowl after finishing it, just in case there's a fragment she missed!

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer (wearing a fetching purple bandana) and six of her colleagues surrounding a person who just gave a treat to their own dog wondering if perhaps there might be a spare treat on offer...

A small crowd gathered at the weekend's #schnauzerfest walk after rumours that a packet of treats had been seen... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Logs and a squirrel, best adventure ever! (Since the last one)

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on one of her many beds, tucked under a blanket, looking very cosy; she is eyeing the camera skeptically in case the human has some foolish notion about her moving or something equally ridiculous.

Lyra says she's perfectly happy under her blanket, thank you, and will not be emerging for the foreseeable future (unless there are treats in offer) #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

We thought we recognised those flying ears!

That was a splendid chat and the final nudge I needed to actually buy it (been meaning to for ages as it sounds excellent, but you know how it is with "to read" lists!)

Lovely afternoon for a #schnauzerfest walk! Bit muddy so there's a bath on the cards, but worth it. #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

You look about as chuffed as Lyra when she gets dragged out in the rain, Hugo!

Sitting at a table with no food? Outrageous!

Black mini schnauzer poking his head through the triangular gap created by a seated man crossing one leg on top of another. Schnauzer was hoping for a treat (why sit at table if not eating?) but alas, we were just sitting and talking.

Likewise, Milou hated it when we were sitting at the dinner table and not sharing any tidbits with him.

The view of a person sitting at a desk looking down at a small black slightly scruffy schnauzer puppy who is a bit bored, and tugging the person's shirt to get their attention

#ThrowbackThursday to four years ago, when Lyra decided sitting under the desk quietly while I was working was a bit boring... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Gosh, don't you look spiffy after your spa day! Good job there's no rain due, so no danger of washing it all away in a muddy puddle...

... oh, wait a minute, I'm just being passed a weather forecast...
