Trails & tripulations: Settling in

Today we had an early start. Mainly because my cousin Lexi and I were having an early-morning conversation - I was in my bedroom downstairs, and she was in her bedroom upstairs. But it was easy enough to talk to each other, we just barked really loudly!

So we all went for a nice early walk along the river.



I love palm trees at dawn!



We met lots of other puppies. Here's my new friend, Bobby.



When Bobby arrived, there were four Schnauzers walking together, so we were all in charge!

Unfortunately, when there are that many Schnauzers together, we mill around like short, furry, unstripey zebras, and cameras can't focus properly, so we don't have any pictures of us all together. It's just as well, really, as the collective beauty and handsomeness might break the internet.

My cousin Lexi and I are becoming good friends. This morning we were sharing toys. I would go pick a toy from the pile, then she would rush up and take it away from me, and add it to her own pile of toys. And whenever my human went to pat me, Lexi would make sure she was there to get pats too. Actually, Lexi reminds me a lot of my cousin Oliver, in Melbourne.

She's also a bit of a camera hog.



In some ways she's more like Oliver than Oliver is.

She's also very elegant and sophisticated, just like my friend Honey.



I know Lexi and I are going to become great friends!
