Some very important Q and A's!

These are questions from Fizzy that we are gonna answer for your edumacation!

1. How did you get to be at your forever home?

Well, Mommy and Mama wanted a very first doggie of their own, and they are both allergic to shedding dogs.  So after some research they decided on a schnauzer, and went and found a responsible breeder who would not dock the ears or tail, and found one in Prince Edward Island.  So they flew over and got Rudy, 7+ years ago. They loved Rudy so much, Mommy and Mama decided to get a little sister, Izzy, two years later!  Izzy is actually related to Rudy by bloodline, she is Rudy's niece!

2. Who named you and why did they pick that name?

Mama named Rudy cause she had her heart set on that name, regardless if we were going to get a boy or girl puppy.  Well we got a girl and named her Rudy!  Everyone said, "Rudy is a boy's name!" And then we reminded them about Rudy the girl from the Huxtables on The Cosby Show!

Mommy named Izzy cause it was Mommy's "turn", and the name just kind of popped in her head!  Her call name is Isabella, but we wanted to call her Izzy for short.  Plus, it's a cute and spunky name, just like her!

3. Do you like cheese?

Absolutely! Any kind, any time! But we don't get it often, on account of Rudy's chronic colitis.

4. What's your favorite human food?

Ooh, that would have to be baked pizza crust.  Again, it is a very special treat and we only get a little taste.

5. How do you let your pawrents know you have to go out and potty?

Rudy stands at the back door and woofs.  Izzy stands at the back door and waits to get noticed, which could be a long time!

6. Do you sleep in your people's beds?

YES!

7. Are you a snuggly pal, or would you rather get pets from far away?

We both like to snuggle, but Izzy much more so. She *loves* to be smothered with kisses and hugs.  Rudy only wants it for a minute or two.

8. Do you like to give kisses?

Rudy does! Izzy is much more conservative in that area!

9. What's the one thing you did that scared the poop out of your people?

Only one thing? Izzy escaped through the fence when she was just a pup and Mommy looked everywhere and nearly had a heart attack until she found me sniffing the flowers in the front yard!  Then there was the time that Izzy escaped out the front door and ran across the busy street when Mama answered the door.  It took a bunch of neighbours to try and corral her.  She was only a pup then too!

I don't think Rudy has caused any terrifying moments, other than healthwise.   Once she had colitis and got really dehydrated and we had to bring her to the e-vet on a Sunday to get an IV.  That was scary.

10. Who do you bark the most at?

Oh this one is easy!  Other dogs, mailpersons, delivery guys, wheels (skateboards, rollerblades, scooters, strollers, bicycles, wheelchairs - we are not fussy), crows/ravens, and for Izzy, especially CHILDREN (the smaller the worse they are).

Thanks for the great questions Fizzy!
