Miniture Schnauzer Puppy Pictures - Our dog Lola as a puppy

 Some people think it would be nice to rescue an animal, and that is certainly a noble act.  What they may not realize is that the animal turns out to be the one rescuing them!

Who rescued whom?

Typical Schnauzer puppy, with the hind legs spread out.


We has just lost our 22 year old cat, so Lola came when we most needed her.  The enthusiasm and energy of a puppy was just what we needed to get outside and get a little exercise.








Miniature schnauzers have lot's of energy, but they get tired faster than some of the typical larger breeds.  She like to take short breaks before continuing to run around like a maniac.

The long hair needs to be brushed frequently if thee is any dry plants or bugs around, but she's still cute even with the fur all messed up.










Lola at 3 months, lovable look
Still not sure if I can trust anyone yet.

 Schnauzers are usually very suspicious of strangers.  Although she felt right at home, it took several months before she felt she could trust us.

This dish looks like it would make a nice bed.



It's nice to look at old pictures now that she is full grown.  Lola the miniature schnauzer was born on April 1, 2008, and came to our home at 3 months old.

Math in Your Head

I often find myself doing math in my head, and people are shocked and amazed that I can quickly come up with an answer without using a calculator.  I should probably be the one who is shocked that so few people can do simple math in their heads.  Then again, someone who does high level mathematics is not necessarily good at arithmetic. I suppose the logic comes easy for a programmer, but the trick to solving complex problems is to break them down into simpler operations. Multiplication Multiplication is really addition, multiple times. 10 x 3 = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 One common problem is percentages. Percentage Percentage is really a division or multiplication problem, depending on how you look at it. What is 20 percent of 120? There are several ways to approach such problems, and I don't always use the same method. Method 1 Sometimes it is easier to break things up into 10's 100's or multiples of 2. 120 = 100 + 20 So work on each portion separately...

Foxtails are Dangerous to Dogs

Foxtails, and similar plants have no place in a community where dogs are present! Having grown up on the east coast, I had never heard of the plants commonly referred to as foxtails.  When I first saw these beautiful plants in our new townhouse community, I thought they looked nice, although they do tend to get overgrown fairly quickly. Nice Colored Plants, but Dangerous for Pets! My Dog's Experience with Foxtails Maybe these are not technically considered foxtail weeds that grow in the wild, but when my dog got one of the spikelets caught in her nose, she started sneezing uncontrollably for hours.  We didn't realize what it was at first, and thought it would clear up on it's own, but when she kept sneezing, we thought it best to take her to the vet.  It's a good thing we did, because we later found out how dangerous these barbs can be.  She had to have anesthesia in order to have it removed.  We were fortunate that it did not get any further into h...

Trader Joes is My New Favorite Grocery Store

Trader Joe's has long been my favorite grocery store because of healtier choices, and better prices, but I recently found more reasons to love them. I was on a special diet for one week to test for food sensitivity and allergies.  I was pleasantly surprised to find almost everything I needed at Trader Joe's.  I walked out with two big bags of groceries for around $40.00. But it gets better... Good News about Non-GMO As I was testing different foods, I was concerned about genetically engineered food sources, also known as GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), so I went to the Trader Joe's website to ask about their products.  Here is their reply: Scott, Thank you for your email. Our approach to Genetically Modified Organisms is simple: we do not allow GMO ingredients in our private label products (anything with Trader Joe's, Jose's, Ming's, etc. on the label). When developing products containing ingredients likely to come from genetically modifie...
