Lifestyle portraits of a pet--

If someone told you they had a hairy, bearded little lady staying at their house, it might freak you out a bit. All worries are set aside though, when you realize that the fur baby is actually a schnauzer. And luckily for Schnapps, beards are common on ladies of the schnauzer variety, so she doesn't get picked on too much for her facial hair. 

A few weeks back my friend and University of Houston co-worker Carolyn had to go out of town. Since I love dogs and she needed a place for Schnapps to stay, I volunteered to pet sit. I mean, how could anyone turn down this sweet face?

After surviving traffic, we got settled in at home. Schnapps decided the living room on a beach towel was the only safe zone and never ventured much further, other than to occasionally look around the corner to see where I went.

After Schnapps realized I'm a dog-lover and like to snuggle, she began to feel a little more comfortable and started playing a bit. We tried to play ball a bit, but I think she enjoyed chewing on the ball more than actually fetching.

All-in-all, it was a good weekend with my new furry friend.

After the initial shock of a whole new life (for a few days), Schnapps realized everything was going to be alright, so it was all fun and games, sunshine and blue skies after that.
