A day in the life of Bobbie and Bertie, caution lots of pics
We generally get up between 5 and 5.30 and after a cuppa we are ready to head out for our morning walk at 6.15.
We head over to the West Hill in the morning during the week as it's only 2 minutes down the road but there's still plenty of room to have a chase about.

As well as the neatly mown grass there's some rough areas where there's room for a bit of Schnauzer exploring.

Always time for a pose, even when you're busy on your morning walk, a girl likes to show off her elegance.

We're always meeting people on the hill, even at that early hour and Bobbie and Bertie like to check them out.

After the walk its back home for a bite to eat and settle down for the day. Despite the dog beds scattered throughout the house they know where they prefer to sit.

Bertie likes to make himself comfy on the sofa.

But Bobbie prefers to take herself up to bed.

That's it for the day then until Sharon gets home from work around 2.15 when everyone wakes up again. After a cup of tea it's off out for the afternoon constitutional. (I normally miss this but had an early finish today so could join them.)
It was off to Guestling Wood this afternoon to meet some friends.
There's Alfie the Bearded Collie.

And Florence the schnauzer/russsel cross.

Bobbie likes to admire the wild flowers.

Whilst Bertie likes to lead Alfie astray.

And here the intrepid explorers are returning from more investigation of the undergrowth.

Bertie's a great lover of sticks and is always pleased when he's found a goodun.
CQ9R6784 by Mike Jackson1, on Flickr
There's always time for a bit of rough and tumble with Florence but Alfie keeps out of the way because he's a bit frightened of Bertie. (Who is inclined to bully him it must be said.)

It's then home for dinner and sparko schnauzers all over the furniture.

A long lens and quick reactions. I can get my two to pose easily but Florence is very camera shy. Her owners rarely manage to get a decent shot with their bridge camera.

Re: A day in the life of Bobbie and Bertie, caution lots of
Yes it's a hard life being a mini schnauzer in our household. This morning I forced them to spend 1 1/2 hours in Brede High woods, after a short break I headed off to agility with Bertie and Bobbie went off with Sharon to visit Sharon's sister and her 2 russels.
Tomorrow it's a walk round Rye Bay Nature Reserve in the morning and both of them will come with me to agility in the afternoon. Bobbie will mostly watch as she's not as keen as Bertie and enjoys sitting on a chair at the side.

Here's a few from this morning. I got into trouble when I got home for getting them dirty.

Re: A day in the life of Bobbie and Bertie, caution lots of
This mornings walk was a cracker. We set off to grey skies and a threat of rain. When we got to Rye Bay Nature Reserve the sun had come out. To top it off the tide was out so we had a run on the sand. We met up with Florence again as we normally do at the weekends.

His breath stunk of fish all the way home. I thought I was going to be sick when he gave me a big kiss.
