Pet Parade

So remember that little schnauzer of mine? It’s been 3 years now since I’ve gotten Eddie.  I can’t believe how time flies!  IT seems like I just brought him home and I miss how tiny he was…..

Well Eddie is quite a ham if I do say so myself.  He has more toys then he knows what to do with.  My mom keeps saying “Not another toy until some of his rip.”  Can someone explain to me why she ends up buying him something practically every time we go out (haha)

Aside from the toys (he is currently attached to his sock monkey) Of course last week it was the bunny squeak toy.  Eddie is quite smart and no I’m not just saying that because he’s my dog.  Thanks to my mom he knows various tricks: sit, stay, come, down, over, belly (he will get on his back for you to rub his stomach) high five, paw, dance, and knows to find several of his toys by name.  If it weren’t for my mom and her patience poor Eddie would be quite uneducated.  I certainly would not have been able to teach him all that he knows.

Eddie also LOVES his picture taken.  Every time we get the camera out he manages to sneak himself into practically every photo we take.  It’s kind of funny because sometimes when we look back at pictures we will be like “Hey what’s that little black thing over there….Oh Eddie…again…”

One thing I’d like to share is the annual Pet Parade we enter Eddie in for Halloween.  Every Halloween Petsmart hosts a contest for dogs.  So far Eddie has been participating for three years. (He hasn’t one yet but we’re shooting for this year!)  He has been a prisoner, lobster, and jockey all of which can be seen below. In addition he has had his picture taken with Santa too.  He absolutely HATES getting dressed up but I love shopping for cute little costumes for him.  It’s really fun.  I’m thinking of making him a home made costume this year.  I’ll see how creative I can get..hmmm oh the possibilities!
