Category: Enzo’s Mid Day Schnauz

There has not been much squirrel activity in the yard this morning, but Enzo has been keeping a keen eye on the birds in the trees. He can’t seem to jump high enough to catch them, but keeps practicing.  Inside the house there is a fly that is driving him crazy. It is evading him also. Now he is frustratingly laying at my feet until I have time to break away from the computer and help him catch it. 

This morning Enzo wanted his picture taken next to one of his favorite fire hydrants here in Anacortes.

Here is a picture of us in the car. We were headed out of town on highway 20 and Enzo must have picked up on my annoyance of being stuck behind two cars going the same speed in both lanes. 

Well, it’s back to the grindstone and Enzo is not thrilled with lack of entertainment today. Just staring out the window and enjoying the intermittent sun.

Enzo has continued to take it easy, but the lack of action and adventure is starting to make him stir crazy. He is thinking that he might want to join the Circus, part-time of course, and learn some new tricks. 

Enzo is doing a lot better. You can see that he is still trying to stay off his paw, but that is not keeping him from keeping an eye on the yard. What a dog! No vermin are going to sneak in without us knowing.

We all appreciate the nice emails that were sent to Enzo with concern for his leg. Yesterday the Veterinarian checked him out and took an x-ray. It turns out that he sprained his wrist and should be good as new within two weeks. Even today his limp is better, but he is going to have to take it easy for a while. No extreme stunts or squirrel chasing. This morning he is watching “Chicken Run” in between his naps.

I don’t know what happened, but Enzo developed a limp this morning and now can not even stand on his front right paw. We were able to get an appointment at the Vet this afternoon and are just tying to keep him comfortable until then. 

Enzo was suffering from his typical Monday blueness, so I thought why don’t we go outside, chase some flies and get his mind on a positive track. Instead of lifting his spirits it just made him annoyed with me. Oh well, I am sure things will turn around after some lunch.

I don’t know if it is the weather or something else, but Enzo is acting like it is Monday today. The poor little guy is just laying around and looking sad. Good thing the forecast is calling for some sunshine next week.
