“Oh, I know him.”
A walk around the neighborhood is rarely just a walk when you have a Schnauzer.
There are certain houses where the pace slows down. Certain yards that require a little extra investigation. And certain people who apparently cannot be passed without stopping to say hello.
This looks like one of those people.
She may be holding the leash, but there doesn't seem to be much question about who decided they were stopping.
And judging by that little nose reaching toward an outstretched hand, this isn't exactly a formal introduction.
It's one of the nicest things about walking the same neighborhood again and again. Somewhere along the way, your Schnauzer starts building a social life of his own.
People know his name. He remembers who gives the best scratches. And a quick walk around the block can take considerably longer than expected.
Because sometimes you have to stop and say hello to an old friend.
Does your Schnauzer have favorite people in the neighborhood?
