It's a beautiful thing
Most Schnauzer owners have experienced this.
You stand up and walk into another room.
A few seconds later, so does your Schnauzer.
At first, you don't really notice it.
You get up from the couch and head toward the kitchen.
A few seconds later, there's a Schnauzer in the kitchen.
You walk down the hallway to grab something from another room.
Before long, there are little footsteps behind you.
You stop.
The Schnauzer stops.
You start moving again.
So does the Schnauzer.
It's not always obvious.
Sometimes they're a few feet behind.
Sometimes they're waiting just outside the room.
Sometimes they're lying in the doorway where they can keep an eye on everything.
And somehow they always seem to know where you're going next.
The funny thing is that they usually don't want anything.
They aren't asking for food.
They don't need to go outside.
They aren't looking for a toy.
They just want to be wherever you are.
Room after room.
Day after day.
Like a tiny whiskered shadow that quietly follows you through life.
Most Schnauzers don't want to be in the same room as you.
They want to be wherever you're going next.
Many dogs enjoy being around their people.
But Schnauzers seem to turn it into a full-time job.
And if you've ever looked over your shoulder and found the same little face following you for the fifth time that day, you already know exactly what I'm talking about.
Does your Schnauzer follow you from room to room?
