Izzy Schnauzer🐾

It’s my 4th birthday today! Mom gave me a bath, then we went to visit at an assisted living facility, came home and now she is trying to take a picture with this birthday hat on my head. I’m not cooperating! #4thbirthday #notcooperatingforpicture #birthdayhatonmyhead #dogsogbluesky #schnauzer

On our visit to Coupeville, WA, we saw many cute and creative Halloween decorations outside the stores in downtown. Izzy investigated them and was ok sitting by some of the decorations.🎃 #halloweendecorations #communityevent #schnauzerinvestigateshalloween #imnotscaredareyou #dogsofbluesky

Mom painted a pumpkin with a schnauzer on it. I supervised by sitting in my chair beside her. She mentioned that she should use pen or markers instead of a paint brush for details. I agreed.🎃 #beginningartistatwork #schnauzerpaintingonpumpkin #supervisorizzy #dogsofbluesky #schnauzer #halloween

Izzy is trying to take a nap, but she has to keep one eye on Mom to make sure I didn’t disappear! I quickly took her picture to catch the moment. Then she closed her eye and was sound asleep. #keepinganeyeonmom #dogsofbluesky

Deer alert! So many deer just walking about in the neighborhoods of Port Townsend, Fort Worden and Coupeville. They are tame and don’t seem to mind us. Izzy is being good and using her whispering voice! This is special seeing deer, we don’t have any at home. #deeralert #somanydeerroamingaround

Look what we found on our walk in downtown Port Townsend! Izzy is posing on a bronze sculpture, Salish Sea Circle, by the artist Gerald Tsutakawa. Gerald is also the artist who did “The Mitt” at Safeco field (TMobile). #porttowsend #bronzesculpture #artistgeraldtsutakawa #dogsofbluesky #schnauzer

Enjoying the good weather and walking on the beach at Port Townsend last week. Had fun in the sand! Good thing we were there when the tide was out. Went back a couple of days later and the beach was gone. #porttownsend #walkatthebeach #beautifulday #messyschnauzerbeard

Where is my Dad? Izzy is on watch because Dad disappeared and went inside the store. She is being very good and is not using her noisy schnauzer voice! The window is opened and she hears people, carts, cars going by. #schnauzeronwatch #whereismydad #dogsofbluesky

Izzy on schnauzer alert!🐾👀🐿️🐇🐎🦮🐈 #schnauzeralert #schnauzeronduty #whatcanisee #mymorningroutine

Izzy’s favorite routine after breakfast is to rest on her rug by the sliding door, soaking up the morning sun and watching the horses and birds in the pasture. #miniatureschnauzer #sunpuddling #watchinghorsesandbirds #favoriteroutine #dogsofbluesky

Nope, I’m not eating grass Mom! #miniatureschnauzer #iamnoteatinggrass #lookingguilty

I just missed this family of 5 raccoons. I told my mom I heard something outside just before my morning walk. Mom said she is glad I didn’t see them. She said I would have woken up the whole neighborhood! #schnauzers #miniatureschnauzer #dogsofbluesky #raccoons

Happy 250th 4th of July Independence Day! #happy250th4thofjuly #notafanoffireworks #celebratingindepenceday #dogsofbluesky #miniatureschnauzer

What are you doing, Dad? I can see you hiding behind that big moose!🫎 This is one of the many statues that we saw when we were visiting downtown Coeur d’Alene, ID. #izzyvisiting #watchoutforthemoose #downtowncoeurd’alene #miniatureschnauzermeetsmoose #dadshidingfromme #dogsofbluesky

Izzy wishes all the dads out there a Happy Father’s Day!♥️🐾 #HappyFathersDay #MiniatureSchnauzers #DogsofBlueSky

Happy St Patrick’s Day! Izzy bib say, Kiss Me I’m Irish!☘️ #happystpatrick’sday #dogsofbluesky #minischnauzer

Izzy is enjoying our first snow of the year! It unusual for us to have any snow in the middle of March! #funtimeinthesnow #schnauzerinsnow #snowinmarch

Just checking to see who and what that dog is doing! #mirrormirroronthewall #checkingmyselfinthemirror #lookingatthatschnauzer

Izzy says, “Happy Valentine’s Day to all her friends”!🩷🐾🩷 #happyvalentinesday #lovetoallmydogsofbluesky #schnauzergang #schnauzers

Izzy is ready to cheer for the Seahawks vs Rams! Woof woof, Go Hawks!💚💙💚🏈 #schnauzerforseahawks #gohawks #playoffsSeahawksVsRam

Izzy found the sunshine today! It was 28 degrees this morning on her walk but warmed up to 40 degrees. #burritscoldoutthere #enjoyingthesun #minischnauzerinthesun #pnw #weatherconditions

Two years ago, my human aunt gave this to my mom. I was trying to figure out who that dog was staring and sitting by me! #miniatureschnauzer #doglikeme #lookinginthemirror

Izzy wishes everyone a Happy New Year! She welcomes the new year, but says she is not a fan of loud fireworks! Izzy made some resolutions but may differ from what mom thinks! #happynewyear2026 #nofireworksforme #dogsofbluesky #miniatureschnauzers

Izzy wishes all her friends a Merry Christmas!🐾🎄

Waiting for Christmas!🎄🐾 #isitchristmasyet #waitingforchristmas #waitingforsanta #schnauzersittingundertree #onthegoodlist

A Christmas tree gone to the dogs! Most ornaments are schnauzers! Each year there seems to be more! I approve! #christmastreeornaments #schnauzerornaments #gonetothedogs

I’m surprised that Izzy didn’t wake up with all the noise we were making watching the Seahawks vs Rams game, 38-37 in overtime!💚💙💚 #seahawksvsrams #38-37winOT #noisymomanddad #sleepyschnauzernotinterested

Izzy is wondering what is happening! She is giving Dad the 👀 after he wrapped her in Christmas garland! #miniatureschnauzer #nogarlandforme #notatree🎄 #reallyDad

Izzy is on cat alert. She is standing up on her hind legs telling us that she spotted a cat. The cat moved up to a safe spot and is just cautiously watching Izzy! #schnauzeroncatalert #smartcat

Izzy is reminding you to set your clocks back! Love getting an extra hour today! #extrahour #turnbackclock #offdaylightsaving

Izzy says Happy Halloween to all of you! #dogsofshyblue #miniatureschnauzer #happyhalloween2025

Today is Izzy’s 3rd birthday! #dogsofbluesky #miniatureschnauzer #celebrating3rdbirthday

Izzy is having a conversation with Dad! #talkingschnauzer #dogsofbluesky

Izzy didn’t want to go near the ocean. She was apprehensive of the big waves coming towards her. She decided to shovel and flip the sand with her nose! I think she might have thought it was snow - that is what she does when it snows! #dogsofbluesky #miniatureschnauzer #notawaterdog #playinginthesand

Izzy posing in front of a 1931 Packard while we were camping last month in Seaside, OR. What a beauty! They happened to have an antique car show in town. This one was parked at our campsite. #1931Packard

#Catlovers. Look what I saw when I was walking at our campsite in Seaside OR. I had to go sniff them to see if they were real or not! Turns out I didn’t have to chase them! ~Izzy

Izzy gets an introduction to the barn hunt at the Portland Schnauzer Walk 2025. She says I smelled it, it’s not running, now what! #schnauzerwalk2025 #barnhunt

Izzy checking out the view of the ocean and beach! #schnauzerwatch #canonbeachoregon #whatshappening

Izzy is patiently waiting for some ice cream to come her way! Silly Mom and Dad drove from Seaside to Tillamook just to have ice cream! They gave me a bite, now I know why!🍦🍨 #favoriteicecream #tillamookicecreamery #beautifulseptemberday

Izzy visiting Seaside Oregon and doing a photo shoot in front of a notable landmark on a beautiful day in September! #ministureschnauzer #seasideoregon #photoshoot

On Izzy’s daily walk, a cat jumps up on the bulkhead and was going to hide underneath the tree, but Izzy was right behind him and the cat ran across the road and hid in the brushes. Izzy is looking 👀 for that cat! 🐈 Where did it go? #schnauzergang #lookingforacat #isawacatrunningaway

On Izzy’s daily walk, she spotted a cat resting in the grass. She wanted to get closer and play with him. She tried to get the cat’s attention, but her noisy schnauzer greeting scared him off! Watch Izzy’s tail wag a mile a minute! #spottedacat #caniplaywithyou #noisyschnauzer #scaredthecataway

Izzy is all snuggled up by Dad using him as her pillow! Aw, so comfy! #snuggledbesidedad #nicepillow #raretimeonbed #socomfy

Izzy got a little wet on her walk this morning. She was drenched by the time we got home! She had to keep checking to make sure I was following her! She doesn’t mind the rain and loves walking in the puddles! #MiniatureSchnauzer #dogsofbluesky #drencheddog #raincoatweather #rainneededthissummer

Just wiping my beard and having a conversation with Mom! #dogsofbluesky #schnauzergang #minischnauzer #talkingtomom #fixingmyschnauzerbeard

Izzy greeting the ponies on her morning walk. She waits for ponies to get close, but not too close. She has to check to make sure I’m near. Then she is ready to continue her walk! #miniatureschnauzer #ponies #morrningwalk #greetings
