Holidays - and JD & Max's 'Bootie-licious' Competition!!

JD - Hello everyone - phew, it's been a hectic few weeks in our household recently - we apologise for being a bit tardy on visiting your blogs.

Max - We're going to make sure we do the rounds tonight! We've been pre-occupied as male and female human have been really busy at work....

JD and Max carry out 'the drape' maneouvre in an attemot to persuade female human NOT to go to work....

JD - ....plus we've been to stay at the kennels a couple of times because the humans keep on going to a place called 'London' that we're not allowed to go, to watch something called a 'concert' at a big building called the 'O2' - we hear this 'O2' place is even bigger than our local pet store - wow, it must be HUGE!!

Max - We don't mind the kennels - we get a bit spoilt by the gorgeous kennel girls when we're there as they can't resist our fluffy tails and bushy eyebrows, so we're quite happy about that!
Align Centre
JD - Which is just as well really, as our humans are off to yet another place that we're not allowed to go to next week - it's called 'Egypt'....

Max - ....so we're going to be in the kennels for just over a week. We're not sure where this 'Egypt' place is or why we're not allowed to go with the humans, but we hope they bring us some good presents back!


JD - Whilst we're in the kennels our humans are going to be looked after by Bertie, the tiny plush schnauzer they got to replace us when they visit places that we can't go to.


Bertie looks out over the O2 Dome - shame that at this angle it also has a huge pylon in the middle of it....!

Max - So, although we're obviously not going to be able to blog for a while watch this space for pictures of Bertie in Egypt, he he he!!

JD - Now, since we're having some 'down-time' we thought it would be the ideal point to have a competition!


Max - This is the very first competition that we've hosted - we're pretty excited!


JD - We recently posted a 'wordless Wednesday' in homage of our handsome
bloggie pal Groucho - and as a result of the fun comments that were left for us we have decided to launch our very own 'bootie-licious' competition!

Shake your tail-feather everypup (or kittie!)

Max - We have drafted in the help of our great pals
Nellie & Calvert from NY and the 'ear-resistible' Santa & Minnie from KL - as well as the 'splorin' wolfies, Guinness and Saige and Groucho!!

Calvert and Nellie are ready to scrutinise all entries!

JD - So - this is what you need to do! To enter our 'bootie-licious' competition please send us your favourite 'tooshie' shot! You can post it on your blog and leave a comment for us to direct us to it, or send it directly to us via e-mail by using the 'contact us' button on the top navigation bar of our blog.

Santa and Minnie are here to lend their support!

Max - There are three categories for you to enter - you can enter one category, two categories or all three! First off is the 'Fluffy-butt!' category to show off all those gloriously fluffy posteriors out there!

JD - Next we have the 'Tail-Placement' category to show off how we all use our tails for different purposes - show us how you flirt with your tail, how you play with your tail - or even how you spell out your name with your tail like
Groucho here - he he he!


Max - And finally we have the 'Bottoms Up!' category - please send us your funniest butt-shot! We all know how carried away the humans can get with those flashy boxes so we're sure there are a lot of very funny bottom shots out there for us to all have a giggle at!


JD - Those are the categories - we DO hope you enter!
Max - Our human has even made us a competition link button - you see, humans CAN be quite useful at times, he he he! JD - Here it is....



JD - ....please copy the html code onto your blog page for a direct link to this competition!

Max - The closing date for this competition is Monday, 23rd November, after which we will then open the competition up to a public vote! This will be when
Santa & Minnie and Nellie & Calvert will be stepping in! They have agreed to help everyone with their voting by writing a short commentary on each photo - this is going to be so much fun!

JD - Obviously, to give our friends a chance to pen some witty and insightful comments the voting won't until one week after the closing date - 30th November - and voting will be open for one week.

Max - When the competition is over we will announce the winners - and to make it really exciting
Guinness, Saige and Groucho will say a few words about each of the winners!! We'd like to thank our pals SO much for agreeing to help with this competition - because of their help we think this will be a truly 'international event' - he he he!!


Saige, Guinness and Groucho - who inspired this competition - will be commentating on the three winners - it's very exciting!

JD - So - without further ado - let the competition commence!


Max - Good luck! Don't forget - we're on our holidays now for a couple of weeks, so please enter whilst we're away as it'll give us something really fun to look forward to upon our return! We'll see you all in a couple of weeks time.....!

Wordless Wednesday - (the art critic!)

Tummy Tickle Tuesday - Artistic Licence!

JD - I feel that Max has been hogging the 'Tummy Tickle Tuesday' of late so I thought it was about time I posted my own! Here is a photo of me, just chillin' on the sofa. BUT I have 'assumed the position' in case any humans perchance happen to wander by - a pup needs to be alert to all opportunities you know!

Max - Wise words JD!

JD - But have you noticed how artistic I am? Sure, 'the bunny' is the accepted universal pose for the tummy tickle, but I like to mix it up a little - to add a little uniqueness to the setting! You see how I am pointing theatrically at the ceiling, whilst still keeping one paw bent at a cute yet jaunty angle to ensure the humans (who - as we all know - aren't the brightest of species!) will realise exactly what is required of them!!

Max - Very stylish bro - you're raising the bar!

JD - Aw shucks, thanks Max!

Mirror-Image Monday!

JD - Hi everyone - we haven't 'Mirror Image Monday'-ed for ages so we thought it would be nice to get back to it.

Max - We usually compare ourselves with other doggies but for 'one day only' (he he he!) we wanted to show you some photos of us mirroring each other instead....

Photo 1 - Schnauzer foot-warmers!


Photo 2 - back to back!


Photo 3 - put your heads together!


Photo 4 - we're two Schnauzers - with a mere two ears between us, it would appear, he he he! We're very close brothers....!


Photo 5 - The perfect 'V' formation!


Photo 6 - an advanced mirror image maneouvre - dual-layering - sofa so good, he he he!


JD - Whilst we're on the subject of mirroring we would like to point out that we DO have one major difference between the two of us and that is - I can't seem to stop growing, he he he!

Max - Lot's of our pals think I'm rather short for a Schnauzer - humph! I'm actually rather tall! Miniature Schnauzers are typically 14 to 16 inches high and I'm 16 inches tall - oh yeah!

JD - But I'm still trying to fulfill my dream of becoming a Giant Schnauzer and I'm now a towering 18.5 inches tall - get IN!

Max - Female human measured us the other day becuase when she was scratching JD behind the ears whilst we were all out on a walk....

JD - Mmmm, it was nice!

Max - ...er, quite JD! But female human suddenly realised that she hadn't needed to bend down to do this, so realised that JD had grown YET AGAIN!!

JD - Indeed! As you can see from the photo below I have spectacularly long legs compared to you - ha!


Max - So we throw the 'mirror image Monday' challenge out to other tall Schnauzers out there! Please let us know how tall you are - are any of you as tall - or taller (gasp!) - than my 'big bro' JD'?! We'd love to know!
