Benny & Jerry are our 8th and 9th miniature schnauzers.

Today, I celebrate Rhepp, adopted as our 3rd mini, Dec 1999. He passed 11 years later, Dec 2010, at 13 years. A loving, sweet, quirky dog, remembered w/love & laughter.

A triptych of Jerry at the vet. Apparently, using only his eyes and a slight turn of his head, he's indicating something to the effect of, "hey! hey!! get me the hell outta here!!!"
