His favourite sentence is:
“Feed me!”

To be perfectly honest, unfortunately we rarely see him like this - this year his old age is very noticeable, he sleeps a lot, practically doesn't want to play anymore and we have to limit our walks because he is out of shape
This is his more current look..
She looks even younger, too bad she's no longer with us

Re: Hello everyone
Lovely to see pictures of Wawel
Older dogs do sleep a lot more but it is good for them to have some exercise every day and maybe try a treat challenge toy rather than a game to keep his brain active and have some fun. This is a link to the Nina Ottosson range which are very good but you can get other brands too:

Our dogs love to search out treats hidden in these or you can just use old paper kitchen roll tubes or egg cartons or empty yogurt cartons - any thing to hide a special treat such as a dried sprat or even just some of his kibble if he enjoys his regular food. You can also do a kibble trail in your garden just putting a few pieces around for Wawel to search for them. Even this can be fun for a mini schnauzer. Make sure not to over feed with treats or use some of his daily ration although Wawel does not look overweight in the photos so a little extra may not matter
This is a photo of our 11 year old mini, Magic, looking for treats in a challenge game toy. She has turned it upside down to check there is nothing underneath

Re: Hello everyone
If I was his age I'd probably do that too haha. The worst thing is that you have to watch him all the time - he lies in direct sunlight which can cause a stroke.zeta1454 wrote: ↑20 May 2021, 09:36 Older dogs do sleep a lot more but it is good for them to have some exercise every day and maybe try a treat challenge toy rather than a game to keep his brain active and have some fun.

Wawel is a dog which never liked to play, he is rather a couch potato - once I tried to play with him using the mentioned method with yoghurt - he was afraid of the sound it madezeta1454 wrote: ↑20 May 2021, 09:36 Our dogs love to search out treats hidden in these or you can just use old paper kitchen roll tubes or egg cartons or empty yogurt cartons - any thing to hide a special treat such as a dried sprat or even just some of his kibble if he enjoys his regular food.

He was also in critical condition after being bitten by a tick 3 or 4 times and despite using bayer drops, I am afraid to even venture into the backyard with him because we live near a forest. We only go for long walks on the pavement
