Meet the Girls

As every dog owner knows, one isn't enough!  I have two schnauzers, Mitzi and Liesl.  Mitzi, a dark salt and pepper, is four years old.  Liesl, a light salt and pepper, is a year and half old.  They are affectionately known as "The Girls."  Believe it or not, they are bi-lingual; I've taught them their commands in Italian.  On our daily walks, I speak to them in Italian.  I grew up in a home where both English and Italian were spoken.  My parents met and married in Italy, and both were multi-lingual.  They met Mitzi when I flew from Spokane, WA to DC for a family funeral.  Daddy was a dog lover.  He fell in love with Mitzi, and Mitzi loved him in return.  Every dog loved him!! 

In the last year, I lost both my parents and filed for divorce.  I've been fortunate to have my two sisters, many friends, and the Girls.  The Girls are wonderful therapy because they offer unconditional love.  A day doesn't go by when I laugh at something one or the other does.
