Keto, the quietest schnauzer of all time , is rapidly becoming the center of family life in Florida, as he does elsewhere. For those who don't know him, let me tell you about Keto.
Keto is all black, not common for schnauzers, and I mean all black, including his nose and eyes so he is frequently mistaken for a scotch terrier which he sluffs off as unimportant. He knows he comes from show stock and when he walks down the street he does it with a prance as if he was in the show ring,
He's a dog of few words. Maybe a bark at the mail carrier or a stranger at the door. For those he loves a wiggly twisting jumping greeting that includes little whiny sounds.....definitely sounds of joy. In addition I get a lick on the tip of my nose; the only time he bestows that sign of affection.
He can be a little squirrally...jumping up out of the blue and running like the devil was after him. I think he still hasn't figured out what is happening when his hindquarters emit gas, I never said he was the brightest dog.
He loves to snuggle and he sleeps in my bed on his own special blanket that used to be a throw on the couch but he just declared it his and it goes where he goes. Consequently he is sound asleep on his blankie on my bed as I write this.
Our trip to Dayton and then Florida was his first road trip and with the aid of drugs from the vet he was fine, Never made a sound in the motel. He did not like the elevator and had to be held thru that ordeal,
Here at the house he loves being in the lanai but skirts carefully around the pool. Last night we took him with us to get a gelato treat (it was special dispensation for Patty's birthday) and that was another new experience for him.
Rich calls him "little man" which seems to fit his serious quiet nature. As usual he brings joy wherever he goes and having him with me was a smart idea.
