We are joining Arty, Jakey, Rosy and Sunny of the LLB Gang with much thanks for hosting Nature Friday.
Xena: Since the weather has gotten a bit colder Mommy insists I wear my jammies at night and my hoodie on our walks. Now, while I would like to honor my Angel Piper – it was his hoodie — I would much rather not wear it. Why, you ask. Because Angel Lexi taught me that clothes are like a punishment and now I. Hate. Clothes. Sure, I used to wear them and look pretty darned cute when I was a puppy. But I’m a big girl now (I’m 3 whole years old) and I am just fine without them thank you very much. Anyhoo, this is what happened when Mommy first put the R2D2 hoodie on me.


This is simply un-nature-all. I’m not going anywhere looking like this.
Moments later…
Hey Lucy, bet I can walk faster than you.

Lucy: You’re not walking, you’re trotting like you always do, Xena.
Xena: Haven’t you heard, Lucy? Trot is the new walk, BOL! Besides, when was the last time you actually saw me walk? My new motto: Why walk when you can trot?
Lucy: We’re supposed to be posting about nature, not racing.

Xena: Here’s some nature on the road – it’s called leaves. Dead leaves. Maybe we should look some more. I’m not done trotting.
Lucy: OK Xena, whatever you want, Miss Trot-about.

Lucy: Umm, there’s a lot of leaves over there. And some sun, too. I think that counts.
Xena: Rrrrr. Why am I having to pull so hard to trot?
Lucy: Mom’s yelling at you to “Heel,” and to “Walk with me!”
Xena: *grunt* This trotting fast is hard work when no one cooperates. Uh, did you or Mommy say something, Lucy?
Lucy and Xena the Trotting Schnauzer Warrior Princess wishing you a happy and natural weekend.

Xena, Wearing clothes is the absolute worst! I take them off of me and my sisters alrhough I will say you look really cute in your hoodie. Do you give trot lessons, we mainly gallop around here. ~ Belle Pup

I gallop chasing Lucy, but yes, I think if Angel Lexi could help give ballroom dancing lessons, I certainly could give trotting lessons. Let’s see. First your right front leg moves forward a the same time as your back left leg, then, um, then just the opposite. Wait, I don’t mean go backwards. Hmm. I’ll have to think about this. XOX Xena

Sophie feels your pain. She has been wearing a shirt to protect the stitches from her emergency surgery two Mondays ago. The stitches will be out on Monday morning and she will be back to normal(whatever that is)

I do believe a couple of those leaves came from my neighbor’s tree. I sent them along so they must have traveled onward to Tennessee. Your hoodie looks comfy and you look pretty cute Xena. On chilly days, it’s probably a good idea to wear something like that.
Your fur-iends,

We wear clothes sometimes for photos, but never at night or on walks. Our furs keep us warm. Hope you can work out a solution for that with your mom. Olivia and I enjoy dragging our mom on our walks. We know she enjoys it too. Keep that pep in our paw steps.

I hate wearing clothes. I only have one, a winter coat, that Mom rarely makes me wear, cuz she knows how much I hate dress-up. I make her Photoshop clothes on me instead of making me wear dem.
