Happy Birthday to Lyra! Five years old today 🎂🥳

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer, standing in the woods with a big grin on her face (or possibly panting a bit because it's quite warm, and we're on our way home for a cooling bandana and a frosty paw). It's her fifth birthday, though she doesn't look a day over three and a half.

Lyra says Sundays are for taking it easy... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBlueSky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on her back, (mostly) on her blanket on a sofa, looking very relaxed.

Lyra fully endorses the homemade frosty paw. Various combinations of strawberry, banana and peanut butter, with just a dash of honey to sweeten, all go down very well. (Also I'm quite partial to one myself after a hot walk 😀)

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer licking a bowl containing a mix of yoghurt, banana, peanut butter and honey. The rest of the mixture has been poured into paw and bone shaped moulds for freezing into frosty paws.

More of Lyra's holiday snaps, overlooking her lodge in Wales #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra is very definitely not looking for Won't Look Wednesday #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Back home after our holiday, Lyra is now looking forward to sleeping for a full week to recover from all the excitement like escaping this fiendish labyrinth #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the One Schnauzer Gruff wasn't taking any nonsense from bridge trolls on her walk today #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on a wooden bridge, looking down slightly confused at a terrifying troll (actually a wooden carving)

Lyra finds holidays quite exhausting #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

#ThrowbackThursday to a very young Lyra #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer as a very young puppy, looking slightly baffled by... well, everything, really.

A breezy #TongueOutTuesday on the beach! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on a pebbley beach, beard blowing in the wind, with a hint of tongue poking out through the fluff

Today's #TongueOutTuesday courtesy of Lyra, Jungle Explorer #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing in a verdant tropical rainforest (or, to be strictly accurate, some British woodland), sticking her tongue out.

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing in the same rainforest/woodland with more of a smile this time, though probably just panting because it's quite warm. Don't worry, she had a drink soon after.

#ThrowbackThursday to 2023, Lyra and her friend Skye on holiday after a very tiring day #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBlueSky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer and Skye the west highland white terrier lying next to each other on a blanket, side by side almost like they were on a piano keyboard, as Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder may well have observed

Lyra says happy #TongueOutTuesday ! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on a woodland path, panting slightly in the heat - we've been sticking to the shade and having plenty of frosty paws in these temperatures!

Lyra was slightly puzzled when she met a toad on her walk... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra is definitely ready for the weekend #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on her back on a brown sofa, paws in the air. I feel the same way, Lyra...

Mike Moore@zosoz· Jul 1

Lyra's had a little haircut and is looking rather spiffy #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer sitting very nicely, gazing at the camera with a dignified look

While we were at a history festival Lyra was boarding; she was so tired afterwards from playing with her friends she dozed off on the lawn after chasing her ball once... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer wearing a rainbow coloured cooling bandana, lying curled up on the lawn, snoozing, with a purple ball abandoned on the grass behind her

Hope everyone is surviving the current heatwave. Lyra doesn't like the heat, but is also not a fan of the noisy air conditioner in the office where she is currently held captive (to avoid melting), so is hiding under the desk... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer sitting under a desk. I'm also sitting at the desk, Lyra is tucked under/alongside my legs and is looking up with a gaze that says "why are you holding me prisoner in this noisy (though admittedly cool) room, can't I go outside?", and my reply of "we briefly went outside for you to use the facilities and you needed an emergency frosty paw, it was so hot" is cutting very little mustard.

Lyra is ready for the weekend... #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer lying on her back on a sofa, paws in the air, quite exhausted after a hectic morning.

Lyra is also a fan of the radiator-standing-desk for monitoring the neighbourhood! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing on her hind legs with her front legs resting on a radiator, looking out of a window. She is fully alert, ready to shout a loud warning if she detects an intruder. Or if there's a delivery to any house in a 500m radius. Or someone walks past on the other side of the road. Or a pigeon has the temerity to land on the lawn. Or some leaves are blown around by an unexpected breeze. You can't be too careful, you know.

Mike Moore@zosoz· Jun 15

It's a bit warm out there, Lyra hopes you're all staying hydrated #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer standing in the woods drinking water from a collapsible bowl. You can tell it's a hot day because she's actually drinking voluntarily, as opposed to being chased around by a human holding the bowl trying to encourage her to drink while Lyra turns her head away as if it was deadly poison rather than water (then finds some gribbly puddle to drink out of instead)

Four years (and a week) ago, Lyra looking quite tired after an expedition #ThrowbackThursday #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer, lying on a sofa, looking slightly discombobulated (but still adorable)

A slightly backlit #TongueOutTuesday from Lyra #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra found a little agility course on this morning's expedition! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

A fresh batch of frosty paws have just gone in the freezer, after the Quality Control Supervisor gave her blessing to the mixture! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer licking frosty paw mixture (yoghurt, banana, honey, peanut butter) out of a bowl. She's got it all over her beard and is going to complain vigorously when it gets all crispy and has to be brushed out, but it's worth it (probably)

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer licking frosty paw mixture (yoghurt, banana, honey, peanut butter) from a bowl being held by her human assistant. In the foreground two trays of paw and bone shapes have been filled with the mixture ready to go into the freezer.

Indeed! Lyra has done some classes, and we got some little magnetic tins from The Sniffer Shop for home use. Lyra is trained on something incredibly useful... if there's ever a need to bust a Red Kong smuggling ring!

Two scent kits from The Sniffer Shop consisting of metal tins with little magnetic containers that you can put a little piece of a red kong in, then hide, for sniff training.

Mike Moore@zosoz· May 30

Lyra is also a big fan of Frosty Paws, especially when an assistant holds it so she doesn't have to chase it around her bowl! (Don't tell her, but I sometimes have one myself after a walk) #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer splooting on the carpet, wearing a cooling bandana and licking a frozen yogurt treat. Keep cool out there, folks!

Lyra's not usually a fan of the water, but went on a heroic deep sea expedition the other day (i.e. paddled to ankle depth) #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky

Lyra the black miniature schnauzer on an early morning beach walk, before temperatures got too silly, paddling through ankle depth water

Mike Moore@zosoz· May 25

It's going to be a scorcher today, lots of people having the same idea about an early morning beach walk! #SchnauzerGang #DogsOfBluesky
