| Giant Schnauzers at High Mesa Fjords | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Eight years ago, I fulfilled a long time dream when Zack, a Giant Schnauzer, came to live with me in Las Cruces. I was Zack's fourth and forever home. Why he came have so many homes amazes me because he was a gentle loving dog and due to hip problems not an active dog. Zack has left us but leaves behind very fond memories of my first Giant and the knowledge that life is not complete without one in my life. I can never forget him. I decided that I could offer a home to yet another Giant Schnauzer and contacted HT-Z Giant Schnauzer Rescue. Quicker than I believed possible, I was able to offer a home to 4-year, Brie. Brie came home with me to Las Cruces on July 29, 2006. She quickly adapted to her new surroundings and settled in to her new forever home. Brie blossomed in the next two years. She learned to get along with other dogs and to trust people. She was extremely athletic and mostly obedient. Brie's fondest wish was to catch a rabbit! Her wish came true more often that I liked. She loved playing in the hay barn and pouncing on mice. I never had to cut open a bale of hay for the horses anymore. She earned her Canine Good Citiizen certificate in Spring 2008. In May 2008, Brie had a baseball size fibrosarcoma removed. We fought the tumor for another 9 months before she succumbed on Feb. 9, 2009. She is sorely missed. She had two really good years of life but it wasn't enough. On St. Patrick's Day (March 17, 2009), Zeus arrived from Claremore, OK were he had been rescued by a family that found his sister and him. HTZ Giannt Rescue assisted in vet care and in finding them new homes. I was told about Zeus who was lonely after his sister, Zoe, had been adopted. Zeus was a little over one year when he arrived here in Las Cruces. He is a smart, intelligent, willing, and affectionate young guy who has quickly adapted to his new home.I look forward to several years of his companionship. |
