Menopawsal Schnauzer!
I am woman, dog that is!
I’m ruff and tuff and my feelings are easily hurt!
I have mood swings, hot flashes and sleep alot!
I’m anxious most times and want my mistress with me always!
I’ve gained weight, I snore and hate to sleep alone!
I’m Menopawsal Schnauzer and you better stay out of my space!
P.S. My mood improves tremendously after eating a dog biscuit!
This is my Miniature Schnauzer Gracie. She is 13 yrs. old and slowing down. She’s not very patient any more and I joke with her that us menopausal women need to stick together. In spite of joking about menopaws, I truely love this dog and would miss her if she were not part of my life.

I applied the Fractalius Filter to bring out her coat.
Thanks for viewing and commenting!

I love Gracie and understand totally her predicament! I have an old man Cocker that must be in MEN-o-Paws!! But as you say…will miss him dearly!!
Diane Schuster replied
Funny about what you said about Men-o-Paws, my husband said that he went thru wo-mo-pause, when I went thru menopause, he said that it made sense to him! Thanks for your comments, Dottie, here’s to your old man Cocker! Dee
