My Marli Mouse - the Yodelling Schnauzer

My Schnauzer Marli loves to yodel, she has even begun a chewbacca(?) noise thing!
She is 7 years old and the love of my life. Her tail is always wagging, like she is actually laughing, or at best amused by life. What a happy girl!
She helped to raise 3 orphaned newborn kittens. She watched over them and cleaned them and nudged them around.
She has a best bud named Niki Rodriquez, my Maltese. They are inseparable. They sleep together, play together, check out each other's bowls to see who has more food and then eat and switch to eat each other's leftovers.
Morning is the best when I wake she is staring at me, always watching.Then when she sees that I am awake she lays over my body and growls at Niki to keep him at bay.
I love my schnootz. She's the girliegirl.
