Izzy The Blog Dog-
Izzy is our precious Schapso dog ( The Schapso dog breed is a half Lhasa Apso and half Miniature Schnauzer) . Izzy is the official blog dog here at Katherines Corner and our snuggle bunny. He was one of five in a litter of cute puppies. All girls and our sweet boy. But nobody wanted the male (insert sad face here) . After a day spent “dog sitting” he wanted us and the feeling was mutual! He is such a joy to have in our home and a true part of our family. Often referred to as our boy, baby boy or Izzy Monsta ( monster), depending on what he has been up to that day, LOL.
He has been very trainable and can do many wonderful tricks and commands and he recognizes approximately 50-60 words or phrases ( yes I am bragging a bit …sorry, just proud of him). He however refuses to walk calmly on a leash. This is a constant work in progress. We even went to dog training classes to try and master the leash walking. He sailed through the class with flying colors. But walking on the leash continued to be a hurdle. We practice routinely but for some reason he sees the leash as a toy and pulls and tugs and growls ( as if he is playing tug of war). He loves car rides and is always anxious to “go for a ride” or “walk” but he wants to leave that leash behind, LOL.
He is a loyal pet and often thinks he is my personal body guard and totally unaware of his size ( all of 13 lbs) he will go toe to toe with any dog including rottweilers and bulldogs three times his size. He is fearless and very protective of me and although it is endearing, you must earn his blessing before you can approach me to closely. I am his Mama in all senses of the word. He is my constant companion. My little shadow of happy . He loves his Papa ( my hubby), He loves my Mother, our daughter and our grandchildren too.

Caring For Our Baby
Its A Boy
What a sweet little guy. And how tiny he was as a baby. I have loved three dogs in the past and know how they can steal your heart. My last was a Labradoodle named Tavi which means “ogod” in Aramaic. He was my love for almost ten years and then became sick and I had to let him go. It broke my heart and I still miss him every day. Loving a dog is really magic, I think. They are so “other”, yet there exists a potential for communication between human and animal that has always just amazed me. I envy you having Izzyy to love and appreciate you sharing him with your readers. Hugs to you and pats for dear Izzy.
Naomi, he was a goofy looking little fella, but what a handsome boy he has grown up to be. I’m sorry to learn your Tavi left our world to soon. They leave footprints on our hearts that will last a lifetime. Loving a dog is magical, they look to us for their every need and it is one I take with open arms. Izzy says thank you for the pats. I send hugs to you across the miles, Katherine
I love you Izzy!
Barbara Izzy send love back to you! Thank you for your sweet comment, Hugs!
Izzy is adorable Katherine! I’m a dog and cat lover, and love to see the dogs & cats of blogland.
What a precious baby! I love our furbabies, so I know how much Izzy must mean to you. Thank you for sharing Izzy with us. I’m nursing a sick fur-baby baby back to health right now, so seeing Izzy’s gorgeous bright eyes brings hope and joy. 🙂
Awww … sooo precious! I love dogs (and cats) and the people who love them!

Oh my, Izzy gets cuter the older he gets. What a darling dog <3
Hi Colleen!How nice to see you visiting Katherines Corner. Our sweet Izzy is our little fur baby such blessing. He is such a great companion . xoxo
Your Izzy is so adorable. Reminds me of my daughter’s schnauzer mix “Iggy”. Iggy is a sweet girl. She loves her 4 kitty brothers and and 2 sisters. I just discovered your blog and love it!
Hello Terri, welcome to Katherines Corner! How serendipitous that your daughter’s dog is named Iggy (smile). Thank you for sharing, hugs!
Katherine, Izzy is just adorable. They truly are Man/womens best friend. I bet Izzy’s favourite room to hand out is in the kitchen with you hoping that you might have a slight mishap and drop some treats on the floor. Izzy is your built in clean up crew… I hope this note finds you well and wishing you a safe and happy holiday weekend! Take Care, BAM
I wish he could meet my Macie, they would probably be BFF’s!
What a very nice dog,
my Rony is also such a little cuddly dog look here:

Thank you Jutta, We are lucky to both have such sweet dogs. Hugs P.S. your photography is lovely.
Cute doggie.
My dog tries to eat his leach when he goes on a walk. And beware if any other dog wants to try to be friends with his Mi Mi. That will never happen. No matter what he is the best companion and friend and makes me smile all day. A real companion for an old lady (77 years old now) and he is only 5. Oh my goodness!!!
I have a little dog named Hugs who sounds just like your little dog. These little fur bundles sure bring lots of love. Thank you for sharing.
Janet he is our sweet baby boy. We often finds ourselves asking “where is the baby boy” or how is our baby boy today” ( thank goodness dog lovers know we are not crazy, LOL xo
Your dog is so cute! I’m a proud mommy of a male maltese called Asher. His behavior is similar to your dog. Ilaughed when you said your dog thinks he’s your personal bodyguard because that’s exactly how my dog behaves with me too. I often have to run from big dogs when i take him for a walk because He thinks he’s the boss and he’s ready to give up his live to protect me. He has really become part of my family and a joy to our lives. Concerning his behavior, Cesar Milan Teaching DVDs has helped us a lot to understand better our dog and discipline him the righ way. Hugs to you and a special one to Izzy
I love Cesar Milan he is a miracle worker. I wonder if he can help me with Izzy. He is such a joy in our lives and he has mastered so many commands and tricks and I swear he understands everything we say. But taking him for a walk is such a challenge. He pulls and walks on his hind legs! LOL
Is it wrong to follow you simply because this dog is so adorable? Found you from miss Erin at Two Thirds Hazel. Can’t wait to be apart of your reader club! I’m Phoebe over at Taken By The Lapels. So if you see your stats going up, it’s me adoring your whole blog!
Sorry for the delay in replying. Happy you are following and Izzy is too. Hugs!
Izzy looks very much like my little Schnoodle, Poppy. Here is a link to a few photos I took of her at Christmas time. They look very alike, but Poppy has a wave to her coat. I realise that Poppy is Schnauzer and Poodle but the similarity is uncanny. The image on your side bar, I have one identical of Poppy. Izzy is obviously as much a character as Poppy is.

I hope you get a chance to take a look.

Lee, I just spent some time at your lovely blog. You are right They do look alike. I shared your wonderful photos of your sweet Poppy with my Mother and hubby tonight and they agree. Our Izzy thinks he’s a person…shhh don’t tell him he isn’t, giggle. I imagine your Poppy is the same. Aren’t they wonderful members of the family. I look forward to our bloggy friendship. Hugs!
Thank you for sharing your adorable little guy. It brightened my day.
That makes me smile because he brightens ours too. Hugs
Adorable!
I think so too. Hugs!
Katherine Izzy is so super adorable! Too, too cute!
