Geistvoll Fridenweizer, affectionately known as Weizer, was our first
Standard Schnauzer. Her name is composed of "Friden" from
Kathi's maiden name of Fridenstine and "weizer" from Budweiser.
She was an accomplished traveler in the air, in a car, and in a raft. She
accompanied us on many back packing trips and carried her own pack too.
Her favorite past time, which was chasing squirrels, was also her down fall.
She injured her back by standing on her hind legs and barking up into the trees
at the "visiting"
squirrels. However, a bad back did not send her to the rainbow bridge,
mouth cancer did.
She was the pack leader and would let every new pup that entered our Schnauzer
home know that.
