That is too cute.
I don't think he can bark yet, lol. I have a bell hanging from the door handle and he rang it to go out today.
My other dog will say, "mama" for a treat. Sometimes it's, "OOOmama".

Nothing like a schnauzer. Mighty dog in a tiny dog's body!

Thank you, Gus :D
Tell me more about his personality. We're getting a pretty good idea that he's no shrinking violet.

No they are not shrinking violets. Gus ( and Tara before him) is a loyal little dog. Loves who he loves and that's it. He has gotten the reputation of being a grumpy old man in our family. But he's loving and attentive when he wants to be!

Some advice? Start grooming Jo-Jo now and keep it up! They are easily matted. Gus HATES the brush or comb so we give him a close cut all the time.
And if he's going to travel with you, get him used to the car now and take him every time the car moves. Gus was a great passenger his first summer but developed a phobia over the winter when he wasn't getting as many rides and now hates the car.

Gus will soon be 8. I can't believe the years go by so quickly!
