Sounds like The Schoep-Meister is doing well! Let’s go to John & Schoep’s FB page, to see what’s what. Quoting John Unger, his hoomin:
“Fantastic day today. Five-six inches of new snow, 17 deg.f. and Schoep is on fire. Very quick and happy, he did not want to come in! Moderation is key with him, he cannot over do it. Rest and we will go out again tonight. Hope your day is just as good – John”
Here’s the famous shot from last summer that made Schoep a celeb. Photo by Hannah Stonehouse Hudson.
People, you might recall Unger & Schoep.
It wuz a big story all over the Intertubes about how the hoomin Unger helped out the doggeh Schoep by taking him to the lake to warm him up cuz Schoepster wasn’t feelin’ so good.
We’re happeh to update this story! In a Yahoo News story, Mr. Unger says that the Schoep Legacy Foundation has raised more than $25,000 so far..and the vet who treated Schoep says the money raised could help “another 30 or 40 Schoeps.”
Cute Overload also got ahold of Julie, Schoep’s PR Hoomin, who tells us Schoep’s donations “have allowed for weekly laser treatments, which he continues to receive; treatment also includes pain med, joint and muscle supplement and weekly monitoring by vet. Schoep has received donations like a Tempur Pedic Doggeh Bed and an elevated doggeh bowl which have really helped improve quality of life.”
Here’s the best part, folks:
Julie adds, “since receiving treatment he is more active, alert, flexible, happy. He walks better, sleeps through the night now, and wags his tail with more vigor! On his walks, he was actually trotting!”
He’s trotting!! Go, Schoep, go!!!

In closing, People- remember: Share The Love.
John Unger’s the hoomin and Schoep is his 19 year old puppeh. They’ve been together since Schoep was a wee little guy. (Schoep got his name from this ice cream store.) Unger found out that warm water helps Schoep’s arthritis, so he hauls him out into Lake Superior where Schoep can just relax.
This photo has taken off and now donations are pouring in to help pay for some treatment for Schoep! The photographer, Hannah Stonehouse Hudson, says she’ll donate a percentage of the sales of the photo to help with the Schoepster’s bills.
