I was busy doing something (probably haus-frauing) in my place and Bowser was playing outside with one of his new favourite squeaky toys when suddenly he started barking and would not stop. Now, he usually barks once or twice when he sees something he feels should be noticed (and I usually take no notice as I am wise to the Ways of the Schnauzer) but this was unusual.
I took a look outside and this is what I saw:
Of course, before going out to free Mr. Squeaky Chicken and relieve Bowser of his misery I HAD to take pictures of all this drama.
After all, it was much more amusing than haus-frauing 😉.
Rock on,

LOL! I wonder if he’ll be tossing Mr. Chicken around that Wisteria bush again, or if it becomes a new game? 🤣
Mr. Chicken has been tossed into the bushes on Bowser’s parents’ side of the yard as well. So far it has not become a game, just an annoyance (on Bowser’s part). But I wouldn’t put it past him to figure this one out! Thanks, Deborah 💕
😃
Just loving these antics! Thank you so much for sharing, Deb! ❤️😁
You are most welcome, Natalie 💕
That was quite some fling! He’s got good range!
These dogs are bred to be “ratters”, and they kill rats and other vermin by shaking them and flinging them so that their necks/spines break. I think Bowser has that killer instinct for sure…he has the highest prey drive of any Schnauzer I have ever known. Thanks, Kate 💕
Poor Bowser! Quite understandable that he had to summon you for assistance.
And I was happy to assist. Once I stopped laughing, that is 🤣. Thanks, Sheree 💕

Poor Bowser. There’s nothing worse than losing your chicken. Or so I’ve heard…
Nothing worse! Unless it’s your squeaky frog (that Oma accidentally threw onto the roof this morning 😖). Or so I’ve heard…thanks, Rivergirl 💕
LOL…toooo funny by half! Poor baby! Hugs and thanks for the chuckle!
You are most welcome, Carol 💕 Hugs right back atcha!
Poor Bowser – Thankfully Oma (eventually) came to the rescue! Wishing you both a wonderful week ahead! 😀
Same to you my friend! Thanks 💕
If he had yanked on that branch just a bit more he might have got it free on his own. But it’s always good to have a backup plan (getting YOU to free it). He’s a smart one, that boy.
I’m responding quickly to the training, according to Bowser 🤣. Thanks, Dawn 💕
I’ve done the Chicken Dance before too, but there never was an actual chicken involved (and, thankfully, no cell phones recording it). I’m glad you were able to free the chicken so Bowser could play again.
Yeah, me too! And the Macarena…I wonder what crazy dances people are doing these days at weddings and such. Thanks, Janis 💕
Barking up the wrong tree if he thought he was getting Mr. Chicken out!!
It was truly a lost cause and time to enlist aid from Oma! Thanks, Bernie 💕
Wisteria. With cascades of flowing purple blooms, wisterias are truly stunning. But their seeds (and seed pods) are highly poisonous to dogs, while the leaves and flowers can also be harmful in large quantities.
Good to know! Bowser is not a seed or leave eater, thankfully. I have never seen him go after any part of this plant. Thanks, Luisa 💕

The wisteria always wins….😁. Thanks, Joanne 💕
His antics are so Classical Puppy that following The Sunday Schnauzer gives me flash-backs to every puppy I ever had but especial my on Schnauzer. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Classical puppy, for sure. Thanks, Jean 💕
You’d better have a talk with that Wisteria; you do’t want it eating Mr. Squeaky Chicken again! LOL😜😳
I think the wisteria was fed up with all the squeaking and I don’t blame it one bit 😁. Thanks, Suz 💕
Brilliant Deb – such fun … try him with a rubber glove – my dog whipped one of mine in South Africa and piled round the house, out the back door and round, throwing it up in the air … it filled with air and ballooned down – such fun to watch. I so understand and I’m delighted you took the photos … whisper to him that his legs need to grow a bit?! Cheers Hilary
That sounds like a great idea for a pinch, like when all his squeaky toys have been thrown up into the trees or on the roof (that would be my fault 🤦♀️) and I can’t reach them 🤣. Thanks, Hilary 💕
Hi Deb – I’ve liked it .. but it’s not taking … that’d be great and fun to see him … I loved seeing my dog rattle around four fingering and one thumbing the world with the marigold! Enjoy … cheers Hilary
