Bowser’s other grandmother was over recently and marvelled at the state of his teeth. “How are they so white? Do you have them cleaned? (No) Do you brush them? (No) Then why are they so crazy white?
This. It’s just this:
May we all take our oral hygiene as seriously as this dog does!

P.S. Fellow Canadians: if you haven’t already, be sure to get out and vote tomorrow!!!
Our daily walks have been outright glorious lately. It’s such a treat to see the plants come into bloom.
We hope you are able to enjoy the weather, wherever you are.

I know some of you think Bowser is all love and light – a happy-go-lucky soul – spreading joy and cuteness like rays of sunshine everywhere he goes.
Listen. To. Me.
Actually, Bowser is an unrelenting, unapologetic authoritarian taskmaster and I am helpless in resisting his demands.
If I am slow to respond to Comments, please send help. I am being trapped in servitude to this authoritarian bully despot enforcer tyrant dog.

On Thursday, the star of Ye Olde Blogge had another birthday!
The day started out with the usual walk in the woods.
Later that day, the rest of the pack took Bowser out for a birthday dinner while Oma was at her knitting class.
Happy birthday, dearest Bowsie!

Who knew that not only breaking up but waking up is so hard to do? (Apologies to Neil Sedaka)
Waking up IS HARD, PEOPLE!

In these troubling times, I have returned to knitting as a calming and meditative practice. However, it is not quite so calming when Bowser is on the scene. Remember this and this?
Anywho, I have switched from wooden double-pointed needles to metal-tipped circulars for my sock knitting so Bowser won’t be able to snack on the needles I think?!…and I am being doubly cautious about where I leave them in case he gets ahold of them and tries snacking on them. For obvious reasons. Not the least of which is he could seriously hurt himself.
We hope you stay safe from yarn thieves this weekend.

Bowser knows it’s spring and is loathe to come inside. Or is he?
I was busy in the kitchen when I glanced outside and saw this.
Back to the kitchen I went, to continue with my food preparation. A few minutes later, I looked outside again and saw this.
So, I finish what I was doing in the kitchen and head to the living room to pick up my knitting (my refuge in these troubling times). Then I see this.
We hope you have a restful weekend with lots of snuggles.

Bowser went to the dog spa on Friday.
We hope you are having a beautiful weekend.

Bowser is ever-changing in his behaviour, it seems.
Lately he doesn’t want to cuddle that much with me or any other members of his pack. He prefers to hang out in his dog bed, which he has ignored for many months now.
My daughter thinks that because he has gotten quite shaggy, he gets too hot when he is cuddled up with one (or more) of us. The weather has warmed up at lot so Bowser is going to the spa groomers’ next week. We shall see.
Stay cool this weekend, friends!

This past weekend was a holiday one in our part of the world: Family Day. So as a family we went to the west coast of the island, to enjoy its beauty. I had booked us a dog-friendly 2 bedroom suite in a place I have stayed at multiple times already – the Tofino Resort and Marina.
Alas, the weather (amongst other things) was not in our favour this past weekend. It was grey, wet, and cold for the most part. But we made the best of it, regardless. Even when all of our snacks froze solid in the hotel room’s mini-fridge. Even when some takeout from a formerly great restaurant turned out to be a disappointment. Even when I couldn’t make the pour-over coffee I had brought taste good. Even when we couldn’t escape the drizzle and rain.
We hope you enjoyed the recap of our little winter getaway.
Rock on,
The WB
