The rainy season is well and truly here, on the island. Bowser and I go out even in the rain, unless it’s very heavy. Here are some photos and short videos of a drier walk, for your viewing pleasure.
Rock on, and you know what to do with those elbows!

As some of you may remember, I recently switched web hosts. During that time of switchover, I initially published this post on October 26, however it did not make it into my blog once the transition was completed to the new host. It exists somewhere in cyberspace and thankfully I could recover it from The Widow Badass Facebook page. I am republishing it today (November 2) as a kind-of bonus Sunday Schnauzer 😄. Feel free to ignore if you have already read it!
This is my official submission to Dawn’s (Change is Hard) Walktober post.
Rock on, stay Walktober Zen, and remember to keep those elbows up…

….Never get us down!
Rainy season is full upon us. Does that stop us from getting out there? Heck no. Rainy walks can be delightful, if you are wearing the right gear. Or if you are a dog who just doesn’t care so long as the human is right there with you.
We hope you stay warm and dry this weekend. Thank you Blue Jays, and keep those elbows up!
Rock on,

Oma is home (and alone) again, and life is back to normal. I thought Joanne was nice and all, but I don’t like sharing Oma. There, I said it!
I hope we all get treats this weekend! I hear the humans talking about how it is Thanksgiving. I am giving thanks for walkies and treats.
Rock on, and elbows up!

Oma is still adventuring with Joanne. Now she is in Bamfield, at some hoity-toity lodge. Oh boy, do I have things to say to that woman when she finally comes back home.
Things like: OMG YOU’RE BACK! YOU’RE BACK! I MISSED YOU, I MISSED YOU! LET’S PLAY. NO, CUDDLE! NO, PLAY! NO, CUDDLE! YOU’RE BACK! YOU’RE BACK! YIPPEE DIPPEE WOO WOO WOO!!!!
Or something to that effect. I am a dog, after all.
Rock on and elbows up!

Bowser here…Oma is off having fun adventures with someone called Joanne, and I am left to amuse myself. Grrrr….
Current mood:
Just kidding, I have Mommy and Daddy and the chickens to pester have fun with.
Have a good one, and keep your elbows up…

We had some rain last weekend and the land is looking slightly refreshed. More rain is on the way, and it is still desperately needed. I decided to take some shots on one of our daily walks this past week.
We hope you have a weekend filled with treats.

Firstly, let me apologize for all of the similar TSS posts lately. I seem to be only taking pictures of Bowser from my living room lately because…well, I am. Our walks are not as photographically interesting as it’s very dry and dusty out, and the creek has shrunk down to a trickle. Plus it’s hard to get a good shot of Bowser when we’re out as he is constantly on the move and ahead of me so they would be a lot of shots of his backside. Which is cute, but gets boring when it’s all you see – trust me on this! 😉
Also, Bowser has decided that he really likes hanging out in my living room. It started earlier this summer when my granddaughter was here. I don’t think Bowser liked sharing his the couch with another person besides Mommy and Daddy. And let’s not forget the chickens. This summer some of the hatchlings lived (in a tote and under a heat lamp) in Mommy and Daddy’s house for a while, and now the growing flock has taken over his the back yard when Daddy lets them out for some free-ranging chicken enrichment activities. So Bowser appears to have picked Oma’s house as his go-to hangout place. And now I have to kick him out most nights back to his house, if I haven’t shut my back gate early enough in the evening and he returned after his supper to sack out once again in his doggy bed.
I’m happy that Bowser likes to relax at my house…although I do feel guilty about him spending so much time with me.
Please enjoy 30 seconds of Bowser gently snoring (sound on!).
And if you like, here is about a minute of Bowser drowsing at my house.
We hope you have a restful weekend.
Rock on, and elbows up!

I’ve been away on the mainland for the past 10 days but you wouldn’t know it as I scheduled a post to publish during my absence (from Bowser and the rest of “the pack”). I was helping one of my sisters make a big move in order to be closer to her daughter, and to better healthcare.
Now I’m “just” home again and have been going through some recent photos on my phone, in order to create this post. Luckily, this is not a problem for me!
We’re back to the almost daily walkies…
And the almost daily nappies…
And I can’t get enough of seeing this little face again!
We hope you have a great weekend, filled with faces you love.
Rock on, and keep those elbows up!

Somedays it’s harder than others to get the necessary self-care happening. Especially when the 4-legged one is at cross-purposes to rehydrating one’s skin.
What is it about dogs and body lotion?
Bubble bath too. My dogs always loved to eat the bubbles.
I had forgotten about this quirk before applying the lotion in Bowser’s presence.
Note to self: future applications in the bathroom only, with the door firmly shut against intruders.
We hope you have plenty of self-care this long Labour Day weekend.
Rock on, and keep those elbows up!
