Vacation is over and we are back to our usual daily routine. Walk, play, nap, eat. Having Oma as a personal masseuse…
Can I be a dog in my next life? 😉
We hope you are embracing some great routines and getting in some self-care too.
Rock on and Elbows Up!

The last day and night of our vacation was spent in the lovely little town of Port Hardy.
We were very happy to leave the logging roads behind us.
We hope your weekend is not too tiring, yet has some fun adventuring happening.
Rock on, and elbows up!

After leaving Malcolm Island, we headed to Holberg to stay in the adventure huts at the Scarlet Ibis Pub.
We hope you are having a lovely weekend, and not getting too tuckered out!
Rock on, and elbows up!

The Sunday Schnauzer is BACK! And happy to share photos of Bowser’s adventures while camping and road-tripping. First stop was Bere Point Regional Park on Malcolm Island…
Bowser is not the happiest dog in the car although he absolutely wants to get in the car with us when we are going somewhere. We’re not sure if he gets to feeling sick or is just anxious. The vet prescribed a sedative, which helps. The trip to our first destination was about 5 hours long so Mommy made sure he got his medicine in advance.
While the fishing was going on, my granddaughter and I were snorkelling around in the shallows and out to the kelp bed. I saw sculpins, moon jellies, kelp crabs and even a lion’s mane jelly! So cool.
Once Bowser en famille were back on land, we decided to try Bowser out on my paddle board.
Not all of our adventures took place on the water. Bowser’s dad wanted to show us a special place in the forest one day, so off we went.
Bowser was not as impressed with the big tree as we were. He was much more interested in navigating the forest floor at breakneck speed.
We also spent some time in the town of Sointula on Malcolm Island, and investigated the rocky shores there.
Next week I’ll be sharing pictures of our stay in Holberg and our visit to San Josef Bay.
We hope you are having a fabulous weekend.
Rock on, and elbows up!

Recently, Bowser’s mom and dad were away so I was in charge and Bowser stayed at my house. He slept either on his doggy bed or my couch and this is what I was greeted with while making my morning coffee:
We hope all is well and good with you too! Next week there will be no Sunday Schauzer as Bowser en famille will be away camping. Hopefully the following week will be full of fun photos of some of our outdoor adventures!
Till then:
Rock your bad selves on, and keep those elbows up!

My daughter and son-in-law are away right now on the mainland, leaving me in charge of keeping Bowser and the chickens alive and happy. So far so good. She texted me a couple of days ago to let me know she got a call from the vet that Bowser’s lump is benign. Hoorah!
Mr. Bowsie is healing like a champ:
Bowser is not getting his daily dose of Mommy & Daddy snuggles so that means the burden falls completely on me. Oh woe is me! 😉
I’m not sure how much more snuggle-time I can take! Someone please rescue me from all of the cuteness…LOL!
We hope you are enjoying a weekend full of snuggles.
Rock on and Elbows Up!

For about a year now, we’ve been monitoring a tiny bump on Bowser’s head, between his eyes.
And lately we have been noticing it is getting bigger.
So this week, Bowser’s mommy took him to the vet to get it removed and sent to a lab. Results pending in about 2 weeks.
Unfortunately due to the bump’s location, Bowser had to be put under for its removal. We had a very dopey dog on Friday.
But now he is back to normal and begging for walkies.
So far so good with the aftercare. He is not bothering the incision, even when on the occasional cone-respite.
We hope you are having a great weekend. Please send healing vibes if you have a moment.
Rock on and elbows up!

Oh my. It was an exciting week here in Bowserland.
First off, Mommy is away. So there was a miscommunication between Daddy and Oma about who was giving me breakfast. I ended up with 2 breakfasts on the first day of Mommy’s absence. Can the day get any better? I still miss Mommy though…
Then, later in the week Oma and me heard a big noise down at the creek. I could hear Oma saying “Don’t be a bear. Don’t be a bear. Don’t be a bear…” in that way of hers. We tried to peek between the trees to see what it was.
Of course I had to run down the embankment to bark my head off protect Oma and investigate further. So the herd ran up the other side to get away from my fierceness.
My job done, I went back up the bank to stand with Oma as she was filming.
Oma says we hope you are recovering this weekend especially if you have had an exciting week like us. I say Mommy please come home soonest. We miss you!
Rock on and elbows up!

Or should that be “gobblin'”? Because that was what was happening when I was picking peas in my garden this week.
I needed both hands to remove some stubborn pods from the vines so I put my gathering bowl down and…
… this happened.
He did eat them, although they needed to be dropped and inspected several times before consumption.
The garden goblin continued to haunt me when I sat down to shell the peas I had harvested.
This is a dog who loves his veggies.
Let us all be more like Bowser this weekend and “give peas a chance”.
Have a good one, and keep those elbows up!
Rock on,

No worries about Bowser – he’s fine! It was me that was down for the count this past week with a brief but impactful stomach bug. No Canada Day celebrations for this girlie. I needed to stay close to home and to the…uh… facilities, at all times.
Bowser, who hasn’t gotten up beside me on the couch for months and months, decided he would join me while I was dozing napping recuperating.
Do dogs know when you need extra comforting? Or was this a happy coincidence?
He’s been like a little shadow even more than usual lately. Only going back to his place or outside when I am outside or when Mommy and Daddy come home from work. And even then he comes back to check on me.
Happily (for both of us), I’ve made a full recovery and we are out on the trails again!
We hope you have a safe and healthy weekend! Happy July 4th to my American friends!
Rock on, and elbows up!
