When this post goes live I will be on the mainland (and Bowser-less), helping my sister move house. My other sister will already be there, also to help with the move. This is going to be the first time the 3 siblings have been together under one roof since 2015! Hopefully we survive the experience.

That makes the summer/fall of 2022 officially the “moving season”. I have been moving carloads of stuff and helping renovate my daughter’s side since July 1, and renovating my own place since August (still in progress). And now, gladly helping my sister as well. And when I return to the island, I will hopefully have my flooring finished so that I can finally officially move my furniture out of storage and into my new place. Just in time to pick up my first houseguest from the airport for a week of adventuring! (My kitchen won’t be finished but we will just muddle through.) Whew…I am getting tired just typing all of this. 😂

Anywho, more in upcoming posts (including before and after photos) once the dust settles (Novemberish, perhaps).

Bowser is completely healed from his recent surgery and fun and feisty as ever. I can’t stop myself from sharing some shots of the Dog Wonder (aka canine flashlight) in his headgear. Enjoy!

These pictures were taken pre-surgery (neutering). Bowser is currently not allowed to play with other dogs, lest he undo all the vet’s good work “down there”. He is healing like a champion though, and will be back to wrasslin’ with Good Neighbour Dog Hector very shortly.

We hope you find a lovely playmate to wrassle with.

Bowser is teething furiously these days. There is nothing safe from his jaws!

As of the time this post goes live, he will be recovering from tooth extraction as well as “the” procedure, if you know what I mean 😉. While at the vet for the neutering, they noticed that the adult versions were coming in fast and furious yet some of the baby teeth were still solid as rocks (I had noticed that too, last week. Thankfully most of them are nice and wiggly). Tooth impaction is apparently a common thing with mini Schnauzers so his momma agreed to the extraction since he would already be put under and she wants to end the teething suffering as soon as possible. Believe me, we ALL do!

Oh, the indignity of this assault on his doghood from both ends! Hopefully we will be forgiven…

I am big enough to carry around this Big Ballie now.

I hope you find a nice chin rest too.

Self-explanatory.

Happy Labour Day long weekend, everyone!

…Wake up like this! The kids went to the mainland so Oma was on overnight dog-sitter duty.

Rock on,

Two weeks ago I showed you my ballie. Oma said this week I could show you other things I love but not as much as my ballie, and that mostly end up in my mouth. Oma is still busy with her move to the Bowserlands. She says she will be here soon. I cannot wait.

I hope you have lots of favourite things too.

Rock on (I still don’t know what this means but Oma says Her blogge, Her rules),

Here’s how my days are going this summer:

1. Spend the early morning (or previous evening) packing up a load to take to the new place.
2. Unload into Homer (the storage unit at the new place, so named by the previous owners).
3. Go into my unit and prep for renovating, joined by the next door neighbour’s dog, You-Know-Who.
4. Clean up the mess made by the neighbour dog.
5. Go back to the apartment.
6. Rinse and repeat.

Case in point:

Of course he was. Once I stopped laughing. That magenta tongue!!! 🤣

We hope you have lots of laughs today and everyday. Here’s a bonus ear worm for you, because I can’t get this song out of my head either.

Rock on,

Oma said I could write another dog blog because she is busy packing stuff to move to the Bowserlands. She has a lot of stuff. I don’t know why humans need so much stuff to be happy. I only need one thing (after food, water and love) and I can play for hours: my ballie.

I hope you have a ballie to play with today (along with food, water, and love).

Rock on,

Bowser’s feather fascination continues…I know not why. But as it buys me a few moments of peace, I also do not care. 😜

We hope you find something equally fascinating this weekend.

Rock on,
