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

The Sunday Schnauzer – Some of My Other Favourite Things
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),

The Sunday Schnauzer – Paper Roses
Here’s how my days are going this summer:
- Spend the early morning (or previous evening) packing up a load to take to the new place.
- Unload into Homer (the storage unit at the new place, so named by the previous owners).
- Go into my unit and prep for renovating, joined by the next door neighbour’s dog, You-Know-Who.
- Clean up the mess made by the neighbour dog.
- Go back to the apartment.
- 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.

The Sunday Schnauzer – My Ballie
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).

The Sunday Schnauzer – Feather
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.

The Sunday Schnauzer – My People and Me
Oma said I could write another dog blog post for her because she is pupped pooped out from helping Mom and Dad paint and renovate their new house AND from moving some stuff from her place over to their storage building every day. (Oma says she will be living real close to me soon, at the Bowserlands!!!) So anyways, here goes…
There are 2 more humans in my life now. Daddy’s two other pups are here for the summer. So I have lots of people to play with me even when the grown ups are busy with their renovating/moving/painting. Life is good. I hope you have lots of playmates too.
Rock on, (I don’t know what this means but Oma says I have to say it)

The Sunday Schnauzer – Now and Zen
Recently, one of our daily pup-exhausting fun adventures took us to Roberts Memorial Provincial Park, near Bowser’s current home (and my future home!). One thing you may not know about Bowser – he has these contemplative moments (when not sleeping or in action dog mode) where he likes to just sit down and absorb whatever is going on around him. Something about this walk really brought out this side of him…or maybe he just wanted me to pick him up and carry him around 🤷♀️. Who knows? This is the Zen of Dogs…😄
After another 1 km walk back through the forest to get to the car, we headed to Bowser’s home for some snacks and a rest.
We hope your weekend is going great, and you have plenty of time for contemplation…
Rock on,

The Sunday Schnauzer – Going Places, Doing Things
In a somewhat vain attempt to burn off an abundance of puppy energy, we are trying to plan an adventure a day, when Bowser is in my care. It also helps with socialization, which is very important if you want a friendly dog who is open and confident when faced with new people, dogs, and situations. So far I have learned that Bowser is a bit of a “party dog” in that he wants to be wherever other adults, kids and dogs are hanging out. He doesn’t understand that dogs are not allowed on many of Vancouver Island’s beaches during the summer months not that this stops some people. We are staying on the right side of the community by-laws and exploring the parts of the shore where dogs are not verboten.
Hope your weekend is going well, you are hanging with friends and family, and get to carry around some nice sticks (or feathers).
Rock on,

The Sunday Schauzer – Mad Bowz: Thunderdome
Lest you think, gentle readers, that the grand puppy is some sort of cuddly angelic being that sleeps all the time (after last week’s post)…I bring you Bowser in the ON POSITION. Here is what immediately happens upon waking up from a nap. It starts off slowly but then inevitably builds up to crazy attack dog mode.
We go outside and play “fetch” to burn off some puppy energy.
When he gets really frisky we play Tug of War.
But even that isn’t enough to stop him from going after my legs and hands in a frenzy of play. The more I push him away or scold him, the better he likes it. Bowser thinks Oma just likes to play rough and he is always happy to up the ante.
Hey, wait a minute…I’ve got an idea!
Then I had an idea!

The Sunday Schnauzer – Napping
My phone is rapidly filling up with photos of Mr. Adorable aka Bowser aka my grand-doggy so what’s a blogger to do? Create a weekly photo dump post of some of my adventures in dog-sitting, I suppose! I’ll start out with a post of the pup in his quieter, non-bitey non-crazy mode: THE NAP. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that 😁.
Here’s the progression of a nap from the week before last:
Another day, another nap:
Now that the weather has finally heated up and we’re a bit older, this is the preferred nap strategy:
And finally, the car nap:
Rock and nap on,
