In case last week’s post didn’t convince you of Bowser’s softer side, here is another video of Bowser canoodling with his daddy:
(That’s my daughter you hear giggling, in the video. And the drilling/banging noises are the roofers installing a new metal roof.)
We hope you are having some giggles this Easter long weekend.

One of my longtime readers, Jean of Misadventures of Widowhood, recently asked if Bowser was a cuddly dog or not. The very next day my daughter sent me this video of Bowser with his daddy, who is at home recuperating from knee surgery.
Jean, I hope this answers your question! 🙂
For those of you who might not know Jean through her blog, I can recommend you check her out. Jean writes with wit, humour and heart about her life and adventures in a retirement community. You won’t be disappointed!

I have one of those fancy-schmancy Samsung Frame TVs that displays art work. I love it. Worth every extra so extra penny to me, to be able to display artwork and not have a big black rectangle hanging on my wall. I live in a 5-room, 600 square foot cottage, so every inch of wall space has to pull its weight in the decor arena. Recently, my TV notified me there was new stuff in the Art Store to ponder and potentially select. Here is what I found:
Bowser on steroids? A leonine ancestor?
Here is our current-day Rough Dog:
I see a resemblance. Do you?
I think Stubbs’ A Rough Dog will be gracing my TV wall for a long time.
We hope you are having a great – not rough – weekend!

Bowser has a new old favourite toy. I bought it for him last summer and it has languished in the yard over the winter months. I’m surprised he hasn’t destroyed it and that it still squeaks!
Hope you are having a fun weekend and playing with dirty slobbery toys too.

Thank you, Mama Ru. You made the only right choice.
Bowser says make good choices this long weekend (Family Day in Canada; Presidents Day in the US).

I recently came back from a 3 week winter vacation (more about that at some point…) and my reunion with family was joyous. However, I did notice that Bowser was a bit more…um…substantial than when I left.
In Bowser’s defense, the island experienced ALL THE WEATHER while I was away. Snow storms, atmospheric rivers, and wind storms. Which made for less than ideal dog walking conditions.
There is only one cure for our Bowser’s chonkiness.
We hope you are having a great weekend, and are able to enjoy the great outdoors (and keep the winter chonkies at bay 😉).

It’s no secret that Bowser knows his place. And it’s the couch. Every couch. Mommy’s office couch has loose cushions on the back and Bowser needs to be up high, on top of them. This will not go well.
We hope you have a restful napping place this weekend.

Miniature Schnauzers are not known to be dogs that love water, and Bowser is no different. He won’t swim unless his only other option is being left behind, but he has no qualms about trudging through the water at any time of year.
We hope you have some fun explorations this weekend.

By the time this post goes live, I will be away on my annual winter holiday and missing apres hike snuggles with my buddy. So here is a couple of shots my daughter took when we were chatting on my couch after one such hike, with Bowser snoozing between us.
That’s it for this week! I am planning to have a few more posts lined up (with older photos), to maintain consistency while I am away. But I am not bringing my laptop on this trip so wish me luck with the Jetpack phone app if things happen to go awry! Looking at you, WordPress 🤨.
Rock on,
