Have I mentioned before that Bowser likes to be petted as he drifts off to sleep? Well, he also enjoys a luxurious massage as he wakes back up. I did not see doggy masseuse on my retirement bingo card, but here we are.
We hope you take the time to enjoy life’s little luxuries this weekend.

Our walks this month usually start like this:
Many things in bloom this month on the trail (just as lovely as the wisteria in the garden!).
No matter how the walk starts or what we see on the trail, it ends pretty much the same way:
We hope you enjoy some nature walks this weekend!

Last Sunday was Mother’s Day in this part of the world, and the family and house guests headed out to Jack Point for the afternoon. Bowser’s daddy and his bestie had gone out early in the morning to set some crab traps in the deeper water. They were hunting Dungeness crabs.
Now the tide was out and it was time to retrieve the traps and hopefully find some male crabs inside that were big enough to keep.
Meanwhile, the women (and Bowser) made our way up the trail to find a picnic spot.
We hope you had a fabulous weekend and Mother’s Day as well.

P.S. the next day Bowser treated me to an afternoon of very stinky and silent crab farts 💨 😫. Oh well, I still love his smelly ole butt!
My daughter and Bowser came over one afternoon a couple of weeks ago, and a snugglefest photo shoot ensued.
We hope you are having lots of giggly snuggles this weekend.

April Showers have been bringing the May (technically, April also 😉) flowers…and some very damp walks.
Bowser and I stopped for a moment on our morning walk, to take in the beauty of the creek in spring. Please enjoy!
We hope you are staying dry this weekend.

I pick up a lot of toys at dollar stores and keep them in a box in my entryway for when Bowser is being a complete pain in the ass especially adorable. I usually go with squeaky balls (a proven performer!) but a crinkly stick-type toy caught my eye and ended up in my stash as well. And it looks like it was a hit!
We hope you are having fun with your toys, old and new, this weekend.

I swear that Bowser is some kind of closet doggy gardener because whenever I am working in my yard, he won’t leave me alone. He has the full roam of the property including my landlords’ much bigger yard but decides he must be in my business whenever he sees me with tools in hand.
My son-in-law suggested I use string in order to line up the new beds with the existing, for symmetry. This is how that went.
We hope you are having a productive weekend, with lots of peace too.

Here are some of the things we saw and did in March.
We were lucky enough to see the local Roosevelt Elk herd, in their usual spot across the creek.
We also achieved something I have been meaning to do for a very long time: walk to the Haslam Creek suspension bridge! It was a beautiful spring morning and I just didn’t want the walk to end so, after consulting the AllTrails app, we made it all the way to the bridge.
The last highlight I want to share with you was a surprise box arriving in the mail, from my youngest sister. Full of lovely treats for me, including many Schnauzer-themed gifts!
And a pair of the most adorable china mugs!
We hope your March was full of lovely experiences and surprises, and that your April is shaping up as well!

On April 3rd, the star of ye olde blogge turned 2 years old! That’s right – don’t think for a moment that I don’t know who REALLY is the main attraction at Widow Badass Industries. Ahem.
We (his parents and I) decided to take Bowser to the beach and pick up some food (from POKÉ PAGE2) along the way.
Once we got to the beach (and devoured our meal), it was time for the celebrations to begin. I may or may not have snuck Bowser some salmon, tuna, and tamago from my bowl.
Then it was time for the REAL birthday treat:
Don’t worry – we didn’t let Bowser eat the whole cookie at once. He will be enjoying pieces of it over the next number of weeks.
We hope you are taking some time to celebrate the little (and big!) things in your life.

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.
Rock on,
