We had some snow this week. Early and atypical for Vancouver Island. Bowser had not seen snow before now, and I think he kinda liked it 😉.
We hope you are having a fabulous weekend no matter the weather.

Bowser was pretty excited for his first Halloween Howl’oween. He wanted to get into costume right away!
But it was such a beautiful morning, we just had to get out for a romp.
Followed by this:
Finally it was time to get things ready for the kiddos. I got to use my new firebowl for the first time.
Our street was pretty dark and scary. We are surrounded by 3 mobile home parks so that’s where the bulk of the kids went (higher efficiency in candy scrounging 😉). We could hear them laughing and screaming but only 4 intrepid souls came to our yard all night.
Still, we enjoyed a pleasant Howl’oween by the fire.

Oma is building a new bed for her den bedroom.
I get to do this again when Oma’s desk comes (in boxes). Yippee!!!
I hope you are having a good weekend and maybe helping too.

Hi everybody! Bowser here. Oma is really tired from all of her moving and renovating stuff and she said I could write another blog post. Yippeee! And she got me a cute little bed for when I am visiting. I jumped into it right away, as soon as I saw it. Oma didn’t even have to explain it was for me…that’s how smart of a dog I can be am!
And of course, she did take it away. She always takes away certain things from me. Luckily I have a den full of other things to chew the shit out of play with.
I hope you have lots of toys to keep you busy this weekend.

A few days before I was set to leave for the mainland to help my sister move, Bowser and I hit the trails. It was going to be such a gorgeous fall day, I was tempted to try him out on the longest walk yet in his young life: the Cable Bay Trail and Dodd’s Narrows. It ended up being about a 6K walk (and of course it was more like 8 – 10K for Bowz because I let him off-leash when there was no one around). He loved it!
We hope you are enjoying a fabulous fall (if in the Northern Hemisphere – otherwise, Happy Spring!).

Hi everybody! Bowser here. Oma is super busy tired and cranky so she said I could write this post. Lucky me!
First I want to show you my new haircut. Yup, I got my first “grooming” right before I went to the Vet for something? I don’t know what it was because I was so sleepy but I went home with a funny thing tied to my head. Anyways, that is gone now and I hope I never have to wear it again.
I hope you find some favourite things to do this weekend. Happy Thanksgiving Long Weekend to my Canadian pack!

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.
Rock on,
The Bowz 🐾
