The Sunday Schnauzer – Napping

On By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer, Uncategorized42 Comments

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:

Here’s how it started.
And here’s how it ended.

Another day, another nap:

Now that the weather has finally heated up and we’re a bit older, this is the preferred nap strategy:

I am on high alert, waiting for Bowser to roll off the couch. My other grand-dog (back in Ontario) broke a front leg when just a pup by leaping off a couch, and I don’t want a repeat. No rest for Oma!
This seems marginally safer…
This started out as a stretch, but then he just stayed that way. Weirdo.
The head must hang off the end of the couch, always.

And finally, the car nap:

This doggy car seat is the best.

Rock and nap on,

The Early Dog Gets The Worm

On By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer51 Comments

Hey Humans! Oma said I could write on her thing called a blog, so I guess that makes this a dog blog or a pup post or something like that. I want to tell you about my exciting day today! Last week I discovered something very interesting under a big leafy plant Oma called a hosta…Oma said the very interesting thing I found was a worm. I had so much fun throwing it around and chewing on it that I’ve been on the hunt for more ever since. And today I hit the jackpot!

Not only did I find a worm, but it was dead! Oh boy, oh boy…what a day! What a time I had with my worm!

This is my precious the worm I found. Isn’t it great? It smells so good I just can’t get enough of it.
I had to roll and roll and roll all over it.
Part of it was still in the ground. I had so much fun pulling it out so I could chew it and throw it around and roll on it some more.
Best Day Ever! Amiright???
Just a dog and his worm…the good life!
This is a picture of Oma watching me play with my worm. I bet she wishes she had one too. She looks kinda jealous to me.

Maybe next time I should share my worm with Oma? What do you think?

Rock (and roll…all over your worm, if you get one) on,

The Bowz 🐾

Bowser, Wowser, Mini Schnauzer

I have a new grand doggy in my life. Bowser is an 8 week old Miniature Schnauzer puppy. He was named after the first Vancouver Island community his new Mom and Dad moved to. Plus it’s gotta be because it rhymes with schnauzer, doncha think? I am looking in on him during the day, while his parents go to work to keep him in toys and treats. Here’s a few words (and pictures) from His Royal Cuteness:

I am trying hard to be a goodest boy. Oma says I am a work in progress.
I love my new bed but…
…not as much as I love Oma’s lap.
Oma says she feels trapped but I know she loves it.
I love being outside too. Oma is always nearby to make sure I don’t get snatched up by an eagle or owl.
So many sticks and fir cones to chew on. Oma says bite these, not her please.
I am getting so good at walkies.
I walk best with my tongue out, just a little bit.
Walkies can be tiring. Oma says good!

Rock on,

The WB
