The Sunday Schnauzer – More Rainy Day(s) Fun

Photos taken the same weekend as last Sunday’s post.

The rain just kept on coming – non-stop for 3 days! We were lucky to not have to go anywhere and to not experience any flooding. Unfortunately, a lot of people on the mainland were flooded out by the atmospheric river.

But for us, it was a couch potato weekend, for sure. My daughter sent me these photos of their Sunday morning with Bowser.

Lounging on the couch, slowly coming to life on this rainy morning.
Mommy is amusing herself by styling Bowser’s hair.
Bowser does not look very amused.
Going down for another nap is his defence maneuver, I guess! 🤣

Hopefully you have drier weather where you are and can get off the couch!

The Sunday Schnauzer – My Favourite Jedi Knight

Last weekend we experienced an atmospheric river. Did that stop us from heading out for walkies? Not on your nelly! Did we get drenched? Absolutely. Did we have fun? Absolutely. Did Bowser need to be wrapped up and snuggled, post-drenching? Absolutely!

Bowser loves to be rubbed down after a wet walk – he actually runs towards the towel I have hung up in my entryway for this purpose – and then he loves to be wrapped up in a soft blankie and cuddled on the couch. Our little Obi-Wan Dogobi.
Trapped by The Force…er…Bowser’s superpower of cuteness! Luckily I can still work my phone’s camera with my non-dominant hand.
Even Jedi knights need to recharge. It wasn’t long before I joined Bowser in a post-rainy walk snoozefest😉.

May The Force be with you!

The Sunday Schnauzer – Walktober 2024

Last weekend was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and it was a glorious weekend for walking along our usual routes. Many leaves had fallen due to recent wind and rain events, and our walks were a feast for the senses. The crunch of the leaves, the fresh smells of the earth and the vegetation, the feel of the sun warming up our bodies – it was everything to be expected from October walks in the woods.

Meanwhile, I was looking for and found lots of these beauties!
My favourite, scruffy little beauty.

Happy dog, happy life…especially in October.

I’m linking up this post with Dawn’s for her 2024 Walktober.

We hope you are having a great weekend wherever you are, and that you are able to enjoy being outside.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Forest Shenanigans

I was away last weekend, having a fabulous time in Bamfield (more about that to come on ye olde blogge!). While I was away, my daughter sent me this photo:

The Green Man and His Green Dog

This photo perfectly captures the spirits of both my son-in-law and Bowsie, I think 😁.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend (if you’re Canadian), and a wonderful plain ol’ weekend if you’re not!

The Sunday Schnauzer – Feelin’ Cute; Missin’ Oma (AGAIN ALREADY)

Bowser here. Oma is away again (ALREADY?!?!), swimming with sea stars or some such thing. I’m sure she’s gonna tell you all about it when she comes back home. WHEN, OMA, WHEN?

In the meantime, here are some cute pictures of me:

After a walk in the rain.
Just laying around at Oma’s.
With my new favourite ballie. I haven’t been able to get the squeaker out yet, which is amazing the rest of my pack. They are desperate to find more of these wonder ballies.

I hope you like my pictures.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Signs of Autumn

Back on “my” island, back to the usual routines…including daily walks with the star of Ye Olde Blogge:

Every walk starts out this way.
Leaves are piling up on the trail.
These guys are popping up in the woods again.
Dried leaves everywhere we go.
And I mean EVERYWHERE 😁.
Even though the temperatures have dropped, our walks are still thirsty work.
And every walk still ends the same way too!

We hope you are enjoying the change of seasons this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – What’s That, You Say?

Bowser here. Last time Mommy took me to the torture place groomer, she told them to shave everything off.

The reveal!

Now she finally understands why I am so stubborn have selective hearing trouble listening.

You expect these tiny nacho chips to capture every word you say?!?! (And you all say A LOT.)

The truth has been revealed: I have the daintiest ears anyone in my pack has ever seen on a schnauzer.

Also: Does this haircut make my butt look big?

Rock on,

The Sunday Schnauzer – Dog Days of Summer

Note: The Widow Badass Blog is going on a bit of a blogging break, starting next week. I’ll be back mid-September. Looking forward to resuming my regular posting schedule then!

After a busy morning of walkies, barking at those who dare to walk down our street and chasing ballies, comes a lazy afternoon. Especially during these dog days of summer

Bowser loves just flopping down on my wool rug. I can’t blame him. It is rather nice on the feet. Pardon me while I admire my fresh pedicure 😉.
Bowser wakes up and moves to his dog bed.
Out again…for now.
The rug is still his most preferred spot. He seems to have abandoned my couch, at least while the dog days are happening.

We hope you find a comfy spot to relax this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – The Weakest Link

Who is the weakest link in our family? It varies from person to person and day to day, but based on recent evidence I think I know who the current titleholder is. Here are some photos, from a recent outing to the local gelato place.

Raspberry rhubarb gelato? Don’t mind if I do…
Just how long IS Bowser’s tongue?!?!
THAT long, apparently!

If you guessed that the current weakest link is Mr. I Don’t Know If I Can Get Used To A Small Dog; I’ve Only Ever Had Big Dogs, you would be 100% correct 😉.

We hope there are cool treats in your weekend plans.

Rock on,
