The Sunday Schnauzer – New Gear

Bowser’s momma bought him a new harness and leash.

The harness is a beautiful fluorescent orange.

The leash may be new, but Bowser already knows he gets to carry it to the end of our street.

The new gear is working well.

The harness provides a sharp contrast between dog and environment.

Sorry, Bowz…you no longer blend right in!

Luckily, Bowser doesn’t even care. Just so long as he can be out adventuring!

We hope you find some adventure this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Squeaky Toys Part 2

Too many cute photos of Bowser playing with his toys to put them all in one post, so I decided to break it up into 2 parts. (Plus I am out of town this weekend so I had to work ahead!)

His “other” favourite: blue squeaky ball.
Tossing and catching the blue squeaky. I love how he amuses himself this way.
Resting, with both squeakies nearby.

We hope you are having a restful weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Squeaky Toys Part 1

Lucky Bowser got a new squeaky toy because his mommy and I shopped at PetSmart while he was at the doggy spa last week. This dog LOVES his squeaky toys, more than any other schnauzer I have known. They must scratch his prey drive itch.

Bowser with his latest squeaky: the purple donut. He is taking it from my yard to his own.
Must shake!
Pure bliss.
I swear I do not pose this dog.

We hope you find your bliss this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Glow-up

Someone is a shaggy mess.

I’m shaggy and I like to lay in dirt. So what?!

Someone is heading to the doggy spa.

The magicians at the dog spa have their work cut out for them.
Mommy, must I?

A few hours later…

All fresh and clean and newly-shorn!

Back home again…

I swear he is posing for us!
Bowser says I taste as good as I look!

We hope you make time for some self-care this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Where’s His Head?

It’s been unseasonably hot here on the island this past week. Bowser and I retreat to the coolest, darkest room in the house during the heat of midday, when there is little shade to be found outside.

Where did his head go???? (Bettie Page the Kitchen Aid is on the floor because I had to clear off the counters so my kitchen backsplash could be FINALLY installed. Still no baseboards. Another project for another day…)
Wait, are those whiskers I spy?
Yep. There’s his head. Bowser likes to hang it off of the bed when he sleeps. Weirdo.
I always rest easier when his head is firmly placed on the day bed. Mommy is taking him to the groomer next week for a long awaited doggy spa day. Hoorah!

We hope you are beating the heat (if it’s hot where you are) and staying warm (if it’s not). Enjoy the long weekend if you’re lucky enough to be having one. We are.

The Sunday Schnauzer – I Still Like Big Sticks

Bowser here. Oma said I could write another dog blog since she’s been busy with a friend from The East (where Oma lived when she was a pup and where she had her pups).

We had just come back from walkies and Oma took this picture because she said I looked especially cute.

Oma and Mommy were talking outside, so I went to find myself something to do.

I found this great stick. So I dragged it to where Oma and Mommy were sitting so I could listen in case they were talking about me protect them from ne’er do wells.

Even though I am a big dog now – with big dog teeth – I still love to chew, especially on wood or cardboard.

Pure bliss.

I hope you find your bliss this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Sleepover, Again?

Bowser invited himself over one night, after his Mommy and Daddy were back from their trip.

Suddenly he was at my patio door, in the dark and in the rain. Of course I let him in.

Make yourself at home, why don’t you? I see you brought a friend in as well.

I texted my daughter to let her know that her dog showed up at my place. Then about an hour later, I texted her again to say he was still here. She asked me if he was going to stay the night. So I asked him. And the answer was yes, apparently.

The next morning…

Sometimes your house guest just doesn’t want to leave. Luckily Bowser seldom wears out his welcome.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy any unexpected guests that drop in.

The Sunday Schauzer – Snugglebug, Part 2

The first couple of nights that Bowser’s parents were on vacation, he would not sleep in my bed. I think because he was waiting for them to come over from their place and take him home. He slept on either the couch or the daybed, or in his doggy bed. The 3rd night (and every night thereafter) he decided finally, that it was OK to sleep on my bed.

Yes, he had to bring a squeaky ball to bed with him.

Then, in the morning the snugglefest began.

Eventually, I had to drag myself away from all the cuteness and start the day.

Well, at least one of us started our day! 🤣

We hope you are enjoying a lazy weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Snugglebug, Part 1

I found out when caring for Bowser full-time just how much of a snugglebug he is in the mornings. I’d be at the computer and he would beg to be picked up and held. Of course – your wish is my command! 🤣

Note to self: run a damn comb through your hair first next time, OK?

Wait, says Bowser. Let me answer one more email!

I decided to mimic his yawn AND take this picture. Not sure why.

Heavy is the head that wears the doggy crown.

So many cute closeups of my pal! Makes my blogger’s heart very happy.

Have a happy weekend!

The Sunday Schnauzer – April Showers

The Easter weekend was mostly a rainy one. But we didn’t let that stop us!

Bowser is off and running, leash in mouth.

Bowser says: Try and keep up, Oma!

The trails were…ahem…a delight. 😉

Bowser was not the only one getting soaked.

Home again, and ready to dry off and put the kettle on!

We hope you are staying dry and cozy, no matter the weather!

Rock on,
