The Sunday Schnauzer – Looking Pretty

On July 16, 2023July 15, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer, Move to Dragonfly Cottage, Renovation36 Comments

Bowser here. Oma has been pretty busy the past couple of weeks so I’ve had to stay over at Mommy and Daddy’s more than I am used to, during the day. There have been big white trucks in the front yard and strangers over at Oma’s. Here is a picture of me looking good at Oma’s – she just washed her ~~kitchen~~ yum-yum room mat and I am decorating it.

~~Not so~~ Patiently waiting for you, Oma. Let’s do something fun please. At least drop something tasty!

Oma asked me to show you what she has been busy with.

It’s behind that solid door in her entry way. *The entry way is currently in the process of being renovated as well – Oma*

Here are the before/in-progress photos.

And here are the photos of after.

Walls repaired and painted, plumbing and electrical in, floor laid, baseboards done

Oma is so happy! She says now she has another useful room in her little house.

Bowser says he hopes you have time to play this weekend. Oma says she will be busy painting the entryway.

Rock on,

The Sunday Schauzer – Patio Life

On July 9, 2023July 1, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer46 Comments

When I bought my new patio furniture I knew I was going to get a lot of use and enjoyment out of it. I didn’t realize how much someone else would enjoy it as well.

Guess who hogs the best seat in the house?

These snacks are for *Book Club*. Book Club is for the *PEOPLE* who have *READ* the book. *Capisce*, Bowser?

We hope your weekend is filled with snacks and lounging in the shade.

The Sunday Schauzer – Family Trip

On July 2, 2023June 28, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer28 Comments

Last Sunday the whole pack went on a road trip to see Bowser’s “other” grandparents for their birthdays (only 1 day apart!). Grandma Judy suggested we go for a walk on a trail she had discovered nearby.

Bowser’s other grandmother points out our route.

Bowser trying to figure out how to get down to the river.

Bowser says it is important to stay hydrated!

Checking out the ~~street~~ *forest* art on some abandoned buildings along the trail.

Post-hike Bowser. *Chillin’ like a villain*.

We hope your weekend has some fun walks and some chill times too. Happy Canada Day long weekend, to my fellow Canadians!

The Sunday Schnauzer – Play Hard, Nap Harder

On June 25, 2023June 24, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer23 Comments

I’ve said it many times and it still holds true: A tired doggo is a good doggo.

Bowser loves pillows. Which is a good thing, because I have lots.

Bowser really knows how to nap like a boss doggo.

We hope you are having a boss doggo type of weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – New Gear

On June 18, 2023May 28, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer20 Comments

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

On June 11, 2023May 27, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer23 Comments

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.

We hope you are having a restful weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Squeaky Toys Part 1

On June 4, 2023May 27, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer32 Comments

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.

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.

A few hours later…

Back home again…

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

The Sunday Schnauzer – Where’s His Head?

On May 21, 2023May 20, 2023 By Widow BadassIn Adventures with dogs, Bowser the Schnauzer38 Comments

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…)

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.

Rock on,

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).
