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!

p.s. I just upgraded to the newest version of WordPress and now my images don’t seem to allow captioning anymore. 😩

The Sunday Schauzer – I Helps In The Garden

Oma said I could write this post as she is busy with “the garden”, whatever that means. I want to help in the garden too.

I saw this toy that Oma and Mommy were gonna play with, so I want to join in the fun too.
Oma and Mommy were beckoning me to come over so I did.
Whatcha guys doin’?
Oh, you want me to drop it here?
I don’t think so. I think you should chase me. That is the best game we can play in the garden, doncha think?

I think I was a good garden helper. Mommy and Oma were laughing a lot. That’s helping, right?

I hope you laugh a lot too!

Rock on,

The Sunday Schnauzer – Happy Spring!

There is something new just past the entrance to the trail.

Bowser noticed right away. What are those?!?!

People tend to throw their yard waste into this area as it looks untended and abandoned. (Actually it is owned and/or managed by a logging company.) This means that any bulbs that are discarded in the waste have a good chance of coming up…blooming where they are “planted”, as it were!

I happened to catch Bowser mid-nose lick. No, he wasn’t thinking of eating them but we both enjoyed looking at the flowers and also, being out in the bright sunshine!

Hoping the weather is bright and warm wherever you are this weekend.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Haircut

Bowser’s momma took him to the “spa” recently. And then snapped this shot.

Looking jaunty, with a stick from the yard. Snow is basically all gone.
Trimmed up nicely, yet still retaining that ragamuffin charm (post-walk, hence the wet legs).

Note: I did not pose him for the 2nd photo. He did that all by himself, and luckily my phone was close to hand.

Have a lovely weekend (what’s left of it), and don’t forget to “spring forward” with your clocks.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Badass and the Snow Dog, Part 2

The day after the big snow dump, the sun came out and so did we!

Let’s go, Oma!
Got leash; will travel!
A lot of snow fell, but it’s still snow problem for the Bowz.
Will nothing stop this pupper? 🤣
Apparently he is unstoppable.
Oh, Bowser! Never change.
Another beautiful walk in the snowy woods.

All of this snow is not typical for where I live but I have to say I am enjoying it.

We hope you are having an enjoyable weekend where you are.

The Sunday Schnauzer – Badass and the Snow Dog*, Part 1

*Riffing off of the Rush song: By-Tor and the Snow Dog. The first time I listened to this album was when I was introduced to tequila shots, at a friend’s house. I don’t listen to this album anymore nor have I done tequila shots since (Does this even need further explanation as to why?!? 🤣).

This album came out in 1975 so that means I was tossing back tequila at 16 years old 🥴. Kids of today, don’t follow my lead. Do better!

It snowed this past week.

The sun tried desperately to break through.
Bowser says: This is snow problem for me, Oma!
The snow was so heavy, it bent over all the bare trees.
It was a gorgeous day to be out in the falling snow.
Bowser: There’s horse poop under here somewhere. I remember from yesterday. I want a poopsicle! (Spoiler: I didn’t let him dig any poop up.)
Bowser quickly doubled his weight with the snow he was carrying on his legs 😉.
It didn’t seem to affect his enjoyment of the day at all, though.
Nope, not one bit!
Bowser wasn’t the only one enjoying our snowy day outing.

We hope you are enjoying your weather, whatever it happens to be.

Rock on,
