We are Schroeder and Marilla. This account is about life with the cutest, if worst behaved dogs in Ashburton, New Zealand.
We have two great humans who look after us, and while they could definitely up their cheese game, they're pretty good folk.
Dog traveling tip: In the absence of your normal dog bed, laying in the long grass can be a viable option.

Marilla's Log: It's been ages since I ventured into the blanket cave. Now, I have once again emerged into the sunlight.
How long have I been lost in these catacombs? Weeks, months, a lifetime?
Soon I must find my long lost brother...but first I'd like some chicken jerky.

Schroeder: We ordered ages ago!
Marilla: Do you think they forgot about our pizza?
HuMan: Guys, the staff haven't even left our table yet!
Marilla: I think I'm gonna make a formal complaint.

*giggle* The human was setting up for a landscape shot when I decided my butt should also be in the shot!

Me-gonnet huMan!

This is Angus. We never got to meet him. Our huMan says Angus was his best friend, despite being a bully to his brother Wally.
Angus used to eat poop. Apparently he was a poop connoisseur.🤢

One of our family's greatest joys was to create the BarkBack show when we were on Instagram. It allowed us to create so many wonderful friendships who shared in celebrating our dear Wally and his grumpy persona.

Today marks six years since Wally died.
He was an anchor of brilliance that proved that no matter how difficult life could become, there is always goodness and happiness somewhere within it.

That stream at the beginning of the walk is looking mighty good right now!

Don't get me wrong...the rabbit poop out here is good, but did you know they actually have home-made dog treats back there in town!

My huMan turned me into a paint-by-number canvas!

Just remember, when it comes to Dog of the Day, it was Schroeder who rolled in possum poo and now me.

Our humans took us to Lake Emma, one of Ashburton lakes. We got to go on a big hike and went for a swim!
Then we went to The Staveley Store where the huMan shared a bit of his sour cream from his corn fritter lunch!
Then we all had a big-O nap before heading to the off-leash park.

Like everyone on the Internet, our humans asked chatgpt what we would like like as humans.
How do you think it did?

Schroeder: knock-knock?
Owl: who
Schroeder: no, you say "Who's There." Let's try it again. ... Knock-knock?
Owl: who
Schroeder: *exasperated sigh*
