Snowed In!

OK, so we are not actually snowed in, but there is a lot of snow out there. It is one of those spring snow storms that the dogs love, but that I could do without.

Maggie surveys the snow from her favorite perch at the top of the stairs.

Bolsey loves to tunnel through the snow with his nose.

Bolsey relaxing and enjoying the white stuff.

Bosley thinks it tastes good too.

I hope that the dogs enjoy their last snow of the season. Soon it will be summer and too hot for them to want to go outside and play.

I think we all will be sooo excited about snow if it does snow in Malaysia one day. What a miracle that would be!

Love licks,

An Extraordinary Dog For Extraordinary People

"The Bernese Mountain Dog is different from most other dogs in many respects. Take his size, for example. Everything about a fully grown Bernese is big and strong, massive and mighty; his body, his paws, his teeth , his tongue, his tail,his emotions, his responses, his will, his good, and when they exist, not-so-good habits. Anyone who wants to adopt a Berner needs to think large. A Berner cannot be carried to the vet's in a basket; a struggling Berner cannot be pulled along on a leash; a fully-grown Bernese cannot be forced into a down position by the use of a hand-or even two. A Berner cannot be bathed in a sink, scooped up with an arm, or lifted across a puddle. A Berner slurps water with a bigger tongue from a bigger bowl (and thus slobbers more water on his folks); his coat takes longer to brush; he must go for longer walks. A Berner's paw leaves bigger , deeper, muddier tracks in the house, in flowerbeds, in the car, and on clothes; he shakes off more water upon entering the house after a hike in the rain; his tail wags with greater strength at a higher lever; he barks less frequently, but louder. A Berner bounces more merrily, mourns more deeply, sulks more sadly, resists more strongly, clings more closely, and loves more intensely. A Berner Sennenhund requires more than the little finger. He needs the whole hand, no both hands; no, still not enough. A Berner needs the total person."
