Three's A Crowd

Who is that hiding in the background? Another Bernese!?!

Well, not quite. I bought this big stuffed Bernese about a year ago and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of the dogs posing with it. I had to bribe Maggie and Bosley with cookies though, otherwise they were having no part having their picture taken with a fake Bernese.

I love the look Maggie is giving it in the last picture! I went into Petland today...there are more Bernese pups in there. :(

I love it! You have the best blog ever - I always laugh when I read it! (Not to mention that I love your dogs!)

Duke wants to know if he can borrow the fake bernese. He would have a blast dragging it around the house and wrestling with it - Belle would be terrified!

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."
