Berners In The Snow

Maggie and Bosley love the snow. Luckily for them, we had a big spring snowfall a couple days ago. They are truly in their element in the snow.

Bosley is sure spring is in the air.

Maggie sprinting across the yard.

Mmmm . . . snow.

Bosley spends much of his time eating the snow or tunneling through it.

Snowball fight. Maggie loves trying to catch snowballs I throw to her.

Pretty Maggie.

There is nothing like an "I love the snow" smile.

Great shots, Kim! There's nothing that raises one's spirits more than to see a Berner having so much fun in the snow!

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."
