Very Berner weekend

We took Kodo to the dog park Friday evening. It was really hard to find a parking spot in the lot since the Avon Lake Saddle Club (we think) was having a big horse show in the field next to the dog park. Kodo of course loves watching the horses as we walk in.. Well after we had been at the park for about an hour, a couple came in with two Berners and a golden retriever! The one Berner was an adult, but the other was a puppy- I think they said 6-8 months? He was definitely in the gangly fuzzy-headed stage and too cute for words- made me want another puppy so badly! Kodo played with them a bit, and the puppy followed him around the field and tried to go with him when we left to take him home.
Then Saturday morning I took Kodo for his walk in the park. We came around a corner on the all-purpose trail, and who should be coming around the corner toward us but a young man walking another Berner! This was one I hadn't met in the park before. Turns out his name was Amos (I think), he was around Kodo's age, and he and Kodo got along great! They were hopping and bowing and bouncing around in circles in the middle of the path while the guy and I talked. Amos? was actually about Kodo's size too, which is unusual. I got some belly-rubbing in on him too before we went our separate ways.. :)
