Pesky Sister

Yawns are Contagious

Christmas morning

Queen of Christmas..

.. in her bed of wrapping paper.  Peculiar little dog!  :)

Couch again

Not spoiled, not at all, nope, nope, NOPE!!!!

Dog Bed Competition

So who is going to get the giant orthopedic-foam dog bed? The tiny-Berner who takes up less than half but LOVES soft places?

 

 

 The giant Berner who fits perfectly and is getting older joints but tends to prefer cold tile to sleep on anyway?

 

 

 ORRRRRR......

 

New Stuffie!

Well, at least it squeaks nicely when I poke it with my nose.

Sleepy princess

Berner-selfies!

It was selfie-day on the Bernese Worldwide Facebook group.  So here are pics of me and the babies!

 

Moose:

 

 

And Squirrel! 

 

New toy in the toybox!

Great Pumpkin 5K

Dogs were observers only for this one.  Here they are waiting patiently for their mom to finish running.

More fall: the Bear sessions

Enjoying Fall

Let me sing you the songs of my people

Tennis balls..

..not just for dogs anymore!

Fast Berner!

Tali at the finish line of her first official 5K race!  She managed a 12:17 overall pace, which is pretty good for her.

130-lb Lapdog

Sits on my lap making goofy faces at me:

 

 

Flops dramatically on his side and stares despairingly at the ceiling. 

 

 

Full belly for armpit scratches! 

 

 

Why'd you stop, mom? 

 

 

 

 

Stuffie-romp

The cool weather has definitely bumped the old man's activity levels up! He managed to tease his little sister into a grape-stuffie-romp again this morning.

Tiny-Berner shower

Morning play

Only time Kodo ever goes after the toys anymore is when he wants to tease her to play with him:

 

And it works!  Flip-book below:

 

Going on a bender

"Should auld acquaintance be forgot.."  They look like they got very drunk together and are staggering down the road, leaning on each other and trying to sing.

Ecstasy of rolling

Afternoon sun

Well-trained

Can't hear me calling them to 'leave it!' or 'come inside!', but they can hear someone biting into an apple from the opposite end of the house.

Another one down

It is great that I found a toy that I can get her to run with.  But she has an unfortunate tendency to *crunch* it as she runs back.  2 Frisbees have now given their lives.  And she won't play with the soft rubber Kong one. 

Couch bunny

Someone sneaking in some couch time.  She knows I can't tell her to get down when she looks that cute.

Playing

For some reason, right after dinner has evolved into romp time with the two goofs.

 

 

This time Tali managed to coax Kodo into playing tug with her with the grape stuffie.  He doesn't do toys much anymore, but I think he was winning this one.

 

 

 

And then they noticed mom on the floor taking pictures.  "Hi mom!!  Whatcha doing?  Can I help?"
