I think we have another velcro-Berner in the making! 

Snuggling

Kodo-sister trial

We have a second Berner in the house this week!  She is a 1.5-ish year old girl, one blue eye, about 65 or 70 pound (which looks amazingly tiny next to Kodo!  :)   ).  We are doing a trial to see if she gets along ok with us, our schedules, Kodo, and the cats, with plans to adopt her if everything works out OK and the current owners give us the thumbs-up at the end of that time.  Brian has a week off work, so it will make for a good transitioning period too. 

She has settled in really well in just one day, coming up to us for attention, giving kisses, and even asking for tummy rubs a time or two.  She is a little afraid of the Kimi-cat- Kimi hissed and swatted at her when she was trying to cat-sniff, so I don't think they will ever be buddies.  Kim and Kodo are the same way though, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.  Pippin-cat keeps trying to be friends with her, but she veers off every time he gets too close.. She has gotten the hang of inside and outside very well, seems to enjoy exploring the yard.  She likes the crate we set up, and under the kitchen table- seems to prefer 'caves'.

This is what happens when I go out of town for a week:

Fourth birthday (or a little after)

Since we had decent weather the week before Christmas and Brian had the week off, he and Kodo went on some adventures. Here is Kodo posing in one of his favorite Metroparks spots:

Stuffie surgery complete!

Kodo's favorite stuffie-pillow needs frequent trips to surgery to repair split seams. He is always so happy when he gets it back!
