Hello everyone

Apparently this week is "International Friendship Week" so I just popped in to say HI to all my International friends as well as my home ones.

Delsin

I have been following Delsin's blog and he was at Westminster Dog Show this week. I thought he would do very well but unfortunately he woz robbed. That judge needs to go to "specsavers". The best in show was a Pekingese so I think that says everything. Here is the link to see him in action, he is number 12.

I also think he should have had bonus points for being the oldest there (9 1/2 years, wow). He definitely looks good for his age. I hope he enjoyed himself despite not winning.

It was the most BORING day of all.

Well it was show time again today. I didn't do very well at all but mummy didn't tell me off like some of the others do. Don't like it when the other dogs get told off for doing badly, it's not fair. I did meet several new dogs this time as well as all my old friends.

A woman came up to me and asked if I was the Dolyhir dog from the Rock, I was really surprised, she told me that Reuben was her dog. Well I wasn't impressed, I don't like Reuben since he bit my daddy, so I stuck my nose in the air and ignored her.

There were 2 new Tangyachates there, both beautiful. The girl Whisper To Me beat the pants off me, pushed me into 4th and I got nobbled by Night Night's mummy (she rustled her bag and I thought she had treats for me) which meant I only got 2nd (entered 2 catagories). It was so cold there and I was so bored as they did all the boys first so we had to wait until after lunch. Mummy forgot the camera but she did take a photo of me being groomed (posh word for bathed). I also saw my grandad, Dexter, again.

Snow time.....

 

 Lots of lovely snow, everywhere.

Roll in it, eat it, chase it and get totally covered in it.

Lots of new friends to play with.

 Mummy didn't take me to the woods as she didn't know how bad it would be there but I did have great fun in the park.

I met an old labrador who had a bright green ball, easy to find that in the snow.

After playing in the snow mummy took me to the pet store and I got lots of fusses and bikits. Mummy bought me a harness so when I go for a walk now I wont have to use a lead which will be a lot nicer on my neck. She also said I wont have to wear my collar either so no more rough fur around my neck. That will be very good for when we go to shows as at the moment mummy has to comb it lots to get it looking good.

Mummy took some video on her phone of me having a "mental moment" in the snow. I hope it plays ok.

It's here.

Finally the snow is here. Yippee!! Can't wait until tomorrow and I can go out for a long walk and play and dig in the snow. I love snow, love it so much. Maybe if I'm very good tonight mummy might drive me to the woods so I can run and play to my hearts content.

New allotment

Mummy has got herself an allotment, so today we went to try and clear it up. It is very overgrown but it does have a lovely little stream running along side it. I spent most of the day wading in the water, not helping mummy. I didn't like the fire, it was hot and I started steaming. Mummy said she wont take me back until I can learn to behave and stop running off, but I was so bored, much rather stay at home and chew my bone and dream of Jesse.

Below is a photo of the allotment..... now you understand.

Sorry pups it's all MINE!!!

 

Yep, look at it and weep. It's mine, all mine. Not sharing this one.

I will dream send the taste to you Jesse, just coz I luvs you, but you're not getting your paws on it.

Intruders!!!!

Well it all kicked off here today, we had two intruders in my garden. They drank from my pond and then had the cheek to nick food that was for the birds. Mummy got a photo of one of them leaving the garden, then she let me out, well I had to tell them they weren't allowed back didn't I.

I've been lazy!!

Well I have been very lazy lately, not keeping up with blogging, but I did remember to remind mummy to get batteries for the camera. So at last I can show you my birthday cake from way back when I had my second birthday.

The cake was very yummy and I got to eat it all by myself. Mummy also took me for a walk today, it was only a short one and we didn't get to go to the pet shop on the way back. I like going into the pet shop as they give me biscuits and have a water bowl to refresh myself. Will have to try and get some photos with my friends from there to show you.

Most of the pictures mummy got of me today were of my bottom. She blames me and the camera, me because I don't keep still and the camera because it takes ages to take the picture. I think she needs one of those new ones that takes the picture before you press the button (not sure how that works but I'm sure I can beat it).

We met a woman and kid in the park. She asked if I was a Rottweiler cross. Cheek of her. No I said, I'm a Bernese Mountain Dog. She needs to clean her ears out as she then said "oh a BURMESE, beautiful". I get so bored of having to repeat myself, so I didn't. I just sniggered behind her back. I mean BURMA, way too hot there for the likes of me.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Hope it's a good one for you all. Hope you all stay healthy and happy. It's raining out again today, so no walkies. Hopefully the weather will get better soon so mummy can take me back to the woods again. We went the other day and I nearly caught a squirrel.

Happy Yule

Happy Yule to everyone. I know it was yesterday but mummy was working and didn't get time so we are having it today. She has bought a big turkey and I am going to get the neck and giblets.....Yum! She bought me a couple of presents too. I got a reindeer to chew and a backpack to carry my stuff in when we go for a walk. Daddy got a new chair but didn't buy mummy anything, even I forgot, but I did buy daddy a book. I also got a calendar from my real mummy and daddy. Mummy has to go and see grandad in hospital before we can do anything else, he really isn't well.

Happy Christmas for Sunday to all you out there that celebrate Christmas. Hope you get lots of pressies.

Bored!!!!

So totally BORED today. It's raining out so don't want to go for a walk, instead I'm lying here dreaming of SNOW. Love snow. Hurry up and come. Last year was the best. We had loads of snow here, really deep and daddy even took me out to play in it. Hope mummy takes me to the woods when it does snow, that was the best walk I've had and I'm sure it will be even better in the snow. Think I might stay here for a while and dream about that.

The Bestest walk EVER!!!!

Mummy took me out for a walk yesterday. We went by car, past the Heath and on 'till we got to the woods. By this time I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. We walked down a path until we got to a board and mummy asked if I wanted to go on the "blue" walk or "red" walk. I chose red and we set off following the red markers. There were houses on our right whose gardens backed onto the woods. Wow, lucky people, how I would like to live in one of those. We came to one garden which had some really strange animals in.

We carried on down the path a long way, round bends, up hills, down hills and then we came to a five way crossroads and the markers dissapeared. Well which way did we need to go? We didn't know so we carried on as if we were in a circle, but we still didn't find any red markers. Now I was begining to get worried, were we lost? I couldn't smell any red markers but I could smell lots of squirels and they wouldn't tell me where we were.

We walked for ages, lost in the woods, then all of a sudden mummy spotted a red marker at the top of a very steep bank. I made it up easily but mummy, well, I laughed so hard I thought my sides were going to split. When mummy finaly made it to the top, and I stopped laughing I pointed out that the red marker was pointing down to the path we had just come from, but, that it sloped gently down a few yards on. No need to scramble up any steep slopes.

Finally back on the red path, we came to the picnic area. From here we found our way back out of the woods and back to the car. It was such fun I think next time mummy will have to bring a picnic and we can stay for longer. May be the strange bird might talk to me next time, apparently it's a wood pecker.

Pressie for mummy



I bought mummy a pressie today from e-bay. Been looking out for all things Berner for her as I know she loves us all. We put it up in the window to warn burglers that I'm here and they don't even want to think about breaking in. Mind you I think my bark might be enough to warn them off.

It has made mummy a bit happier. She's been EXASPERATED this week. We have got workmen in putting solar panels on the roof. The panels went up very well but the same could not be said about the electricians wiring it in. Well!!!!!! what a mess. Mummy's been ripping her hair out. They still haven't finished and she doesn't know when they are coming back to finish. I think I will hide under the table when they do as "sparks are gonna fly", not the electrical type but mummy type, and that's scary. The last time I saw these "sparks" fly was when mummy picked me up from the vets and I was covered in vomit and poo. Well I hid then so did most of the vets and a lot of the dogs waiting left.

Jesse

Happy Birthday Jess. Wish I was there celebrating with you. I'm thinking of you here, have my party hat on and I'm thought flying this pressie over to you. Are you getting it, it's coming through now.............. it's  a BONE!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday!! Big kisses XXXXX

Its Christmas.

You all gotta watch this. Wow. Mummy wont let me help decorate the tree just incase I break something and hurt myself but these dogs are brilliant.

Walkies

Mummy took me for a walk over the Heath, so I had a good sniff around and found evidence of bunnies. I didn't manage to find any actual bunnies, but I know they are there. I found their poop and left a deposit of mine so now they know to "watch out Fizzy's about". He he!!

The only problem was that mummy picked it up and made me wait whilst she put it in the bin. I was very good and didn't move so I got a treat when she came back. I like treats. Mummy has bought me a very special one for Yuletide. It is called an Advent Calender and has treats in it behind windows that you open each day during December.

Its not a very good photo but you can see that it is very special, it's only for Berners. I asked mummy if we could send one to Jesse in America but she didn't know his address but I'm sure he'd love it. I will think of you Jesse whilst I'm munching on the treats inside.

Paintings

Not been up to much lately. Been out on walkies every day, meeting new friends and Coco who everyone seems to think I am just because we are both Berners.
Mummy found a program on the net that changes photos into paintings, she's gone mad with it and thought every picture she has had to be changed, along with all the pictures from every other site there is. So I thought i'd share this one with you. I think it's Spotty along with some very yummy looking mushrooms.

Halloween

Well it was Halloween again the other night. Thank goodness mummy didn't make me wear any silly costume. I helped carve the pumpkins and put them out, then tried to eat all the sweets but mummy wouldn't let me as she said it would make me sick.

There were lots of monsters and witches that kept ringing the doorbell and I barked at them all to tell them to go away but mummy kept opening the door and giving them the sweets. I got a lot of strokes so the monsters can't be all that bad.

Looking forward to next year, maybe someone might bring me some sweets instead.
