Look closer!

Lurking in the undergrowth

WooZah is hiding

Bliss thinks she has found something

But WooZah is still the Bernese Hide and Seek Champion 2010!

Pet therapy

Berners, they know when you need a hug!

Proper mountain dogs

Up on the Bonsai Mountain the Berners have a drink from a rock pool

Then go climbing, proper mountain dogs!

Leader of the pack

Well I try to be!

The boys

Well two of them anyway, Rocky and Spotty watching for asthmatic rabbits.

Go and play

Rocky in his backyard

Sitting pretty

WooZah trying to look alert on the patio

Mine!

Spotty and his obsession with tree trunks took on a new twist today when he jumped into the pig pen and tried to

make off with their teething log, they like to chew this from time to time, Spotty decided he wanted it and

managed to move it from the mud before he was spotted by the pigs who made him out it back.

A quiet cuppa

A short sit down to enjoy a quick cuppa during today's labours on the smallholding.

The Berners decided they wanted to join me

and as you can see their enthusiasm

is overpowering.

Keep up!

WooZah and Blissy waiting patiently for the rest of us to catch up. Meantime Aunty Montana closes the gap at near light speed!

Top of the class!

Heres some more pics on Morgan, Reuben's brother who has just had an interesting time at puppy training classes. Here he is bathed ready to go.

Then theres Wanda keeping a firm grip on her charge as he marvels at all the different things that are called "dogs", just before being pulled into the centre of the hall, well they are cart and sled dogs so no real surprise there then.

The one next to him is almost an acceptable size, a Vishla, but Morgan has his eye on the fat hamster types .Wanda, like many of us found that these precious charges were picked up out of harms reach as her monster puppy tried to make their acquaintance. Stories abound of playful Berners at puppy classes thinking the Chihuahua is the latest squeaky toy and has been provided for their entertainment. Morgans playful advances were spurned by the toy dog brigade and they tut tutted looked on with envy as the class leaders used Morgan as their demonstration dog and posed for pictures with such a handsome lad. He really does look like he is going to be a massive Berner.

After all the hard work he's worn out and needs a bit of a nap. Bless.
