HPD update

HPD aka Harvey Puppy Dog is loving life in the midlands where he carefully coats himself in the offerings from foxes.

Berner bathtime for the stinky boy

turns him back into a splendid example of the Dolyhir Clan.

As good as new...almost

The Rockmeister is making a full recovery after his dust up with Reuben. They are a bit wary round each other but Reuben has said sorry and was found cleaning Rocky's ear. It will be a while until Rocky grows his fur back, and the cut inside his ear which you can see in the bottom pic will leave a big scar.

When the sun shines...

...on the bonsai mountain its time to take the Berners out!

Night Vision

Walks at the moment tend to be in the dark, thank goodness for the night vision headset!

Bah! Humbug!

Bliss not quite on message with the Christmas spirit. And we are still not sure if she is pregnant or just fat. Another two and half weeks will tell.

Lessons in Photography 94

If you are going to take photos of your dog doing tricks, like sitting on the four foot six high hayledge balemake sure when he does this feat of agility you have him fully in shot

or that you both know which way you should face the camera

but with a bit of patience it all comes together! Spotty the agility Berner!

Dear Daddy

Poor Rocky, heres a pic of him this morning showing the damage to his ear, hes getting better, out and about as the bottom pic shows and after another trip to the vet today he is well on the way to a full recovery. He got a letter today from one of the kids which also cheered him up.
Dear daddy

It has just come to my attention, via my personal private secretary and general dogs body that you are entirely pawly and under the weather. All I can say is if u need me to knit you a woolly scarf I will do my best or you could borrow your dads wooly hat to keep your ears warm. I know from personal experience that visiting the vets is not good, but they are trying to make you better so please behave as the gentleman I know you to be.
I know it's usual for adults to suggest things but if you find your skin itches where you had your shave , holland and Barratt do a Manuka honey cream that both heals and stops the itch . Any way I had better make sure they shut the shop properly.... So get well soon, and I think you are the best looking dad ever.

All my love your troublesome daughter Theia La Diva xxxxx

Ps love to everybody else too.

Many thanks

Thanks to all those that have emailed get wells to Rocky, he is a bit perkier and almost lets you touch his ear to put the meds on it, he will soon be back to his handsome self. Heres a pic of how he should look!

Poor lad

This is our top dog Rocky Saturday morning looking as handsome as ever and keeping an eye on the concrete for me. He looks a bit different now. The poor lad got into a very rare squabble over a bone with Reuben and got his ear bit Saturday night. Sunday he refused to come out from under the kitchen table but eventually allowed us to bath him and check him over, he had a cut inside his ear, the other was bruised but otherwise he seemed ok, just subdued. Monday he was clearly in some distress so we took him to the vet. They sedated him as a precaution, he being big, and so we left him with them. On collection the poor lad has had his whole head shaved, his ears shaved and he looks a right sorry state. The cut on his ear was infected so Vet decided best approach was a head shave. Rocky looks dreadfully sad and has taken to living under the kitchen table and avoiding mirrors. When we are over the trauma we might put a pic on the blog of the poor chap. A Berner with a skinhead is a sight to behold!

Wasted

Expensive dog toys are wasted on Spotty, he prefers au natural wooden toysAnd as for his platinum monogrammed dog water bowl, that was a waste of money too.

Maybe

Bliss maybe, maybe not, we cant tell and neither can she!

Spot light on Spotty

Handsome lad

He aint heavy!

This handsome lad is Reuben's brother Morgan who dropped a few hints to his owners that he wanted a playmate. Spending hours with a concrete Bassett was a subtle clue so they decided that they would get him the real deal, so why have one Berner when you can have two?

Heres Oliver, 8 weeks old and fabulous so he can be an honary clan member and he looks very happy to have landed with his new family.

Remember Berners are like chocolates, one is never enough!
