I think you're mistaking me with 'Larka! I'm the one in the hat.

Nope...she's a cutie, but you are beautiful! Envy on both counts!

Love the pup! Bernies are such beautiful dogs. Glad you got her. You have a mischievous look about you that matches your online wit.

You have your puppy hat on too! She's awesome, looking forward to more stories and pics about her puppy-hood.

My girl.




She may be useful as a garden helper after all...

Another vote for Thistle pretty!! Twice I have had dogs that the breed's life span was short , live over 15 years. Every living creature has the same amount of time, today. No one knows if they will be here tomorrow. In the photo where your sitting on the floor she is looking at you with such love. I have a client with 2, she told me once weather turns cold she can't drag them inside.

She was actually trying to gnaw on every body part she could get her mouth on!

That's hugely encouraging that you have had short termers live into their teens NYboy. If she is typical of the breed, I am deeply impressed. She has a remarkable temperament.

I love my dogs, and all of my past dogs are fondly remembered, but I haven't been this smitten since I brought home my Malamute, Cache, 20 years ago.

We have 3 mo. olds together. We can compare development stories and pics, gushing all the while. Isn't that how folks do it with children?
