Dad's Home

"Bonnie, Reuby did you hear that?..."

"I can hear Dad's car!"

"Race you lets give him a welcome home...

a 160kg charging welcome"

Hide & Seek

Bonnie is convinced

she is the hide and seek champion.

Although we think

she just wants to lay down in the

long grass and sleep.

Ha Ha found you!!!

Spotlight on Reuby

 Reuby posing for this shot

looking so serene.

So full of life

and enjoying every moment.

With a Big sloppy smile. 

Fairy's & Troll's

With it being a long weekend Dad said

we were going to patrol the Boundaries of 

our Northern Territories.

To make sure all that use the land

are safe and can enjoy the views.

There are miles of new forest to investigate.

Reuby and I ran ahead to check the path was all clear,

and awaited instruction on which path to follow.

Bonnie was bringing up the rear

and keeping the photographer company.

In the next field we came across some very strange Arches,

It is said that these arches are made by the corn fairy's

and they appear over night.

Some say that they are a magical portal back to the

Fairy kingdom.

But further along our walk our mission took a more serious turn,

What you are looking at here is a Troll Jail !!!

And we have to check these to make sure they haven't escaped.

Lucy is demonstrating that we have to use

extreme caution...

Just incase...

There are several of these dotted around our Northern Territory

But our worst fears had come true,

Bonnie had found that one of the Troll's had

escaped by Tunneling out.....

To be continued...

Leaping Giants

"Come on Buddy we have to teach Bonnie to jump!"

"Really? to make a good jump you need speed Reuby

and well... Bonnie isn't built for speed"

"OK Bonnie as well as speed, the approach is important too!"

"I don't know you two that looks a big gap

and a lot of hard work?

Right I'm going for it wish me luck!!!"

"Nope sorry... this way is easier"

All in the Genes

This is Reuben,

You've guessed it Reuby's Dad

and father to Reservoir pups and the Heli Crew litters.

  

And our Princess Reuby

Can you see the family resemblance?

This Handsome chap is Rocky,

and he is Lord of the manor in the Dolyhir Clan.

So you can now see where I get my good looks from

it's like looking in a mirror!

High Speed Jump

On a recent trip to Wales

Reuby and I were trying synchronized running,

once we had got that sorted

I decided to move to the next level...

High speed water jumping,

"Come on Reuby follow me"

although I think the steep landing area might have been

a leap to far...

Face plant!!!

Don't worry no animals were hurt

during the making of this blog.

But it was funny.

Our "Bonnie" Girl

This is our Bonnie on the 2nd day in our,

now her forever home back in March.

She weighed just 47.5kg and the smell of horse poo

made your eyes water, Dad tried to wash her in the garden,

but had to give in and take her to a doggy salon to get clean.  

Here she is in May after putting some weight on

and enjoying her first "Family" holiday.

Once she plucked up the courage to go in the sea

we couldn't get her out.

This is one of the photos Mum and Dad have of Bonnie,

in her old home.

She doesn't look very happy.

It makes us all very sad when we look at it.

But look at her now!!!

Proud as punch of her Red Rosette,

That she won this weekend!

A healthier 61kg

And that face says it all.

She is loving her new life.

Our lifes have also changed for the better now that Bonnie is part of our Family.

Another Bumper Crop...

 Today we had a trip out to Hurworth Companion Dog Show near Darlington.

And out of eight classes entered we got six placings,

met lots of interesting dogs and there pets

and made lots of friends.

Bonnie in her first appearance stole the show today,

with a 1st place in the Best Rescue Dog Class.

She has come along way since she join us in our Forever Home,

Bonnie was underweight at 47.5kg

But with some TLC and a lot of love and cuddles,

she now tips the scales at a much healthier 61kg. 

Reuby got a 5th place in her second outing in the ring,

as my partner in Best Pair of Dogs.

I thought it kind to let Reuby keep this one,

she is very proud of it can you tell?

Me well I only got four today five if you include Best pair.

3rd for Best Pedigree Junior

3rd for Junior Handler with Human pet Lucy

6th for Handsomest Dog (out of 50)

and 6th for Best Trick.

"Please Buddy I'm only trying them on, they are very pretty"

But after a very long and busy day

it was all to much for Bonnie

and the call of a nap could not be ignored

Happy Dreams Bonnie x

Look into me Eyes

One of the great things about being a Berner

is how we can wrap our human pets around our paws,

I mean just one of these looks and I can get anything I want!

Reuby is catching on quick,

her big sad eye look is coming on a treat.

And then there's Bonnie she is still to prefect the look,

the reason being she falls asleep to quickly.

But as a group we are an unstoppable force

that no human pet can resist....

Reuby Stakes her Claim

Over the past couple of months

Reuby and the small human pet James

have been inseparable,

Reuby is often found upstairs in James' room

while he is plugged into the WiFi

watching him on the Xbox.

Just like Me and Dad they have a "me and my shadow" going on...

Just like any Berner knows

the best way to stake your claim on a human pet is....

yes that's right, Sit On Them!!!

and as Reuby is reaching 50kg that explains

the expression on James' face!

But we all get on as one BIG happy family.

A Berner In Hand

This is Chopwell Woods near where we live

and its great for running around in.

"Come on Reuby this way we'll hide from Bonnie"

"Come on Budz you cant hide from me,

I can sniff you out!"

"Alright then where has Reuby gone

she was here a minute ago"

Ha Ha I've given them the slip,

now to find a good hiding place.

Think I'll just rest up here,

this reminds me when Dad used to be able to

pick me up one handed.

"Buddy you keep looking, I've gotta stop here for a drink"

But after a great day running about it was time to

find our human pets and head home.

A "Bonnie" Pillow

Reuby loves to cuddle in but sometimes,

it gets her into a bit of bother!!!

Muffled cry's came from the kitchen,

and when I went to investigate it could just make out

"helppp meee Buddy I cant move"

Bonnie had decided to cuddle Reuby back

and had placed one of her mighty paws

across Reuby's shoulders and she was pinned.

But not only was she pinned to the floor,

Bonnie had one of Reuby's paws in her mouth....

Don't ask me why!

and if you were to ask Bonnie why?

I bet she couldn't answer you either!
