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!

My Stick Part 2

"This is so much fun Bonnie"

"Err... what is Reuby?"

"Playing with this Blue stick, never seen one like this before!"

"Hang on Reuby, who's stick is this? if it's Buddy's and he find us playing with it....."

"He'll have us running all over the garden"

"Come on Reuby & Bonnie keep up!!!"

"That was great Buddy can we play that again?"

"Not sure Reuby, might have to give Bonnie time to recover..."

Family Photos

This is a very special picture to me,

it was taken at Rock HQ during last years,

Annual Treasure Hunt.

My human pet "Dad" has labeled us in the photo,

and as you can see we have 3 Generations in one picture. 

My Mum could't be at the Treasure hunt,

but here is a picture of her at Rock HQ,

about 8/9 weeks before I was born....

Strange that!
She lives on Nunnery Farm.

If you are wondering what the Annual Treasure Hunt is?

Its when we all meet up to have fun & games, a BBQ

and catch up with all our brothers/sisters, aunt's/uncles

and of course Mums & Dads.

Unfortunately we didn't make it this year,

but we WILL next year.
