Getting ready for Christmas!

I'm getting ready for Christmas! What do you think of my Christmas Collar? It even has jingle bells on it! (All the better to forewarn the cat when I'm coming, ha!)





Let me pose this way so you can get another look at it!





Hopefully Santa brings me lots of presents! I've been a good dog! Except for that underwear incident......ssh!!

Hanging around

I'm just hanging around! I'm a little over 5 months old and almost weigh 50 pounds. I think I'm starting to lose my "puppyness!"

I love shoes

"I have no idea how these shoes got in my mouth. Honest!"

Baby Gates are a great invention

Help! I'm in jail!









Can you help me break out of here?







If anyone says that I'm locked in the kitchen cuz I was chasing the kitty and eating everyone's shoes, don't believe them!

Moments that melt my heart

My husband is one of a kind. For the past few years, he has wanted a hunting dog. A German short-hair, a Brittany, a Lab - a dog that would be a great hunting companion when we head to our log home in northern Michigan.

But I wore him down. I've wanted a Bernese Mountain Dog for a long time. I started showing him photos, books and basically pleaded my case. "You don't hunt that much" and "a Bernese Mountain Dog is a member of the family,intelligent, wonderful personality..." And being the good hearted husband that he is, he finally agreed.

And seeing Scout hug her daddy and wag her tail when he walks in the door, I think it's safe to say he doesn't regret giving in to me.

My favorite toy

Hi! Wanted to show you my favorite toy - my fleeced bunny rabbit. My favorite part is the rope ears which I love to gnaw on. At night, I sleep cuddled up with my bunny.

Mom says to continue gnawing on the bunny and the bones but not the kitty or her! I'm trying my hardest.... but you know I'm just a teething puppy! :-)

Scout's first day at home!

Scout wanted to show you what her first day was like with her new family!




She really enjoyed playing in the yard and seeing how many woodchips she could put in her mouth before her mommy could catch her to pull them out!




Scout met Marvin the cat and tried to show him who was boss. Marvin had other ideas and gave Scout a friendly swap on the nose and said "pipe down youngster!"





Here is Scout giving her mommy and daddy the loving eyes!




And then there were puppy naps!





And more puppy naps!

Just Playing

My mommy wanted me to tell you that I weigh 7 lbs right now! My sisters and brothers are a lot bigger at 8 and 9 lbs. I'll be 8 weeks old on June 27th and be able to go home with my mommy and daddy. (And apparently a new brother - Marvin the cat.) Right now I like to nibble on fingers and jump like a rabbit! I think I'll have some new toys to chew on soon!

Our new puppy Scout!

I've waited a long time for this Bernese baby! After a year on the waiting list, Scout will be coming home on June 27th. She is named after a character in one of my favorite books - "To Kill A Mocking Bird." She is the runt of the litter (which I know doesn't really mean anything) and is the sweetest girl ever!
