Much-belated 2nd Birthday

Sawyer's 2nd birthday (way back in May) was less eventful than his first, having said that, he WAS treated to a doggie cone courtesy of Mel and it was paw-lickin' good!  Then he was reluctantly made to wear a ridiculous hat & sunglasses...sheesh.

 For dinner he was presented with a platter of fresh wabbit, pardon me,  RABBIT!  One of our local grocery stores carries cleaned rabbits for human consumption.  We hoped Sawyer would find pleasure in this treat.  He managed to eagerly eat half the rabbit.  All was well until later in the evening....we found a puddle of partially digested bunny on our floor, YUK.  That's what happens on birthdays...too much cake or bunny in this case and someone gets a belly ache!

Woofstock 2012 - Toronto

Warren and I decided to take our boy, Sawyer, to Woofstock this year.  I must say it would have been easier without him but we were proud to show him off.  We only saw one other Berner this year so Sawyer did receive much attention & photo ops from passersby.  There were many breeds of dogs to ogle over, as well as numerous vendors selling treats, foods, accessories and services for our pets.  Let the photos speak for themselves...

and then there was a fountain...

Sawyer had to go in

I think he would love his own pool!

and then he got lots of attention & chuckles

poor girl...her owner made her wear this bridal dress, complete with pearls

she and her groom (foreground) were so ashamed, they refused to smile for the camera!

Why in heaven's name, am I wearing only 1 pair of red boots??!

still in the fountain

This boy refused to wet his paws

A tired dog...

One of the vendors....We originally used Kijiji to find Sawyer.

Is that a Chihuahua made to look like a lion...hehehe!

you watch the agility training...I'd rather people watch

You Know You're Having a Bad Day When....

 They made me wear this stupid birthday hat...

I get humped by a 3-legged dog...

(there's my 3-legged hound friend)

my friend, Hurley, is coerced into wearing an angel costume....(I feel your pain man)

these beauties had to parade the streets when they'd rather be hunting wabbits....

I could never catch this gorgeous blond....

they won't let me get a nose-job....

MJ made me wear a Lunateer t-shirt...

Ok, I was actually enjoying this belly rub...

 until MJ decides to wrestle with me... 

leaving me completely exposed and vulnerable to the world... 

so, I just submitted...to her snuggles and kisses....actually that wasn't so bad after all!

Then, I was having a great time with my swimming buddy, until my masters decided it was time to leave.... 

  

 so, I took my sweet time, laid my pristine white belly down in the dirt...

  I rolled, and rolled and rolled some more....

 and I ground that red clay deep into my fur and pores...

Humph! Got you back Mom, Dad, MJ & TJ!
