Snuggly Sawyer-Doodle-Bug

There's nothing better than hibernating in a warm home on a frigid Canadian winter night.

This past weekend, W and I settled in to watch a little tellie while Sawyer was busy socializing through the fence in the backyard with his canine neighbours: Roxy, Einstein, Carmi and Meggie.  They were happily running back 'n forth along the fence line and having a grand old time.  A half hour later,  Mr. Sawyer-Doodle-Bug had had enough and was ready to settle in with us.  It was W's turn to be the "doorman" while I lounged on the couch.

In comes the boy covered in snow, barreling full speed for his favourite couch .... the one I'm lying on.  No problem he says, two of us can squeeze onto a love seat!  And we did... nothing like a 90+ pound dog sitting on you!   In no time, he settled in and fell fast asleep on my lap.  A precious moment it was...

Snow Dog

I've realized that Sawyer is the perfect dog for a snow-loving gal, like myself!  I so enjoy watching him romp, roll and eat the white stuff.  Let's hope for a long snowy winter..

Hurley

This post is dedicated to Sawyer's best buddy Hurley, a two-year old Berner, and my "goddog".  I've known him for over a year, and have tagged along on a number of pleasant walks with 'SC', albeit at the risk of losing a limb while being dragged down a slippery slope by a 100+ lbs. dog had I not released my hold on his leash...honestly, he IS a gentle giant.  He just, as does this breed, has a strong penchant for pulling, be it a cart or a human.    I  do love you Hurley ;-)

I must say Hurley has been a good trooper, and a good role model  in Sawyer's presence.  These two love a good wrestle in a field, forest, creek, snow, mud,...well just about anywhere!  This video portraits a typical play date.
