Hi Cindy, We brought another berner baby into our home about 5 months ago. It has been a joy and a workout.
It is a lot of work, but I am facinated daily by the interactions between our dog and the pup. We have a 2 1/2 yo neutered male, Griffin and a 7 month old spayed female, Loki. How our lives have changed: 1.I had forgotten how mentally and physically taxing puppies are. The good part is, it is much easier to distract the puppy from doing bad things because the older dog is there to play with, or sometimes annoy! Griffin sometimes needs a break from the Lokimaniac. 2.I think that the hair factor has increased by more than 100% because they run around a lot inside together and wrestle a fair amount. Before, Griffin mostly slept when he was inside or followed me around. We did most playing outdoors. 3.We get a discount at the self-serve dog wash for using the same tub for two dogs. 4.We pick up twice as much poop out of the yard. 5.My husband and I each get a cuddlebug dog when we watch movies. 6.We get twice as many Berner kisses. 7.When we go to the park, I know they'll have another dog to play with. 8.I'll be extra warm when we go camping. 9.Training is funny because I'll be working with Loki and Griffin will be doing every command at a distance expecting to get a treat. I guess you have to be there to see it! 10.I think now that I have two Berners, I hope I will always have two. I love watching them interact and I'm facinated by their different personalities! If you want to see pictures of them together, you can go to our website @ www.mcmm.net Bernerly yours, Melissa, Griffin, Loki (Portland,OR)
