Berner Bash

These little charmers stopped by my parents’ house on Sunday night:

14-week old Bernese Mountain dogs? I’m powerless, I tell you. Behold the cuteness:

We had a lovely time until I had the bright idea to let Sum meet them. He was fine for the first, oh, 30 seconds, then one of them got a little too puppyish for Sum’s delicate sensibilities and he pinned the poor guy with a “don’t mess” snarl. (The puppy “infraction” was mild and completely undeserving of the beat-down.) Sumner is a rude, awful, nasty host. That first year of his life before we got him, when he lived in a complete social vacuum, impacts us even today. Socialize your puppies, folks.

Thankfully, the pups recovered and forgave me. Not sure if they can find it in their hearts to forgive Sum, though.

Never heard of that breed before, (not a dog owner) but those are two of the cutest puppies. Wonder how they will look as adults.

Hi,
The Bernese Mountain Dogs are originally from Switzerland and are considered working dogs. I can say that they are the sweetest and friendliest dogs I know and extremely cute too! These guys will probably grow up to be in the 100 – 120 pound range. Thanks for looking at the photos.

P.S. Their names are Blu and Ted.
