Bed Hogger

I recently changed my twin sized bed for a double just so that I could cuddle with Bailey before bed time and in the morning. At first our cuddling system was working perfectly, until a few weeks ago when she decided to take up more than half of the bed. Leaving me with no room, I have to wiggle my way around her to make room for myself. At the same time Bailey is grumbling noisily (it's no joke, Bailey is a very vocal berner) that I'm interrupting her sleep.

Socialite

Bebe (in the middle) and a friend came over for a visit a few weeks ago. If you can remember, Bebe was the tiny puppy whom Bailey accidentally stepped on during a playful visit a few years back. During the visit, the grown ups went out to have a coffee while the kids stayed behind and had a nice walk around the neighbourhood. The day ended with the three pups splayed out on the rug in the foyer trying to catch their breaths from all the excitement. 

Wild Thing

So last weekend we decided to set aside a whole day to take Bailey up to Lynn Valley for a long hike. Once we reached the parking lot, Bailey was the most eager member to get out of the car. The whole time that everyone was getting ready, Bailey was complaining and whining (quite loudly too, as it attracted strangers attention).

When we finally get on the trail and let Bailey off leash, it was as though we were letting a Tasmanian devil out of its cage! Have I told you that Bailey has a thing for puddles of mud? It goes something like this, Bailey sees puddle, jumps in, lies in mud, rolls in mud, jumps out and then back in. When she thinks she has enough mud on her, she will run over to you and shake her body vigorously then run away with a large smile on her face.

Still a Puppy At Heart

Bailey and I have recently found a new way to cuddle and she seems to like it very much. I hypothesize that she loves lying on top of us and squishing her face into our face is the fact that it reminds her how we use to cradle her as a puppy. A heads up to all owners who want to do this with their berners - your big puppy does not know how heavy he or she is, so beware they will wiggle all over you!!

Happy Halloween!

"Happy halloween! I don't know what that means, but I keep hearing people saying the phrase today. Strangely, if you say to a human 'trick or treat' the human will give you a treat, but I tried that with my humans and they don't give me anything. Curiously, for the last couple of days I've noticed these odd looking humans all around town, and the strangest thing is they don't move at all when I go to greet them! Anyways, I hope everyone is having fun on halloween and staying safe."

Bed Time

On weekends when the whole family stays up later than usual, Bailey is the only family member to complain about staying up. She will actively let you know that it is way past her bed time with glares and grumbles from all corners of the house. She will also saunter in front of you with her head hung low. When you finally acknowledge her, Bailey will herd you to the stairs and indicate with her nose that her bed is upstairs! But when it takes you too long to make a decision, she will bolt up the stairs and go to bed without you.

Thank You!

"I want to thank all my followers who take the time to visit my blog! I'll keep an eye on my human to update it more often."

Relaxing at the Playground

Bailey is an amazing buddy to go for long walks because she knows the best ways to take in the scenery. She loves to take breaks by the water or on a bench to people watch while we catch our breaths. But we've recently found a nice area to rest, the playground!! The jungle gym provides a cool surface for Bailey to lie down. Best part is that the surface is covered in tiny perforations that allow air to flow up to Bailey's tummy. Not to mention I get to act like a 5 year old all over again, while Bailey looks on in dismay.
