Bernie's Bark

New Sister

It's been awhile since my mom has updated my diary...she's been really, really busy with school and her new job, but she gradutes this weekend, so she's going to try to do better!
I'm kind of sad because my mom bought a new house and tried to bring me to live with her in the city, but my gramma and papa wouldn't give me up! I like it on the farm, but I miss my mom!
Since she couldn't have me back, she got me a new sister...and I don't really know what to think about her, she's massive! Her name is Lola and she's a 13 week old English Mastiff that mom rescued from a puppy mill. She tries to play with me, but she's already the same size as me...I'm just a little heavier. She barks and jumps at me and I just turn my tail and walk away....I didn't want a new sister!

Long time!

Hey everybody!

It's been awhile since I've been in the house to write! I've spent most of the summer outside with my bestest buddy in the whole world, Tunner. We've had so much fun running around, exploring the farm, and getting as dirty as possible. Sometimes mom won't even pet me I get so gross...I don't mean to, but it's just so much fun rolling in the mud and anything else I can find to stink myself up. The cats are finally used to me running circles around them and barking at them all the time....they still don't like me much, but they tolerate me I suppose.

Have I mentioned how much I hate baths!?! I behave myself while I'm in the tub, but I pout the entire time. I don't think my mom understand how much time I spend stinking myself up, then she goes and makes me smell all good and clean again and I have to start all over again when she lets me out to play. This last time I came in the house for my bath, we were in there for like an hour! She was scrubbing me so much I thought I she was going to rub my hair right off of me! She washed me 5 or 6 times before she finally let me out to shake off....I do love after my bath when she blowdries me though....that's soooo great!

Mom hasn't been home much lately, school started again for her, so she's either at the hospital doing her clinicals, in Parsons at class, or working. I don't get to see her as much as I would like, but she does try to pay special attention to me when she is home. I'm ready for her to be done with school so we can spend more time together in the house like when I was just a little guy! Other than that, nothing too exciting has been going on around here, mom's got new pictures of me to put up when she has some extra time so you all can see how big and handsome I'm becoming with my old age!

Stormy Night

I can't believe what my mom did to me 2 nights ago!!!
She didn't come outside and get me out of my pen for the night, which isn't a big deal because I've stayed the night outside before, but this night was different. The night started off ok, but then about 1 am the wind started blowing like crazy and there was thunder that was rattling my cage, then the lightning started and I got really scared, so I burrowed up in my dog house and prayed she would come get me. Then the rain started pouring...and excuse the phrase, but it started pouring cats and dogs!! Finally I heard the back door open and she came running out in her pajamas with a flash light to get me! I've never been so happy to see her. We ran back in the house and she looked like a half-drowned rat, but so did I. She got a towel and dried me off and told me she was really sorry, but I was still kinda irritated at her so I just walked into my kennel and laid down. She apologized again and gave me a treat and put me to bed, by the next morning I had forgiven her, but I hope she watches the weather a little more before she leaves me out there again!
