For The Love Of Dogs
- Thread starter RadishRose

This one really gets to me, one of my babies is rescue that was found in a field, pouring down rain in the January cold. It was obvious that he belonged to someone at one point. He did have a collar but no tags or chips. His coat was overgrown and matted. Like one of those dogs they show that you can't even see it is a dog.
He was taken out of a city shelter by a rescue. They cleaned him up, checked his health and got him ready for adoption. He came to me by way of a friend who was living with me when I lost the dog of my life. I was not ready but accepted that my friend was trying to help me and the new dog.
He is here now, laying on my couch, a healthy, happy boy. Never hungry, never thirsty, never having to worry about the winter or summer. He gets to sleep in the bed with the new Mom and his new sister. They did not get along at first but now love each other. You just have to give them time to build a bond. These two littles are still working on the total acceptance of the new brother. I get it, he is 90#S, to big for the bed with us, but that big boy is the sweetest of the 3. That is what I call a Merry Christmas!!!

Salerno, Italy, this Fall......hiked up to the old fort, about 300 yards from it we passed a small farm, goats, sheep and a variety of dogs.......as we were about to leave this procession showed up......(no humans).....don't know if the dog was 'in charge', (if so a very savoir faire management style), or just tagging along:

A friend of mind just had to rescue a litter of 11 puppies. She made the news on ABC in NY. That's a lot of pups for one mom.

Looks like a Bernese. Every dog I have had sine that breed became more common has liked these dogs.

We were in Romania...saw a young couple with a Bernese...asked if we could say hi to it...they said that most people were afraid of them because they're so big........they're probably about the most easygoing dogs around.

26 is Guinness record for a St. Bernard....still any more than 10 is a lot.
