Bernese Mountain Dogs at Meridian

08/23/2022

I totally forgot to post about Pink and Aqua going home! Pink is now Mocha ☕️ and Aqua is Maple 🍁. They went to their lovely family Saturday afternoon. They have a big Berner brother and another canine sibling (not pictured). It's funny because I've been telling the girls' family how spirited and energetic the girls are, and they've been sending pics of the girls passed out! 🤣 That last one of Mocha at the vet's office cracks me up! She looks like a stuffed animal!

Lime went to his family today. They were super excited. His hu-mom makes doggie bandanas, and he already has his own. 💚 He gets a beautiful little girl and teen brother. He's already looking happily at home (pic 2), and we're waiting to hear if he likes the pool. 😁

Yesterday morning, Charlie went home. I love how his mom color-coordinated with him! 💙 He's going to be one pampered boy!

Beau is off with Mr. Soderquist. I know they're going to enjoy each other!

This is a perfect pairing. Beau gets to enjoy farm life. He's going to love it and be loved. ❤

Today is the last full day of all the pups here, with our family. We're enjoying the last days of sweet puppy breath and play, but wanted to get a great picture to commemorate our joy with these pups. I think our son's face captures it, even if they're not the absolute best puppy photos! (They're busy! They've got places to go and people to see!)

Guess who is super excited to tell you he's going to have a loving home? Complete with a teen boy and a little girl to love on him!

💚 Lime 💚

I'm not kidding when I say these puppies are highly attentive to people and like to be right with you - they can make it hard to walk! But I love that they're not a bit aloof and uninterested in what you're doing. Plus, it makes 'em easier to grab for cuddles and constant pets!! 😁

Lime is the only pup left! He has the most teddy bearish, adorable little face. This little boy is super sweet, curious and smart. He is vet checked, healthy and ready to go to a loving home. 😍 💙 😍

Lime is such a cutie, and so very sweet!

Puppies had their 6-week appointment today. All are healthy and weigh between 8.3 and 12.9 lbs. The vet was surprised at how sleepy and well-behaved they all were in the office, but we wore them out for a solid hour ahead of time! 😉🤣

The pups are super playful this morning! Here are the girls!

I'm so happy that most of our babies were matched with great families early on. We've been able to share regular updates and they've been able to watch them grow since they were just 2 and 3 weeks old! They've even had a couple of visits which is great for bonding and appreciating these puppy's early personalities and dynamics with their sister and brother pups!

Red is now Beau, and will be a farm dog - perfect for him! A lovely gentleman is taking him. ❤

Blue is now Charlie. He's going to have an awesome life near our hometown with an amazing couple who will dote on him! 💙 (first picture)

The two girls, Aqua and Pink, are awaiting their perfect forever names, but they will be with a local Berner-loving family and have dog and kid siblings. 💘💘 (second picture, with Aqua)

The only pup remaining is Lime - hope he has a family to call his own soon! (Last 3 pictures: playing in the rain, in the grass, and with our son)

Puppies sleeping in yesterday's light rain... they had other options and chose this!

It's been a crazy busy week and while I have oodles of puppy pics over the last week, not many have made it here... so here's a little dump of some of my favorites. 🙂

If it seems unbalanced or like I favor one pup over another - not the case! A lot are of Blue because I was trying to capture pictures to send to his family. 😉

Marvel sharing her favorite soccer ball with Pink. She likes toys the most!

Beau is hanging out with me in the hammock. He's chill for the moment, but usually exploring!

07/28/2022

Blue... they didn't like the other crunchy stuff (neither did our Pym puppy, a cavoodle), but Blue is the first to try this new puppy food from TSC, and he seems to like it.

And yes, he was lying there, leaned on both dishes, all relaxed munching on it. 🤣

Here's more of my lunch break with Lime. I got puppy kisses! 🐶 😚

07/26/2022

Incredibly, puppies are 4 weeks old today! They've grown so much, so fast!

I hung out with Lime for a bit at lunch. He was the second to find his voice and loves to be right with you!

07/25/2022

Yum yum! All the kids are enjoying an early lunch. 👌

Puppies have a way of making you crack up and warm your heart at the same time. This is how I found them this morning...

This week they've started eating gruel (milk replacer mixed with soft puppy food). Our Lime boy took to it first, but by the 3rd or 4th feeding, they were all getting it. (And mo. Might be a tiny bit jealous because she thinks they're getting a treat!) 😂 But - she gets to clean out the bowls when they're done to help me with dishes!

07/21/2022

Who could resist? We couldn't resist an ice cream treat and the ice cream truck ladies couldn't resist our BMDs! 😃

07/20/2022

This is Aqua - we've taken to calling her Stream. She's my husband's favorite.

07/20/2022

Puppies are 3 weeks old today!! To mark this special occassion, they went outside for the first time. Honestly, I thought they'd be more impressed, but, for the most part, they thought it was nap time

Viggo is hanging out with Blue, checking out his big ol' paws!
