We got home to our new puppy, Bernese Mt Dog, Thor.
I have never had a Large breed dog before, I have had a black lab, golden retriever, rottweiler and a pekingese in my lifetime, and when Sean told me Thor's daddy was 120# Honestly, first thing I thought was..Im glad he gets to pick up the poop! :P Then, I started thinking about how this 'Baby Thor' as we call him likes to sleep in our bed for part of the night..how the heck will that work in 100 more pounds?! haha. Thor is also different than any dog I had before because he is really lazy. Especially for a puppy. He is shy, very, very shy with new people. If someone new comes to our house, he barks at them usually, and then runs the opposite direction. I swear he has social anxiety with everyone but us. But he also shows signs of a protector. He likes to go stand by the kids and bark at the new person like, hey..these guys are mine! When my brother came over, he barked, ran away and would sit right next to me. Im thinking Im going to have a big baby on my hands. Now after a few days he is fine with him, still not one to go cuddle him, he saves that for me and the kids. The vet gave us papers telling us how to socialize him. He is so great with my kids, stays in our yard without a leash, actually he doesnt like a leash much at all, he would much rather just walk at your side un-restrained, listens SO well, he is just great.
This is how Thor spends most of this day, laying around...must be nice :)
Silas asks him, 'You tired Thor?' about 50x a day, haha.
