Paint

This is a post I have considered for a while. Nothing earth shattering — just a point.

I had a choice. I chose Pozy Clarkia.

“What about her markings?” one might ask.

What about them?

Pozy, Sundance and Capella

People can be so strange about markings. And naive.

I have an image in my mind of a dilapidated, sagging house missing a piece of the roof and built next to a Superfund site — but a proudly beaming owner feeling smug because said house is painted so nicely.

What can you even say?!

“Um…nice paint job?”

Darker markings did not stop Wildflower Kjempe from being certified as a Canine Good Citizen…

…or from being what Mariya describes as a “Barkstar.” Congratulations to Team Kjempe!

Like with people, what really matters in a Berner is what is inside.

Have an imperfectly wonderful day.

The Blessing of Age (and Youth)

This is Miss Maddie from the F Litter…

She is 12 years, 9 months, and 2 days old and doing well. Isn’t she so so lovely? Thank you, Barb, for the photo and staying in touch.

Please celebrate your own age as the blessing it is. Yes, it is tough getting older but I lost a parent early — I know that there are worse things than old age.

And speaking of parents — my dad is home from the hospital and back to being a contender in the thrice—weekly Zoom card games. Thanks for all your good wishes.

Youth is also awesome and wonderful, represented here by Miss Maddie’s great-great (really GREAT) nephew, Zuber…
