The expansion of our Family.....In other ways

Image hosted by Photobucket.com Well, We have decided for some time that we are going to expand our family with a baby in some way. The opportunity has risen that we have considered adoption. After much discussion we have concurred that we will adopt in the interim.. We could use the practice of sleepless nights, ever messy rooms and never ending cries for more food, more attention, and more love. We have decided that the time has come for us to adopt a second Berner. A little girl, We have decided on the name Casey or Winnie (depending on which suits her best), We meet and take her home on Saturday. Bryan will be a big brother, and although he has no clue what this means now, or I am unsure if he will ever understand... But on Saturday he will have some adjustment to go through. We all will have an adjustment to go through. I am excited yet nervous at the same time.. I wonder if she will love us, love her new home, or be upset at us taking her from her mommy and other siblings. For those that are not crazy about dogs or do not live with (I would never say own since they truly own us)the four legged peter pan (never growing up) This might not make sense, or to those that share their live with a cooler more sophisticated breed like a poodle or shepherd. Life with a Bernese Mountain Dog is different. I feel confident in saying this because I have lived with many other breeds of dogs, but none compare to the absoloute foolishness a Berner brings to the adult household. There is a certain way that Berners can make even the most hardened spirits smile. They always appear to have a natural goofy smile upon their face, which brings the rest of us to join in their laughter. With all of our fertility woes, ups and downs, Bryan knows exactly what will make us feel better. A constantly wagging tail, a forever shadow and the best hugs ever given are given by Bryan. I am just not sure how easy it will be with both of them hanging off of us! Image hosted by Photobucket.com
