This is a blog for our newest family member, a Bernese Mountain Dog named Ryder. He joined the crew Memorial Day weekend of 2009 and has since and fit right in...annoying Tess, being lazy, and eating a ton.
This past weekend we took a trip to Connecticut to visit Bubba and Rebecca's new puppy Harper! He's just nine weeks old, but is certainly a rowdy little thing. They played very nicely all day!
Ryder will be spending the summer at Pilgrim Day Camp with my Mom, Brian, the Kirby's, their dog Riley, and a whole lot of kids! He's taking a nap on the pool deck in this picture... rough life.
"The pack" on a walk at Wheelock on fourth of July weekend: Ryder, Tess, Brandy(the Clopeck's Golden Retriever) and George (the Clopeck's French Bulldog/Boston Terrier mix)
Ryder was featured as the Daily Puppy on June 21st!!! We were so happy, this is one of our favorite dog websites. We received tons of great comments :) Check it out here: Ryder On the Daily Puppy 6/21/09
By far one of my favorite pictures. Shea, Ella, Kellan, Dylan and Ryder. My mom said that Ryder refused to walk. How long will he fit in that stroller...
Great shot of Takari Kennels, where we've gotten all three of our Berners (Tari also breeds Cavalier King Charles Spaniels). It's a looonngg drive to Fulton New York, but worth the trip! http://www.takarikennels.com/
The two pups above are Ryder's litter mates. Ryder had ten brothers and sisters, just like my mom :)
