Our Berner Family Blog

This wraps up another great and fun trip to the mountains with our pack of Moutain Dogs. Even with the major run-ins with the hotel staff, capsizing the canoe on Donner Lake, and the car breaking down, a good time was (mostly) had by all involved. Here are Luce and Max with a stick. Luce knows it will get taken if he starts to eat it.

Alas, it had to be confiscated.

Max looks like he is thinking, “Dude, what up? , like, that was my stick, I’m not going to eat it like Luce would”. Meanwhile, Luce looks like he was thinking: “Please don’t let him see the ball, I won’t tell him so don’t you, we really don’t need any more trouble around here!”.

This is Luce’s brother Max, I mean “real brother”, as in, littermates (just in case you as new to the blog). He was hangin’ in our room for a little while and apparently decided to crash in the entry. Also… no, he is not hiding under a bear skin rug, that is all him.

Luce’s Brother Max came over for a short play date in our hotel room. Stacey showed she is not to be trusted by letting Max up on the bed. Max appears to be thinking “I am pretty sure I am not allowed up here but Luce seems cool with it so I guess it is OK”.

Later, Luce, Max, and I played a game of Tug-O-War with Luce’s rope. It was 2 against one but I think I was able to hold my own since I think I still had them outweighed by a few pounds.

Here is a pair of Bernese Mountain Dogs in their most natural environment, the mountains. That is Luce’s brother Max on the right.

Well, we finally arrived in the Sierra Mountains and met up with Luce’s brother Max and his family. Here we are just after meeting up:

As usual, Luce is right at my feet with his brother MAx right beside us. Baron does not appear to be too sure so he kept back a little. After a short while, the boys decided to take a little run-around:

Well, we are all packed up and ready to be off and away. Luce is not quite sure where we are going and is a bit put off by the new canoe on the roof.

He should not be that surprised since he was there when we picked it up from CanoeJack himself. He is even on CanoeJack’s Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/canoejack/

Once onboard, Luce settled in and was ready for the adventure to come.

Luce likes to get as comfortable as possible and here he is hanging out in the TV room with me. He usually gets tires of the TV after a short while but here we are before the TV is on so he is happy to spread out.
