Poor Luce. We went to Wild Roots (alternative) supermarket for some “healthy” food and of course, Luce went along for the ride. When I returned to the car I found Luce giving me a look as if to say: “WTF is his problem and yes, he has been doing this since just after you left”. I have to give the poor little guy some leeway here. As they say, your dog is a reflection of you and Subaru is the official pace car for Highway 9 and 17, you do the math.
Luce went to the gym. Not that type of gym, a jungle gym in the playground. We were taking a walk in the park which was totally empty in the early morning hours. I wanted to see what Luce would do if I went up the steps on the play structure to see if he would follow and to my surprise he did. He got a little confused when I put him in a sit-stay and climbed down to take his picture. All was well when I guided him back to the steps and then to “terra firma” and gave him a treat for his efforts.
On this first day of the new year and decade, Luce was enjoying a nice sunny day here in Northern California when I was able to capture this picture. In reality, he was getting impatient because he was promised a walk and I was trying to get a picture.
I think it is a really good picture of him and plan to use it as my screen background.
Just before ringing in the new year we decided to take a quick trip to the Menlo Park – Palo Alto area and of course Luce was there to help with all the pre-New Year Celebrations. Here he is discussing plans with Stacey:
As soon as the Christmas roast was prepared to go in the oven, Luce was on the scene, ready for his fare share. I had to shoo him away with the usual command “GIT” but he seems to be having some trouble hearing right then. I’m not sure why.
When we were at the bank the other day we ran into the cutest baby Berner. Her name is Lyla and she seemed to take a liking to our Luce right away. At first, Luce did not seem too sure but came around quickly. Here is Lyla sitting nicely in front of her Mom.
The ran around a bit and Luce seemed to be having fun.
We had a little excursion to a local reservoir without Luce since he could not handle all that sun. On the far side of the reservoir, we found a Berner so we had to stop to say hello. As always is the case with Berners, he was very friendly
Stacey said hello and gave him some attention before he had to get back to his family:
This is a site dedicated to the best dogs ever. Of course we are referring to Bernese Mountain Dogs. Obviously this is an extremely biased opinion but we don’t care, this is our site.
