Happy Birthday to the 2nd born dog, Sir Argus Fezzik the Giant, today he is ONE. Weighing in at a 110lbs he believes he is a lapdog but does not believe in personal space. With his ginormous paws, his baby face and lack of neck he tends to draw a ton of attention whereever he goes. Argus has plenty of nicknames, Thunder (to Josie’s Lighting), The Kool-Aid Man, Tank, Piggie (for the constant grunting) Oaf, Fuzzy Wuzzy (as in the caterpillar, that is what he looks like from above since he has no neck) and wimp. Don’t let the photo fool you; he is the happiest, sweetest thing on 4-paws I have ever met. He thinks he is a cat, loves to crawl into spaces he really should not attempt and has these twitches he does when he wants attention, that one day might put him or one of us through a wall. His favorite place to sit is in front of the refridgerator doors if you are trying to get something out of it, if not, then anyone’s foot will do — Happy Birthday Argus thanks for being part of the family.

The stuffed Berner has been here for three years; we used it to tell the kids Josie was joining the family, then in photos with the dogs, Argus found it sitting on a shelf when no one was looking it and stole it. I would have thought it would have been the end of the stuffed one, but turns out Argus just wanted to cuddle. Tune in tomorrow for Argus’s first birthday post.

I call them thunder and lighting, because one is quick, bright, graceful and sleek and the other is Argus.

“Let me get a nice photo of you with the dogs before you go back to school Anna.” And done. Good luck at school.

This morning some of the bigger dogs in the area met up for our first outing for a local Facebook group called Mountain Dogs Around Medway. It is just an excuse to get some of the larger breeds of dogs out together. I had set it up months ago for today thinking it would be a fun cold day for those dogs that love low temps. Instead, it was a nice spring-like stroll around Medfield State Campus. Argus and Josie had a blast making new friends.

No matter what you think about snow, you have to smile when your 7 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, who is bred for cold weather, discovers snow for the first time. Pure innocence and joy. He just sat there and watched it come down, put his tongue out to catch some, then watched it fall more. Then his sister came out and showed him how fun it is to run and jump in… we will never get him back in the house again.
