Broken
Since everyone else is posting photos of dogs, I get to do it, too. This little cutie is my mom and dad's four-month old St Bernard. She's the sweetest little 55-lbs puppy you could ever imagine! She's also a 55-lbs puppy with four left feet and enough energy to make the Energizer Bunny green. When she's around, it's best to puppy proof anything below waist level, or it will be broken.

Why is she attacking those poor farmers? Don't you have leash laws in Finland?
ReplyDeletewhew, i'm glad it wasn't her leg that is broken when i first saw the pic
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing a picture of her cute face...they are cuddlbugs...but boy are they clumsy ;)
ReplyDelete55 pounds at 4 months? I think you're gonna need a bigger bag of dog food. (Dear god, thank you for talking me out of another big dog this time! )
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a St. Bernard, but my father was totally against it. So, as a child I had him sign a contract to get my first-born a St. Bernard. He saved that paper and presented it to me when I had my first baby. Good thing he decided to break the contract!!! They are so cute, but need lots of space!!
ReplyDeletefrisky puppies are so much fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteThat dog's all tail. I can just imagine the damage when that thing starts wagging'.
ReplyDeletehahaa - I just got up all bleary-eyed and drowsy to laugh through you post.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
ReplyDeleteHey Ziva! A 55-lb puppy with four left feet? Damn, he sounds magnificent! I wanna meet this fluffy wrecking ball! Indigo x
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing as Dufus. That tail looks more dangerous than the 4 left feet. Sweet shot, Ziva.
ReplyDeleteZoe has "happy tail syndrome" and we even considered having her tail amputated. She's a hazard to everything and everyone including herself. She doesn't realize that she has a lethal whip attached to her hind quarters. What a pretty puppy! At least that tail isn't skinny and whiplike!
ReplyDelete55-pounds and puppy in the same sentence. Wow. Keep that wrecking about away from my house.
ReplyDeleteShe sure is a cute walking disaster, though!
She sure is, and cuteness always comes before wrecking capacity.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you didn't really consider that, a tailless dog is a sad dog, and Zoe is just so amazing, even if her tail is a little on the happy side.. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheryl! The tail is growing more and more dangerous with each day.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she'd love to meet you, too, she loves strangers. Especially if they come bearing treats.
ReplyDeleteI know, right!
ReplyDeleteHah, the best way to read about huge puppies.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you have no idea!
ReplyDeleteThey totally are!
ReplyDeleteI had a St. Bernard growing up and I loved it! Perhaps you need to reconsider. ;)
ReplyDeleteA bigger bag? Still not going to be enough...
ReplyDeleteCute and clumsy, that sums them up perfectly!
ReplyDeleteOh no, that would be horrible. Luckily that wasn't the case.
ReplyDeleteWe do, but someone's got to keep the farmer problem in check.
ReplyDeleteZiva, we actually did consider it. Zoe whacked her tail so hard that she bled profusely and splattered blood all over the house. The clean up was a mess, but even worse, we worried about her getting some of the places infected. There actually is a "happy tail syndrome" and it can be a mess to deal with. Eventually, Alex and I decided that having her tail amputated (the vet recommended it) would be a little bit like amputating her smile so we didn't do it. Zoe's tail is exactly like a whip (ask Nicky and Max). But we live with it.
ReplyDeleteSO how much does that pony...I mean puppy eat??? Holy canolli... 55 lbs puppy....
ReplyDeleteDogs are so good at breaking stuff. That said, they don't hold a handle to kids.
ReplyDeleteI love St Bernards. They are a little slobbery but have such sweet dispositions. I love that your photo captured all her energy. Precious really.
ReplyDeleteI GET IT I GET IT I GET IT! Oh boy do we have to watch our puppy every single second. What a gorgeous dog!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCute. Hard to break anything in that empty cornfield. That is a cornfield, right?
ReplyDeleteWell no. It's a field. It's empty. It used to be a potato field, now it's just a field.
ReplyDeleteObviously.
Haha! Katherine, I love dogs, you can post as many photos of dogs as you want. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey do slobber a LOT. It's really quite gross. But the cuteness makes up for it.
ReplyDeleteHah! You'd know.
ReplyDeleteEat? It doesn't eat, it devours.
ReplyDeleteTreats? Does she (apologies) have a sweet tooth? Or maybe a nice marrowbone?... There will be a big fuss, whatever. Indigo x
ReplyDeleteShe'll love you no matter what you bring, she loves everyone. :)
