Bernese Mountain Dogs love strawberries

by drewkari on March 13, 2009

0021 Molly seems to love fresh organic strawberries.  This was our first red  strawberry and she couldn’t stop smelling it.  She was so cute.  A couple days went by and when I picked the next red one I noticed it had 3 little teeth imprints (they matched her top row teeth perfectly).. LOL

To see more pictures of Molly in our organic garden, visit my wife’s blog at Grow Organic Meals.

Carson keeping cool

Bernese Mountain Dog wearing his new Swamp Cooler Vest

000_00791

Notice the reflective stripes to help us be safe in traffic, this is a real plus as we don’t have sidewalks in our neighborhood & we walk near dusk when some cooler.

This vest has been the best investment…it really does keep him cooler on his walks. We live in Naples, FL really hot & humid here. We highly recommend this to anyone living in hot climates.

We purchased the cooling vest from our friends at Fetchdog, click on their site through our link under friends.  

Tip:  I keep the vest in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until our next walk.  I take it out just a few minutes before needed, this saves me from having to dry & re-wet for each use.  I wash it once a week on gentle cycle.
