Bernadoodles are nearly as ‘happy stoner of the dog world’ as golden retrievers are. Gusgus, who will be two in April, is no exception.

So okay hear me out: a one-year-old dog is about similar to a twelve year old kid: almost finished getting taller, not finished filling out, physically able to do most things an adult can but sooooo not ready to actually be an adult. So it just makes sense to me that a one-year-old dog should get twelve birthdays, and that equals one a month, and so Finley, who was born seven months ago today, is having a birthday today, and this is a hill that I will die on.
(Sorry, next week I’ll have a cat for you on caturday but this was important.)
I first ran into Rufus a year and a half ago, when he was one year old, when he was but a wee pre-puli with no dreadlocks at all. Today he looks a lot different!
Dexter is six months old! Dexter is also eight months old! How is this possible? Well, it just so happens that I took some pictures of Dexter last December, and somehow they got imported into my photos app on my computer but did not get imported into the ‘imports’ folder, and so I had no idea they even existed. (In fact, it just took me over fifteen minutes to find them even knowing to look for them so there’s that.) And then I ran into Dexter again and his mom told me that I hadn’t posted him, and that Dexter was very disappointed.
Dexter is also CLEARLY a Bernese mountain dog, who is also a bernadoodle genetically but he looks nothing like a bernadoodle at all. So hey, he can be two different ages at the same time if he wants to be.
Edit: OMG I saw Dexter today! Don’t see a lot of pups on their actual day. So awesome!
We have an adoptable pup today! Danbi is the big ‘un: she’s a seven-year-old standard poodle, and she’s a very kind and gentle pup, who loves people and other dogs and, so far as we can determine, everything else, except maybe for not being adopted yet. (She certainly loves Joy, who is her temporary sister, and also seven years old, but not up for adoption.
If she looks like you might like her as much as she would undoubtedly like you, you can find her at Second Chances!
Dachshund? Where? All I see is a delicious perfectly-cooked crescent roll!
