The Three Little Berners
... well, maybe not so little!
We are puppy-sitting this weekend.
Remember Svenja, little miss yellow puppy?
That's her in the middle.
Karma is on the left, Koda on the right.
They are having a lot of fun!

Holiday Pictures FAIL
As a photographer, I work with a lot of families, children, and the occasional pet. I've received a lot of comments along the lines of "I want to learn my camera better, so I can take more pictures of my kids" That's a great idea ... in theory
My kids, and dogs are SO uncooperative with me. The kids see my camera, and roll their eyes and frown ... the dogs see my camera, and think that they can misbehave if I'm "hiding" behind the camera, and not keeping a stern eye on them, lol
Here's pictures from our recent attempt at Christmas photos, feel free to laugh.

This one is the epitome of our photoshoot
I love how the dogs can't even be looking the same direction. And the baby is too busy playing with leaves. This will probably be our Christmas card picture though - it might not be perfect, but its real life, and I love it :)
So, how awkward would it be to send out cards with just one of our kids pictures?
"Happy Holidays ... from the two who behaved" ;)

Dog Shaming
Have you seen the hilarious trend of "Dog Shaming"?
With a 4 1/2 month old puppy in the house, we've had ample "dog-shaming" opportunites!
Puppy Socialization
Socializing your puppy is a VITAL part of raising a puppy. It is 100000 times easier to help your puppy develop social skills now, than it is after that first year. I completely disagree with the trainers and breeders who say that there is no hope for a dog who didn't get that socialization - there is always hope. But it takes a lot of patience and time. Its drastically easier to work with your puppy now, than to wait!
Karma is in her second puppy class, called "Wonder Pets". We are working with her manners, especially not jumping excitedly on new friends, which is such a bad habit puppies try to develop, and needs stopped while they are small!
Karma's favorite part of class is playtime. She is very outgoing and friendly, and loves playing. Her puppy class is filled with several very respectful puppies, so its a great opportunity for her to develop proper play skills.

3 out of 4 puppies in the class are Berners, lol!
Karma & Milo (aka Koda's Orange pup!)
Playtime!
Our favorite part is how happily worn out Karma is after class!
Our brother & sister in-law also have a puppy, who is a month older than Karma, which has been great for socializing!
Aren't they a cute pair?
Picture update!
We have added a link to our instagram photos, which is where almost all our Berner pictures end up!
Here's a bunch of pictures just for fun though!

Two Berners = no room on the bed for the people!
Karma loves picking up the kids from school!
Happy Belated Halloween!
Koda is so sweet with our 19 month old baby!
Karma is a blanket thief!

Koda's Puppies!
One of our FAVORITE things is seeing our puppies growing up with their wonderful forever families, and getting updates from them. It seriously MAKES OUR DAY!
And in this post, we have THREE updates!
First - Milo (orange) is in Karma's "Wonderpups" Class at Calling All Dogs in SLC! It started last week, and we were waiting for our classroom to be ready, when who walked in the door? Milo and his Mommy! We will be in the same puppy class for 6 weeks! Next week, I've got to get some pictures. Milo is SO handsome and well behaved, and his Mommy is just so sweet.
Second - We got a message and a picture from Piper (red) and her family. I am so, SO happy to see how loved and adored our sweet red puppy is!
Third - This morning, we got a message FULL of pictures of Okie May (purple) - SQUEE!
Hey Elozia! Just wanted to share some recent pics of Miss Okie May! Can't believe she's almost 6 months!
And in this post, we have THREE updates!

"Piper, aka Miss Red, is getting in the holiday spirit! She's a great family dog - couldn't ask for a better, very loving [dog], so thank you! Happy Holidays!"
