Bernie's Visit

Bernie is adorable! And immense. His head is about level with the kitchen counter, it's as big as a bowling bowl, and Beasley, Brandy's beagle, can walk through his legs. He and Beasley had a little tiff, which sadly ended in Beasley getting on a chair, telling Bernie about himself, and Bernie backing down. Beasley didn't appreciate a monster trying to chase and play. Only I could find a 150lb wimpy dog. He only showed his vision issues once by running into the fence. But in his defense the garage light was shining behind it, with a glare probably making it less visible. Bonus, he didn't fall down the stairs to the basement. He's definitely a drooler, no shock there, but nothing I couldn't deal with. I'll just need strategically placed towels throughout the house. He seems to be a cuddler and would put his butt in my lap. Overall he's very well behaved. And luckily, I don't have too many easily accessed breakables, since his tail did knock one of the speakers off the television stand. Odds are pretty good that I'll get him, as the other people really interested in him had cats, which he tried to eat. And his foster parents didn't seem to have any concerns about me or the house. I think it's just a matter of filing paperwork and him getting corrective surgery to his eyelids before he can be officially adopted. I'm so excited!!! Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
