Scruffy Meets Fluffy

I may have a passion for scruffy dogs, but a puppy of any variety draws me in like a magnet. This past weekend we brought Baxter over to visit some friends and their new puppy -- an adorable, fluffy, rambunctious 10-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog who reminded me a bit of a living teddy bear. At seven years her senior, Bax didn't quite engage in the same play style, but they had a good time romping around the yard. And we just enjoyed soaking up some of that enthusiastic puppy energy (despite the occasional chomp of needle-teeth).

What a sweetie!
