The Wildflowers’ Birthday Party continues today with Lupine.
We have this update from her wonderful family:
“Lupine continues to provide love and entertainment every day. She is a very sweet girl, although prefers not to show that side when out in public as she does have a bit of a judgmental side and she either prefers her family over all others or has just found us easy to manipulate in her quest to rule the world.
She is one of the very smartest dogs we’ve ever met and so the joke is that Lupine is here to bend us to her will
Lupine is very loving when she decides to be. She chooses when she will get hands on attention, and she will simply walk away when she’s done. She’s the only Berner we know who will literally get up in the middle of a belly rub, walk away and lay down somewhere else.
But when she’s in the mood, she is the sweetest, softest girl. She loves to use her feet, putting them on our legs or shoulders (if she can reach) when she wants attention.
Lupine experiences a high level of stress when in environments with a lot of people or strange dogs. We try to give her a lot of opportunities for adventure in low stress areas. She goes to work quite often where she gets lots of walks in different places where she can see the world but keep her distance.
She loves to do Scent Work activities and training and she enjoys “working” around our property; searching the shop for cat toys to hoard, checking the mail, and finding any single sticky weed that she can add to her coat (for such a pretty girl, her nickname is Pig Pen) and DIGGING very nice holes that she could fit herself into! She also loves to run around in the mountains.”
Thank you, Jennifer and family, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUPINE!
