Onyx - Bernese Mountain Dog

About Me: I was born in Crown Point, Indiana and came to live with Mom and Dad when I was eight weeks old. They have a lot of land, so I enjoy going out and patrolling daily. I like to walk the periphery to ensure that all is well and that there are no interlopers or anything. I'm only two, so don't have a lot of life experience, but am learning a lot from my brother Buster and sister Petunia.

Nicknames: Loaf, Loafy, Pudsie, Pudders, Roonie

My Motto: Life is a dangerous, scary place, but with constant attention an

Likes: Pet, Pet, Touch, Pet, Touch, Pet...Repeat

Pet-peeves: Anyone daring to come into MY cul-de-sac or MY driveway

Best Tricks: I know how to shake, but that's about the extent of it. Mom and Dad didn't teach me any tricks

Favorite Activities: Anything that involves contact with Mom and Dad. I have an insatiable need for petting, and like to root in whenever Mom and Dad are trying to give attention to Buster or Petunia. I also like to wander around the yard and eat various animals the cat has beheaded...fun. I try to avoid the "danger zone", which Mom and Dad call the kitchen. it's a very scary place for me because the floor is hard wood and I slide around on it sometimes. I won't even go into the adjoining room where Mom and Dad keep my food and water. They say I'm "neurotic", but I haven't figured out what that means yet.

Favorite Food: Cheerios, Wheat Square Cereal, Sour Cream, Whipped Cream

Favorite Toy: Whatever Buster and Petunia are playing with

Favorite Walk: I don't like to leave my property, but enjoy walking all around the yard in the woods looking for dead stuff to roll in.
