Brooklyn is getting up there in years and sometimes during the day goes through a “pet me damnit until your hand bleeds” stage.  It’s exhausting trying to entertain her when she’s awake… which is all of about 5 hours a day in total between naps.

Here she’s zonked out after being petted for like an hour.  We’re at the point now where we place an object on her to simulate the weight of our hand so we can get up and walk away quietly.  Sometimes it’s a stuffed animal, sometimes a small pillow… this time a fireplace glove.

Where does a St. Bernard  sleep?

Anywhere it damn well pleases.

Brooklyn is 11 1/2 yrs old now.  She has trouble getting up the basement stairs, so Shane cut up my good rug (yes, I had to stress that – good rug) to make a pathway up the stairs so she can grip something.

And yes, that IS duct tape.   That’s how we fix everything around here.
