A few days ago I went on a walk with my buddy Bert and Miss Sophie.
That's him right there. The Golden Boy himself.
You might be asking yourself, "Golden Boy Bert was mischievous?" Yes Friends, this Search and Rescue, Therapy, all around goody goody dog has a mischief side. On this one I agree with my MOM and Miss Vickie.
Looks innocent enough right? Butt what you may not know is he is asking permission to jump into the river! I AM NOT KIDDING.
He then puts his toes in, hoping to get the go ahead to slash in.
And when no one would say "It's OK Bert, go ahead and take a dip." He just turned and submerged himself in the ICY waters.
Even Miss Sophie, as much as she LOVES Bert, stays on the snowy bank. Butt of course she is ready to give him smooches when he comes back up.
Can you see the icicles hanging off his furs?! And he is smilin' about this. Or maybe that smile on his face is just frozen there. Right after this photo was taken he jumped right back in again!
He called me over to join him butt I still have a few more brain cells than my Golden Boy buddy. Oh sure I dipped my toes to get a drink, but jump in???? He has to be crazy. If that isn't mischief enough when he comes up out of the icy water he runs over to my MOM and shakes. MOM says that is most defiantly mischief. Butt it does not end there friends. After he shakes off on my MOM he does this....
He rolls and rolls in the snow and gets his furs all iced up. He says it's called "freeze-dried". If you ask me I think the icy water has frozen more than a few brain cells.
Blessings,
Goose
Dah!! what you mean Goosey boy....I I I I I ain ain aint k.k.k.k.razy or k.k.k.k koldd. I mean cccolddd. I still got allllllllll my bbbbbbraaaiiin cellllls.
ReplyDeleteNothin wwwwrrrrronggg with meeeee
He may look all pretty and smart, but we know he must have a screw loose somewhere to jump in the water in the winter time! That Bert sure is a silly one!
ReplyDeleteMe Thinks he is Nuts, you better haul him in for a checkup, shine a light in on eat and check for brain!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Oh my cat! We wonder what Miss Vicki thought about that mess!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
Silly Bert! Maybe he was just trying to show off how brave he is and how nothing fazes him? But the rolling in the snow was just uncalled for.
ReplyDeleteYikes Bert sure was up to mischief. Brrrr that makes us fell cold. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
It is always nice to see Bert ...we miss him but dog oh dog...that boy is just plain crazy

ReplyDeletemaintained your senses!!

mol mol mol

MOL at the iron comment...
ReplyDeleteThat Bert is certifiability one crazy golden.
ReplyDeleteI don't know any doggie who would go in the freezing water for fun.
But that is what makes Bert so special.

OMD.....Quick, grab the toolbox. I thinks that Bert has a few loose nuts and bolts!
ReplyDelete:)
It's a great idea to make your own ice cream with your fur, but I better don't try it, I'm blue with cold while reading and imagine Bert's adventure. Have a great monday
ReplyDeleteOMD OMD Goose... we think that living with Allred has Messed with Berts Brains. It is amazing that he didn't turn into a big PUPSICLE.
ReplyDeleteWe hope that he didn't get the Sickies from this. OH never mind... we furgot that the sickie germs would have FROZEN before they could do their damage.
Bert.... all we can say is BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT ! What were you thinking?
most definitely MISCHIEF....but funny and i am smiling as i type... that last roll in the snow made me LOL
ReplyDelete*sheesh* Here we thought Bert was all wonderful and well-behaved and whatnot, and now we see he's not so much well-behaved as having frozen most of his brain cells! At least Burt makes everyone else around him look well-behaved now! Heehee! (BTW, we like snow, but you don't see US taking a dip in barely-above-freezing water!)

He is lucky he didn't turn into an ice cube
ReplyDeleteLily
Oh my gosh - way tooooo cold for us! He sure looks happy though!
ReplyDeleteMonty and Harlow
BERT is HYSTERICAL! I bet he received lots of snuggles to warm him up. Smart cookie!
ReplyDeleteOMD, I'm shivering just looking at that!!!!
ReplyDeleteGotta love that Bert!!! What a crazy guy!
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & Greta
OUR mom is shaking and running for the heater as she reads this!!! He needs to join the POLAR BEAR CLUB after that!!!!
ReplyDeletestella rose
Yup, Bert loves his water and no cold day is gonna stand in his way!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Mom says she is glad we don't get to go to the river because she thinks Lightning would try that too. It is really cold here today, it was 10 below when we first went out, but at least this time we all came back in very quickly.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
brrrr Bert!
ReplyDeleteSounds like he enjoys an icy bath.
ReplyDeleteI have missed you so and I miss Zoie too so much!!!
ReplyDeleteWe don't even want to go out in that weather let alone go swimming in it! Crazy! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteGoose - some crazy friends you got there! Glad you didn't jump in with him.
ReplyDeleteI think Bert is part Polar Bear! I like the fact the he still has a mischievous side to him, embrace your inner puppy!
ReplyDeleteI love Mr. Bert!!!! He and my black dog would get along beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Bert fix. I'm glad that Goose has a few more brain cells than him :)
Just reading this makes us shiver!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great 'ole fashion snowy fun!
ReplyDeleteI miss Bert and am so glad to see him. He is a bit silly and I would go no where near that cold water, but a Berts gotta do what a Berts gotta do.
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Bert is a big show off!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Dexter

ReplyDeleteGoose!!!
ReplyDeleteMe is glad that yous dis not get in there! Yous does not has all the extra furs that Bert has!
And the shake thing, my hairy slobbery sisters Bob and Cinnamon does that too!!!
Kisses and stay warm
Nellie
That is more than mischief... That is just CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteGood heavens. I had to grab my blankie and sit by the fire to even look at those photos. Crazy dog!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteI like to go into the water to cool off on a hot day, or warm day...on a snowy day I prefer to stay indoors! or go indoors if my Human insists I "go" outside...I only stay out long enough...
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
