Daisys Mum Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 OMG look at his feet he is going to be a big boy! He is gorgeous cassie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassie Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Last one for now. This is Moose and Sumo. My other Bernese Zephyr passed away from cancer not long ago, and Moose has been a bit lonely since, so it's nice for him to have a brother again :) Edited May 18, 2013 by cassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Awww... doesn't Moose look really happy to have a little brother to show the ropes? Sumo is stunning! Enjoy him being "little" while you can... he's gonna get big fast methinks... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cassie Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thankyou everyone for your kind words, they are my world :) Oh my goodness! He is gorgeous! Do they require a lot of grooming? By "they" do you mean Saints or Bernese, or both? Anyway neither breed is too difficult to maintain. A thorough brush once a week is enough to remove dead coat and keep any tangles under control. At the moment I'm brushing Sumo every day but that's purely so he gets used to it. I often let Moose go longer than a week if I'm being a bit slack, and there's never an issue with matting.

cassie Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Awww!!! Great name too !! (my british shorthair is Sumo) Ahhhh maybe THAT'S where I've heard it before!!! :D We were agonising over names for weeks and weeks and nothing seemed right. I had a huge list but OH and I just couldn't agree on one. Finally I came up with Sumo, didn't think I had ever heard of it for a dog name before, and perhaps I still haven't if it's your cat's name! :laugh: But yes I love it and it seems to really suit him :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
