I am answering a Frequently Barked Question (FBQ) this week. FBQ: Are Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, or Great Pyrenees, destructive? Clowie: My short answer to that is that a contented and trained adult Pyrenean Mountain Dog is not destructive. I have not damaged anything in the house or garden since I…
When my bipeds first took me home with them I was only six weeks old. I was one of eleven puppies and, as we grew and became more active, my mother’s bipeds were finding it difficult to give us all as much attention as we needed. As we were all…
I am answering a Frequently Barked Question: How do I stop my puppy from stealing things? I have been told about puppies running away with items of clothing when their bipeds are getting dressed, puppies running off with the remote control when their bipeds want to watch television, puppies unpacking…
When I was a puppy I would bounce like Tigger from “Winnie-the-Pooh” when I was excited. This sounds cute, but it can be difficult for the biped on the other end of the lead when the puppy is large. My bipeds usually asked me to “sit” and we would wait…

I’ve already told you about when I met Pippin – the first time I ever saw a cat. Pippin needed some time to adjust to the idea of having a puppy in the house. Mulberry was a kitten and he was a lot more enthusiastic about the idea. I’d been…
I’m a Santa Pup – I’m not in Disney’s Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups and I’m not a puppy anymore, I’m an adult. But I am a Pyrenean Mountain Dog (Great Pyrenees) and I can tell you everything you need to know about those puppies. They look really cute and…
