Clover and Sprout, in a rare moment of peace, survey the neighbourhood. #Teamclover #SproutTheBerner #leonbergers #BerneseMountainDog #dogsofmastodon

A large brown Leonberger and a Bernese Mountain Dog sit close enough that they are touching. They have their backs to you, and are looking out over a garden. A large catmint plant, with blue flowers, can be seen to the right of the picture.

Mouse hopes you had a fantastic #caturday and that your dog friends are as well behaved as his. #catsofmastodon #SproutTheBerner #teamclover #dogsofmastodon

An off-white cat looks toward the camera while his two dog friends are hopeful of a treat from the dinner table. The nearest dog, a Leonberger, has a black face and her coat is many shades of brown. The other dog, a Bernese Mountain Dog, has a black coat, with brown accents. He also has white markings on his face, which is all that can be seen.

You can see, if you look carefully, a Northern Flicker looking down on Sprout the Berner. The Flickers excavated a nest about 8 feet above the ground, and so far have largely ignored the dogs. #SproutTheBerner #BerneseMountainDog #dogsofmastodon #birds #gardenbirds

A Bernese Mountain Dog, called Sprout, sits in front of the main trunk of an old willow tree. Sprout is largely black, with a white chest and nose. He has a white stripe on his forehead. He also has brown cheeks and legs. Up the trunk of the tree, just above a slender branch that runs up from right to left, is a hole. In the hole a female Northern Flicker is watching the scene below.

The male Flicker is perching on the top of the branch that runs from the center of the tree to the top right of the picture. The bird's nest is on that same branch, on the outside right edge above the fence line. The female peers out. Two dogs are at the center of the frame.

Our daughter took this picture of Sprout, she described his face as "crunkled". He had a hair across his nose and was trying to get it off. #SproutTheBerner #BerneseMountainDog #dogsofmastodon #dogs

Sprout, our Bernese Mountain Dog, displays his teeth and crunkled up face as he tries to get a hair off his nose. He is black, with brown legs and cheeks. He has a white chest, cheeks and a white line up the center of his face. The tips of his toes are also white. He is laying on his front left paw, so it looks as if he only has three legs.

We took Clover and Sprout to the dog park this morning, and they ran their guts out for an hour. Very entertaining. When we got them home we discovered that their fur was full of burrs, which meant an hour of grooming. They are both exhausted. #SproutTheBerner #BerneseMountainDog #teamclover #leonbergers #dogsofmastodon

Two dogs lay on a concrete patio. To the left, a brown Leonberger, called Clover. has her snout between her paws. Her face is black, her eyes brown. She is looking at the camera. Her coat is many shades of brown. The Bernese Mountain Dog at the right, called Sprout, is mainly black but has brown markings visible on his face and legs. His paws are tipped white, and he has a white nose and a flash of white on his forehead. They are both very tired looking. There are assorted dog toys behind Clover.

Clover the Leonberger is an early riser. This morning it was 635am, and Mrs. B's turn for a sleep-in. I got up, made coffee and sat and watched these two pose in the back garden. Such good looking dogs. #teamclover #SproutTheBerner #leonbergers #BerneseMountainDog #dogsofmastodon
