Bernie

After months of missing The Little Man (our American dog), we finally broke down, went to the shelter outside of Doha, and came home with a Qatari sister for him! Originally, we were just going to foster her, but we got attached to her pretty quickly and now we've officially adopted her. Her name is Bernie (full name Ms. Bernadette Lomax--if you get the joke you're on our wavelength for sure).

Bernie is a mutt, possibly part Rottweiler, but only around 50 pounds. She is incredibly sweet and really funny. Lots of personality. She only has one functioning eye but she doesn't let that slow her down one bit! She runs around like a madwoman outside, but her favorite place in the world is cuddled as close to Jake or me as possible.


Here is a picture of Bernie all ready to work out (the clothes were to keep her away from her stitches from getting spayed:)


Dog food and supplies here are pretty hard to come by, so she's been living the high life--we make her some combination of meat, grains, and vegetables every day. Her coat is absolutely gorgeous as a result. We will definitely be feeding our dogs "real" food from now on.
