Last year, we decided it was time for a family dog. I have a list of things to do sitting on my desk at home, and I would always find “get a puppy” scribbled across, written by my daughter. She was relentless in her campaign and I completely caved when I saw a photo of a Bernedoodle, which is a mix of Bernese Mountain Dog and Poodle. The search began and we found a sweet little puppy on a farm in Southern Illinois. It’s hard to believe that this picture of her was taken less than a year ago…
