Happy International Dog Day to this beautiful and intelligent girl. She truly is international as she retains her Canadian registration. Bayberns Runnin' Down a Dream, call name Riley, aka Smiley Riley. ❤️

Funny thing is, we'll be saying the exact same thing when he (DJT) finally croaks. And it can't be soon enough.

Riley is quite bewildered by the news cycle and wishes Mom and Dad would quit watching/reading it, it's making them grumpy. There are more important things to think about...like her dinner for one. (Best. Puppy. Ever.) ❤️ #BerneseMountainDogs rule.

I realize that most people don't listen to musical posts on social media, but I just wanted to share this beautiful seasonal solo guitar piece. Written and performed by my amazing and talented husband, Nolan Anderson. Listen and enjoy the peace & beauty of the season. soundcloud.com/mad-anderson...

In our small Idaho town full of American flags we prefer to fly the flag of Cascadia -- or the "Doug Flag" as it's also known, a symbol of the Pacific NW bioregion -- just to keep our neighbors guessing.

Here's Riley right after her grooming appointment yesterday. (Photo taken by her groomer.) This girl is a natural therapy dog and keeps us sane (most of the time.) 💗 #BerneseMountainDogs

What a difference three years makes! Happy birthday a week late to the happiest and smartest puppy we've ever known. Baybern's Runnin' Down a Dream (call name Riley) born April 7, 2022. #BerneseMountainDogs are the best! ❤️

Whenever we need a break from the dismal news cycle all we need to do is look at this beautiful little girl's face. Riley is the calm in the ongoing storm and an invaluable therapy dog. #BerneseMountainDogs are just the best. ❤️

And this is what Idaho -- and our country -- has become. I'm a retired music teacher currently living in Idaho and I'm only thankful my time is over. My heart goes out to the hardworking and underpaid teachers out there who have to put up with this.

Smart girl that she is, Riley doesn't trust anything she hears on the news these days.

I can't tell you how many times I've said this very thing.

Just to take a break from the seriousness of the day and lighten up the mood for a brief moment, here's our goober dog Riley who is very excited about today's snowstorm. #BerneseMountainDogs are the best therapy. ❤️

Perfect wine for the times. A Cabernet Sauvignon from Browne Family Vineyards in my home town of Walla Walla, WA, whose business motto is, "Make great wines, practice empathy, strive for excellence, and leave the world a better place.” Imagine that.

Riley, who is from Victoria, BC, and whose registration is still with the Canadian Kennel Club, has submitted a plea to return to the country of her birth. Only if we can go with you, sweet girl. #BerneseMountainDog

As if my husband and I needed another reason to leave this shithole state...

This is so disappointing to say the least. Our small North Idaho community has little in the way of shopping -- our entire downtown business district was taken over by a local Christian Nationalist cult -- so our local Target was the "safe" place to spend our money. Not anymore, Target. Not anymore.

So someone tried to hack into my Facebook account last night so I posted that I will be temporarily deactivating it. I tried to include my Bluesky account info so people can still reach me and FB removed the post. Twice. 😡

I think a lot of us are feeling like this right now. (Noble yet bewildered.) #BerneseMountainDog

A peaceful Sunday morning at our house. Facebook shut down my posts and replies for some unknown and random reason so now I have more time to spend with these two beautiful goons. 💕

A composite of Nolan and me from the FB profile post celebrating our friendiversary. You wouldn't guess it from the looks of this but we're actually the happiest married couple I know. A couple of sullen and moody musicians, that's us. (He's a rock/blues guitar virtuoso.) ❤️

OK, that's the last time we let Riley watch the national (US) newscasts.

8 years ago today...Thinking of this beautiful soul at Christmastime and always. And as always, my gratitude to Dylan Champagne for composing this stunning musical portrait of my niece Laura and to my husband Nolan Anderson for capturing my performance so perfectly. ❤ soundcloud.com/mad-anderson...

OK, so she's not smiley ALL the time. Here's a rare photo of Riley at her regal and dignified best. It won't last long. ❤️ #BerneseMountainDogs

Will come up with something more interesting to post soon. In the meantime, here's another picture of our beautiful Riley (Baybern's Runnin' Down a Dream). Sweetest dog I've ever known.
