Ingrid the Bernese Mountain Dog

Meet Ingrid!  She is a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog.  I adore her.  She is a giant teddy bear; she lets you lay on her belly and envelopes you in her soft curls.  She even looks like a bear.  I've been sitting for Ingrid for a little over a year and she has become my pal.  She came up to my cabin with me last summer, she'd let my foster dog Buddy come stay with her when I'd sit her, and she comes to work with me on occasion.  One of my favorite things about her is her mellow/peaceful demeanor.  We'll go on walks and she'll just saunter down the sidewalk, like she has all the time in the world and no cares at all.  But she loves to play in the snow and water!  When it snows she chases and catches snowballs like a playful pup and lays in it to cool off.  She swims and stands in the water on hot summer days, which is so funny because sometimes the water will be up to her shoulders and she just stands there looking around like everything is totally cool.  And I guess in a literal sense, she is cool!
