How do you keep your Great Pyrenees happy? Over the years, I've come up with my top 10 tips for a happy Great Pyrenees.

I’m always trying to figure out what I can do to keep Mauja and Atka happy. While the fluffies are our whole world, I continually feel there is more I could do for them. After much thought, I came up with 10 tips for a happy Great Pyrenees.

Buy an expensive dog bed

Then watch the dog bed sit in the corner collecting dust while your Great Pyrenees prefers to lay on the cool, hard floor. Or completely take over your couch. One of the two.

Set up play dates

You want to keep your Pyrenees exercised and socialized. After 5 minutes of play, realize Pyrenees has settled into guard dog duty in the shade instead.

My Dogs Make Me Smile When…

My Dog Makes Me Smile When

Atka makes me smile when…

  • he attempts to catch his favorite ball
  • he prances through the house with toy in his mouth
  • he pounces on a toy like a dopey puppy
  • his big, droopy jowls flop around
  • he kisses with just the tip of his tongue

Mauja makes me smile when…

  • she takes over Nick’s spot on the bed
  • she snuggles up on the couch
  • she grumpy barks (aka talks back)
  • she sleeps belly up
  • she zoomies around the yard

I decided to limit my list to only five things per fluffy, or it would be an endless list! Mauja and Atka make me smile me smile each and every day. They are my fluffy, mood lifters.

This is a story from last summer, but it’s too cute to not share. When we got Mauja, we were living on the central coast of California. I absolutely loved the weather. Shorts and flip flops on Christmas? Score! Mauja did great in the weather, but I’m sure she was happy when the Air Force gave us orders to move to Montana. A much better climate for a pyr 🙂

Where we are stationed in Montana is about 3 hours from Glacier National Park. If you’re not familiar, it is beautiful. Definitely the most beautiful place I have ever been. [Read more…] about What’s This White Stuff?
