We are a family of 6: my fiance, our two Bernese Mountain dogs, and two cats. For some time we have called our home Animal Kingdom, but with time comes new names.
The most senior member of Animal Kingdom is Lexa. She is a beloved 8.9 year old Berner in amazing shape. While she lounges gracefully most of the day, given the opportunity she'll leap up and down at the prospect of a good walk. Lexa's full name is Newcastle's Lexa Pip!
Our other dog (a year and half old, 138 pound Berner) has a variety of names: DJ Puppy is his given name. The name didn't intend to stand for anything other than "disc jockey"-- in the weeks leading up to getting him, we pictured a Berner puppy with giant headphones (after a late night seeing the amazing DJ Bassnectar!). However, like Lexa, he has a more formal name which includes the breeder-- and that is: DeGrasso's Joyful Mystery.
After bringing 17 pound ball of puff DJ Puppy on a whirlwind tour to meet nieces, nephews, and granddogparents at Christmas, one week after we got him, a 3-year old nephew intending to say "He's so furry!" instead said "He's so furzy!" Furzee stuck, and soon became the faux-Icelandic "Furse" (pronounced Fur-sah).
The other morning Robert got up before me and let the dogs out. He came back to the bedroom and announced "The Fursans have been out, but have not yet had breakfast!"
Well, meet the Fursons. Within a week, this agile proper noun has comfortably fit our family like a warm furry coat...big enough to include everyone, even the two cats: Charlie and Johnny Perez.
