Vintage Photos
I’m often asked why I love Saint Bernards so much. I really seem to struggle with a good, concise answer. To be honest, I have always been drawn to them, their size and fluffy fur despite being from the generation that refers to Saint Bernards as “Cujo” (yes I know that dates me). These days kids/people see them and shreek out “BEETHOVEN” – yes, just like Beethoven. This of course is immediately followed up with “does he slobber as much as Beethoven?” They do drool, but not like that!
One day I was going through a box of old photos and I came across this old 8×10 black and white photo from my first Christmas. My dad is holding me next to my first present, Bernie the GIANT stuffed Saint Bernard.
Even though I didnt have my first “real” saint until I was in my 30′s, I think I’d have to say my love of saints was definitely imprinted on me from birth. Thanks Daddy!
The second photo is of me when I was about 18 months old with the same Bernie. I had that stuffed animal for several years. I dont know what ever happened to it though.
It seems you were pretty much born into loving Bernies

Your pictures looks cute, at the first picture I thought the dog was really alive. Until now I wanted a Saint pet but unfortunately it’s impossible for me to have one.

If I could also post the huge stuffed toy my mom made for my two kids here too. Your picture post brings me back down to memory lane, well in fact I still have my photos of the two kids riding on the stuffed toys.

I am happy you finally have a live Saint Bernard. They are really adorable. I had seen Beethoven and wondered how it would feel to have a pet just like him. I hope soon my dream of having a Saint Bernard would come true.

The stuffed toy looks cute, but my dog also loves playing with the real thing. They are surprisingly gentle for their size, but you have to watch the slobber!

How interesting. I went to make a comment on a cute st bernard, and the anti spam word that came up was “Slobber”. Looks like it might not be just auto generating these words … Cute photos none the less. Thanks!

LOL… My anti spam program has the option for me to enter my own words. So, yes they are randomly generated, but from a list of words I have chosen
Thanks for your comment.
I grew up owning a St Benard just like that.So fun but really was nervous with crowds.

That giant plush toy is really cute. Do we still have this kind nowadays? My baby loves dogs but I can’t let her play with my puppy because she gets aggressive with dogs and might be bitten.
