This blog feature amusing and heartwarming stories about our late Leonberger dog Bronco, as well as other Leonbergers. It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.
Today Is Rollos Birthday
Today is Rollo’s fifth birthday. Rollo grew up with his big brother the Leonberger Bronco, but we lost him three years ago and now it is just Rollo and his sister Daisy the Pug. Today they both had a so called pupcake, a cupcake especially made for dogs. Unlike some other pupcakes, it was soft, like a human cupcake and the dogs liked that, especially Daisy who is 15 years old and missing half her teeth.

Daisy participated but is not in the picture.Rollo’s birthday last year (4th birthday, coincidentally also on October 12).Another photo from Rollo’s birthday last year, with Daisy.Rollo almost five years ago, at his new home.Rollo almost five years ago, at his new home.Rollo almost five years ago, meeting his big brother Bronco.Rollo around four years ago, terrorizing his big brother Bronco.
My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

The dogs are awesome. Happy belated doggie birthday!
Thank you so much lastflyingcow. Your birthday wish wasn’t really belated. It was still October 12 here and we celebrated just a couple of hours before your wish and we will celebrate more tomorrow.
Yes, we have those, but he is named after the Viking king of Normandie who conquered Paris, well almost. Our Rollo may not be as brave though, preferring to sit in the pet stroller when he hear scary ducks quacking.
Happy birthday, Rollo! You look very handsome. I like all of your old photos, especially the one with Bronco, your big brother. I hope you enjoyed your pupcake!

Hi Thomas, what a lovely idea to have a little birthday party for Rollo. HIs name always reminds me of the sweets, Rolos. Do you get those in the USA?
