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’s prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday May 16 is “sweet”. Use it way you’d like. The first rule is: there should be minimal planning and no editing except typos.
The first thing that came to my mind was how sweet my dogs have been and how many sweet dog photos I have taken of Leonbergers and of our other dogs throughout the years. I’ve also downloaded many shutterstock photos of Leonbergers. I intend to pick just a few of those. So, my stream of consciousness is to randomly pick sweet dog photos from the thousands of photos that I have. I will select 25 photos, but I don’t know yet which photos that will be. Let’s see!
25 Sweet Leonberger and Dog Photos my Quick Picks

Finally, if you want to see other 25 sets of dog photos see below (this list I copied from another of my posts).
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.

You’re welcome! 🙂 Your photos are always lovely to see. As a fellow dog lover, you might like my last post. It’s a collection of video shorts featuring dogs at play. 😀
Wow how did I miss that post. I am subscribing. Those six videos were fun to watch. Zoey, Rupert, Cleo, Rosie and Kensie (did I forget someone) are beautiful and wild dogs having a lot of fun. Certainly very sweet and fun to watch.
There was also Rupert, the little one chasing after the big black dogs. 🙂 Since you mentioned it, I was wondering why you have visited none of my posts or left any comments for quite some time. Perhaps you aren’t getting any notifications? (You could try subscribing again.) I actually sent you a message on your contact form here a few weeks ago, asking if there was a technical problem accessing my blog. That had happened to someone recently, due to her security program blocking my site. Also, I had to revert to the original contact form, which requires you to fill in name and email, because the other one didn’t work well. Hope that’s not a problem.
Wow you are right Debbie. I have not seen your posts for a while. I just assumed you were taking a break. I certainly did not unsubscribe. I am going to back there now and check.
Thanks! I did take a break for April, but came back on May 1. My records show you as still subscribed, but WP.com has been known to “unsubscribe” people, sometimes. The Reader can be glitchy.
I just resubscribed. The way it looked like with the subscribe button and all and getting a welcome email when I subscribed seems to indicate that I was not subscribed before, which is strange.
I resubscribed now and left a few comments on a few of your posts. I hope it worked. It was very interesting reads/looking at pictures. I don’t know how I got unsubscribed. I know I didn’t do it. I also can’t find the contact form email you mentioned.
Thanks! I saw your comments and appreciate you taking the time. 🌹 I had a hunch that email disappeared into cyberspace! 😆 I think there might be some kind of malfunction between self-hosted WP.org (which I use) and WP.com, which is your platform. They are related, but don’t always “play nicely” together.
I was debating between WP.com and WP.org when I started but decided to go with WP.com because WP.org seemed to require more skill, which I felt I did not have time for as a first time blogger. I am impressed that you doing WP.org, but it gives you more flexibility. It is too bad they don’t always play nicely. However, the email dissappearing that is on my side. But maybe that was just that it went to junk. Sometimes I delete the stuff in junk too quickly. That’s because every congressman and Senator in the US want my donations.
I started with WP.com in 2009, but wanted more freedom, so switched to WP.org in 2013. It was a huge challenge, but I love learning all the technical aspects of running a website, as well as web design. And I’m a control freak who needs complete autonomy. 😉 (German, you know… 😆) Yes, I’m sure my message ended up in your spam folder. Glad we got everything sorted out now. Thanks again for taking the time tonight.
Ha ha, control freak, but that is a great trait in this case. You learning all that is very impressive. When I started blogging in 2022 I had planned to eventually move to WP.org but it never happened. However, further back in time, in 2005 to 2008 I created a site hosted on GoDaddy. It had family photos. It is still there but I haven’t touched it since 2008.
Thanks! 🙂 To be honest, I was pretty impressed with myself too, because I wanted nothing to do with PCs until my father bought me one for Christmas in 2008. I took to it like the proverbial “duck to water” and am totally addicted now. 😆
Great that you have a record of all those family photos so you can relive those memories! I’ll check it out.
Thank you Debbie. I just saw your last comment. I went to bed last night and we also lost power (the entire night), so I am responding late. Also I could not respond to your latest comment because we ran out the depth the comments have, an annoying WP.com feature that I am sure you don’t have to deal with when using WP.org. Your story about your journey from a computer skeptic to a major computer nerd (it seems) was fascinating reading, and that it is was your old dad who got you going down that path. I left a comment. It was an old post so I am not sure it worked.
Losing power is never fun, and there’s no need to apologize! As for comment depth, the max setting is 10 for both .com and .org. You can get around that by writing your response in the WP Reader (which I am doing now) or the notifications panel on the right-hand side. Thanks for reading my computer nerd story! 🙂 I saw your comment and will reply shortly. Comments stay open. I don’t set a time limit and have good anti-spam plugins in place.
I didn’t realize that maximum was 10 for the comment depth on both WP.com and WP.org. Neither did I know you can get around it by using the reader. However, I never use the reader so I am very unfamiliar with it.
Thank you so much Di. Rollo and Bronco got along very well. Rollo admired his big friend, even though he pestered him, and Bronco was patient and protective.
A lot of the big dogs are. My ex SIL had a great dane and he was massive, but so gentle and protective of the kids. For no reason at all he turned, and they had to have him put to sleep. No-one was hurt, but there was definitely something going on. The autopsy showed he had a huge brain tumour which would have been inoperable.
Yep. Those are some really sweet pictures! I especially love the ones where Bronco is playing with puppy Rollo, and Baby is playing with Bronco, and little Rollo is playing with the big orange ball.
So sweet Thomas! I love dogs. All dogs. ❤
