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.
Guest Blog by Jack Wikman
I typically don’t ask for Guest blogs, but I certainly don’t mind if someone wants to do a guest blog here. It is great to get quality content for free. I just came home from visiting our 8 months old grandson Jack. We had a good time. We went to the zoo, I went fishing with my son, and Jack wrote a blog post which is shown below.
Me, my wife Claudia, and our grandson Jack.Jack is using my laptop to make a blog post. He provided the text, which I am posting below.
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.

Maybe he’ll write a book about Leonbergers someday. Our Jack just turned 2 and will be coming for a visit near the end of June.
Yes we are looking forward to that. Dada, blabla, isn’t really talk but one day they form a real word. Our oldest son’s (Jack’s dad) first word was “hot”, because we told him not to touch the stove. Our younger son’s first word was Duck and our daughter’s first word was “mama”.
Thank you so much Jacqui. You are right about the fingers being a hammer. He wasn’t really typing. He was slamming his fingers onto the keyboard and that’s the characters that came out.

I hope so. He can already say dada, but it may not mean dad (not yet)

I can’t believe a baby can spread his finger and use them individually so well. That is stunning. Usually, they’re a hammer!
And your wife–impressive she can hold a glass of water and a phone in one hand. I’d struggle with that.
