We have a part time dog, we are her safe place. She gets nervous when there is shooting in the area…hunting season is open for Partridge/Grouse, Rabbits, Squirrels, Fox, Turkey etc… when we are walking we usually hear some kind of shooting especially on the weekends.
So Odda gets scared/or gets a wild hair and she comes to visit…she knows the routine…she comes to the window to announce her arrival by wagging her big old fluffy tail on the window. We call her Mom and then go out and get some “Odda time.” She is always happy when her Mom comes to get her.
Odda is a Berner..a Bernese Mountain Dog. They don’t live a long life only 6-8 years so Odda is living on borrowed time…she is nine years old.
She and Chance were good pals…we cannot tell if she looks for him or not. She is always happy to see us. If we are not home she waits for us. We have known her since she was a pup. Sometimes I think she just misses us and comes for a visit.

I hate gunfire too. Maybe I'll come sit on your porch with Odda! Lovingly, Andrea xoxo
Such a nice friend to stop by. I bet she gets a few hugs when she comes.
What a shame those beautiful dogs only live for such a short time.
When we had a lake house we had weekend dogs, which we greatly enjoyed m
Poor thing...gunfire is scary for anyone nowadays. She is so pretty...looks like a cross between Chance and Nitty! LOL! She probably came because she knew you guys needed it. Dogs are so much more intuitive than humans.
I am so happy Odda feels safe at your house. Just got back from a wonderful time visiting my son and family last week
I have enjoyed Odda over the years. I didn't realize they live such short lives. I could never own one, then. I still cry over lost pets from decades ago. But I'm a softie like that. :-)
She is a beautiful dog!
Sweet, sweet Odda. She has a nice smile.
A part-time dog is a wonderful thing. We have a part-time cat - wish more in the neighborhood would stop by for a pet.
Glad there is a dog in your life, even if part time. I actually had a Bernese Mountain Dog when I was a kid. Now I have switched to tri-colored Border Collies!! My old boy, Scout, had markings exactly like a Bernese Mountain Dog. Ian's tri coloring is more subtle, but it is there!
Oh my goodness, Odda is an absolutely beautiful dog. I had no idea they only lived that short of a time. I don’t think I could ever have one. I get so attached to our animals, it breaks my heart when they’re gone. How lovely that she comes to visit you. She obviously knows that you and Far Guy are special people and she’ll get lots of love there. Blessings, Betsy
She is very beautiful! I'm glad she goes to you and doesn't run off into the forest and get lost
I wondered if Odda came to visit!! So glad she does.
She is a beautiful dog. Your place is a safe haven. :)
Awww.... must make you happy when she visits.
She knows that you want some good company.
It's great that Odda has you to run to for comfort and good lovin'.
Such a beautiful dog, and a welcome visitor. We enjoy visits from our borrowed cat too, and we still don't know who her real family is.
Beautiful dog that knows how to be a good visitor too. Always a good thing to pet a dog.
I have always enjoyed hearing about Odda. I really like the colors on a Berner. You can tell that they have such a sweet spirit.
Odda is another beautiful dog. How nice that she comes to visit you once in awhile. I hope she'll be around this world for a while yet!
How sweet that she comes to visit you!
Wow...six to eight years doesn't seem like a long enough time for a dog. I'm surprised to hear that. Hopefully, Odda will keep being healthy...and not too stressed out during hunting season :(
How nice that you get a canine visitor sometimes.
oh that Odda.... she is a people lover!
Stay safe traveling over, Odda, but keep visiting. We all need you :-).
Odda sure is pretty. She probably loves you both and looks for a reason to visit.
Odda is beautiful. There has to be a good reason for any dog to visit a lot. She must like it there!
