More: Pepper is sweet, super intelligent, fun loving and a huge personality that absolutely rules our home. Although her home is in Texas, she spends some of the year in Northern Idaho and Montana (where this pic is taken) and constantly reminds us of her Bernese Mountain Dog heritage. She loves hiking and running in the hills, climbing and digging. Everyday, she wants to play hide and seek behind rocks and trees and she has recently taught us that sometimes she wants to be the seeker while we hide and let her find us. She’s also a water lover. She loves swimming in lakes, ponds, streams and in-ground swimming pools. Later this month she will take her first Paddle Board ride in Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho,.
