Deborah, If you can teach your puppy to go down those 5 stairs gently, it will pay off in years to come! And if you can keep Henley from leaping off the top of that porch right to the ground, please share your secret! It seems impossible to imagine now that he's only 8 weeks, but he's going to be unstoppable soon enough!
And if this is your first Berner, then you are probably suffering from a beginning case of FBS. (First Berner Syndrome), undoubtedly to be followed by SBS. Trust me. Take lots of pictures, enjoy - and sniff that puppy breath for me! Pat Long (& Luther) Berwyn PA
