Ziege recently died of histiocytosis at the age of 8.5. Her brother Rosco died two years ago (nearly to the day) of the same disease. If any one knows the fate of these Berners please let me know. I've lost touch with Ziege's breeder. Thanks all > ATTACHMENT part 2.3 message/rfc822 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2002 03:12:22 EST Subject: Success on the Lobby Efforts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just want everyone to know that all the hard work and fundraising for the BMDCA lobby effort is really paying off - the latest news is that thanks to our lobbyist Dr. Melcher's efforts, Animal Care, the federal agency in charge of animal shipments, will now be inspecting shipments of puppies on FOREIGN AIRLINES!! In the past, Animal Care has only inspected US airlines - so any puppies shipped from overseas on a foreign airline would escape any regulation. Because of Dr. Melcher's efforts on our behalf, Animal Care is now sending out notice to the foreign carriers that they will be subject to inspection and will be expected to comply with US Federal Regulations on shipping animals - and that means no puppies shipped under 8 weeks of age! This is a HUGE step for the federal agency and a big recognition of the Berner lobby efforts. Earlier this year Animal Care increased their efforts in inspecting airline shipments of puppies thanks again to Dr. Melcher's efforts. I wish I could be more eloquent in describing what a big victory this is - but think of all the puppies at auctions that were underage, and there was nothing being done! NOW something is being done - and anything to make it harder for the puppy mills to keep abusing animals is a BIG VICTORY in my book! Thanks for all your efforts, and please share the good news. If you are thinking of donating to the Current BARC- LOC raffle being conducted by Joye Neff, remember that your donations to LOC will help fund our lobby efforts. We are making a difference!

My dad loves to x-country ski, and now that Jackson and Sallie have their harnesses, he's looking at them in a whole new way!!! (He's always loved them, but now they can have play dates!) So if you could cros post to me, I'd appreciate it! kendra, Jackson and Sallie > ATTACHMENT part 2.5 message/rfc822 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 22 Dec 2002 06:10:01 EST Subject: a good dream To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last night I had the greatest dream. Part of it at least. I was at my folks house for Christmas, and everything was kind of awful, but I looked out the door to see how my pups were doing, and there were three of them!! There was Jackson and Sallie, who are 2 and 1 year old respectively, and there was this little ball of fur rolling all over them. And they loved him. Oh, it was so cute. I don't know if in the dream I had gotten him for Christmas, or if I had had him for a while- but wouldn't that be the best Christmas ever? Wish I could go back to sleep!

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] What terrific news, Ruth, that our lobby efforts are paying off. It shows how important it is to have Dr. Melcher working for the BMDCA. Stopping the shipment of underage puppies is a HUGE step and we need to help raise money to continue his work against the abuse of dogs. Grerat job!!! Without the information that BARC has already gathered by their efforts against the puppy mills, Dr. Melcher would not be able to make such great headway. Partnering together, these two organizations can work wonders, but they both need money to do that! As Ruth Nielsen mentioned, our efforts through the BARC LOC Fundraiser will help to make a big difference. With Christmas so close I'm not expecting a lot of checks over the next week, but during the holidays, please keep in mind that if you have any spare money, you can put it to good use by sending it to me for the fundraiser. Here are the totals that I've received so far: BARC = $ 655.00 LOC = $ 664.00 We have raised $ 1,319 for BARC and LOC so far with our Challenge Fundraiser and it's amazing that their numbers are only $9 apart!! BIG THANKS to all of the people who donated items (98 of them) for the BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser ~ BIG THANKS to those people who have already sent in money for the BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser ~ BIG THANKS to those of you who send in money for the BARC LOC Challenge Fundraiser ~ BIG THANKS to Karen Pickel for making our great website: http://www.overthefence.com/raffle/BARC/ Together we can make a difference in the lives of all puppies. Christmas is a time for love and familiy - Berners are members of our families - show your love to all Berners by supporting BARC and LOC!! Merry Christmas everyone!!

I can't think of a better way to honor their memory and can only hope our continued lobbying effort helps future BMD's. What great news Ruth N. shared with us, it is only a start of course but what a start! I just hope others will step up to the challenge giving money for dogs of past - present - future whomever they want honor.
