Well Stevie has now officially turned the big ONE!! Stevie was born on January 1, 2002. He was a bit under the weather yesterday (had several bouts of diarrhea and just not all entirely well) I had given him a new bone on New Years Eve and that may have done it, perhaps not enough fat trimmed off!! He was much more himself and ate normally last evening. It is hard to believe that I have only had him for 10 months it seems like he has always been part of my life. He is my first Berner and the absolute love of my life!! Things in my life have taken many twists and turns this year, along with the dissolving of a 23 year marriage and who has stuck by me through thick and thin, with unconditional Love? My Stevie, of course! One thing I have learned from becoming a member of this list, is to hug those Berners tight and love them all you can (like there was ever a question) as one never knows what is around the corner. Hoping that everyone and every Berner has a safe and fulfilling New Year!! Best Wishes!! Big Berner hugs from Karen and Stevie NB,Canada --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
