TOday is or first berner, Geordi's 8th birthday. THis is a milestone because of his sever orthopedic problems the vets at Michigan State predicted that he would most likely be so arthridic by the time he's 2, he would most likely have to be put to sleep. In his case, I'm so glad they were wrong! He does now have quite a bit trouble getting up, but manages. He's been on supplements for years which helped a ton. Geordi is what got so so involved with this breed. All of his problems and needs forced us to learn more, and now we share that information by being active in the Heart of Michigan club and heading up the rescue/re homing responsibilities for the club. Geordi's issues have allowed us to help educate others and help dogs in need. So if something good can came from a poor situation, I guess that's it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Big Guy!! Enjoy your new toys, Ice Cream cake and steak dinner! You deserve it!
