If you are within reasonable driving distance of Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Virginia, Care A Lot Pet Supply Warehouse (some of you are familiar with their mail order services) has a retail outlet right on the border of Norfolk/Virginia Beach. Each weekend day, a different breed is featured. August 3, 2003 is Bernese Mountain Dog Day. Show up with your Bener and get 5% off your entire purchase. I was wondering if anyone wanted to get together at a specific time and show Care A Lot what a "bunch of Berners" looks like. Maybe afterwards, if anyone is interested, we could have a little Berner picnic at a nearby park. Please reply to me if you are interested and I'll keep you posted on the developments.
I have no affiliation with Care A Lot other than I love the place, they have the cheapest prices in town on all things pet (dog, cat, reptile) and have a large, pet-friendly warehouse where leashed pets are welcome, all the time. They have a website, www.carealotpets.com, if you are interested in pre-shopping... It would be really great to meet some of you since I'm new to Berners but have already decided I definitely need another one!!!
