To Aunty Pat from Simbo
Dear Auntie Pat, I just want you to know that I don't hold any grudges with you 'cause my belated 4th Birthday Barbacue got cancelled again!! Not because of the weather this time but because Jean has been so busy on the 'puter with all these people who are moving over to this new home. Well, we three Berners were a bit worried at first until Jean explained that all the dogs were coming too! Wow! That is some mighty Big Crowd! Now it seems very confusing to me because it seems like some people are in two places at the same time at the moment!! And some people are still in the old place and at the same time almost here. And some people still don't seem to realise that they have to move by the end of the next two weeks or they might get left behind and then the old home will be gone and they'll have nowhere to go. And it's all a bit crowded at the moment with everyone trying to get inside at the same time but Jean says no-one has to worry. You have to be patient and you won't miss what's going on 'cause you can still see in the Windows! (What's that about a Cob Web, Sunny?) Jean says she will explain it all again but that Aunty Pat will know what I mean! Now I hope everything is settling down by October 2nd because that's my Sister Sunny's 9th Birthday! and we are gonna be very upset if our joint party gets cancelled!! So, my fellow Berners out there get leaning on your humans and tell them to get packing!! Oh, by the way, if you have already moved or are looking in the Windows waiting to come in properly that's me and Sunny and Barney's picture on the wall this week! (What Sunny? Oh, I got that wrong we're on the TV Screen! Heh! That makes up for missing the Barby!) Oh, and, Auntie Pat! You said last week that you were coming to Scotland this week, and it's this week now. When are you coming and are you going to be in three places at the same time?? Oh, and the new address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Berner-l/ Yours Bernerly, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang Hereford, UK http://bernese.biz

Fundraiser question
Many thanks to everyone's hard work and donations for the fundraiser, it is very much appreciated, a job well done! I'm looking forward to the next one! I love that Berner ornament Angels are just Berners with wings I want to purchase one if possible, does anyone know where to get one or how to contact Dot Duvel since she donated it? It is a must have for me. Any help in finding one would be appreciated. Kelly Sorochinski and Harley! Glen Gardner, NJ
Re: Ari....Inside the Front Door
Cathi- We worried with you during Ari's stay in the hospital. We hoped with you for Ari's recovery. We rejoiced with you at Ari's release from the hospital. We cry with you at Ari's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. What a gift she gave you by coming home to her favorite place. Peggy Ford-Smith with Maddy, Niska and Moon (and remembering Miller) Petaluma CA

Overwhelmed
I have used the word overwhelmed so many times this past week that it has almost lost it's meaning. But I am once again, overwhelmed. First, by all the wonderfully supportive prayers and support, then by the joy everyone shared with me, then by all the financial support by phone and mail, then by lovely notes of condolence, then by those who picture Ari as I do. I sat here yesterday at the computer. And as a kind of therapy, I just read all the incoming thoughts of Ari. It was so helpful to me, I want you all to know. I have sent an e-mail, upon the passing of a beloved berner, and often thought what are my words going to mean or what can a few words do? I assure you that those individual words, when joined with hundreds of others, create a tidal wave of love. And something else I've noted. The people who write I don't know what to say or words cannot express must have to look very deeply into their hearts to continue. Because what they say next is so often the most moving thing I've ever read. Bacchus is not a good candidate for amputation. He has a bad left elbow and had partially torn his right rear cruciate ligament a few years back. Not bad enough for surgery, but I can already see it is taking a strain on him. I talked about many, many options with the vet today, even limb sparing surgery. I know what I have to do. And I welcome all help as I support him with diet and love and pain med when we need it. I hope you all don't think I am giving up on Bacchus. It's just that we all know where this leads inevitably. Cathi with Bacchus

Re: [NaturalBerners] Overwhelmed
Cathi only you know what to do with Bacchus. I must admit, I'd be inclined to do as you are doing. But one never knows until the decision is ours. God bless you in this period of your life. We all are with you and feel your pain. Remember this too shall pass. You are going through [probably] one of the toughest times in your life and through this remember you will end up on the other side of this a better person and indeed something good will come of all of this trauma. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I know it's a tough thing to hang on to right now as you struggle through all that life is dishing out to you. But keep on to the hope that you will make it through this and you will be strong for Bacchus.

3rd Annual BRBMDC Picnic and Mountain Hike THIS Saturday 9-13
The Third Annual Blue Ridge BMD Club's Picnic and Mountain Hike will be THIS Saturday, September 13 (sorry for the late notice), from ~ 11am until ???. Come as early or stay as late as you like. Assuming we don't get rained on like in previous years, we should be there until at least 3pm. Forecast is for partly cloudy with only 10% chance of rain and a high of 75 - so should be wonderful weather for us. The picnic will be on the Parkway near Blowing Rock and Boone, NC - at the Price Park Picnic area at mile marker 296.4. It's a beautiful area. We plan to try to get the same spot we've used in the past, which has a large open field (anyone want to bring some carts?), several picnic tables, a stream with beach, and is the starting point for a nice hiking trail. The stream separates us from the rest of the picnic area - you'll have to cross a little wooden bridge to get to the area. Since it's first come, we may not be able to get that spot, but if not, there's several other areas that are nearly as nice. We'll be heading up early Saturday morning to stake our claim. Non- club-members are welcome, as are the dogs (even non- berners). Please bring your own lunch and drinks, and remember water for the dogs, though there are restrooms where water can be obtained. Per Parkway regulations, all dogs must be on a 6 foot leash or under physical restraint at all times (though that doesn't seem to be enforced on the trails), and pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets, so bring baggies. For further information, contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, if you are thinking about coming and email me ahead of time, I can give you a phone number where you can reach us at the picnic grounds, in case you are having difficulties finding us. We look forward to seeing everyone!! Melissa So, now for directions: If coming from the east, take I-40 to US-421 and go north. Stay on 421 (heading west) until you reach the Blue Ridge Parkway - a little over 70 miles from I-40. This entrance onto the Parkway may be closed by construction - if so, stay on 421 until it merges with 221, then follow that to the Parkway. In either case, take the Parkway south until you get to the picnic area - it'll be on the right hand side. If coming from the west, take I-40 east to US-70 east. Follow this to US-221 north. 221 first crosses the Parkway at Linville Falls. You can get on the Parkway north there, or continue on 221 to join the Parkway near Grandfather Mountain. Take the Parkway north to the picnic area, which will be on the left from this direction. If coming from the south, take US-321 north (can be reached from I-85 in Gastonia) through Hickory and up past Blowing Rock. Just north of Blowing Rock, 321 crosses the Parkway. Get on the Parkway and head south until you come to the picnic area on the right. If coming from the north, take I-77 to US-421, and follow the directions from the east.
Here we go again...
Well Eddie has healed up really nicely and his face looks so handsome with no draining holes. Then he somehow scratched the cornea in one eye and scratched the other eye but not the cornea we have a lot of sand on our property and I think that was the culprit. His eyes were really red. More antibiotics and drops later and he's seems to be on the mend. Hannah on the other hand is going back in Wednesday for more surgery... same spot on her left back foot between the toes, same Mast Cell cancer. We're not sure if it's a reoccurrence or some cells left over from July's surgery. We are doing this surgery and then see what happens. It's been a very difficult decision and right about now I feel like I'm hanging a death sentence over Hannah's head, but we have decided not to do any radiation. The protocol that has been described to us very thoroughly is not something we want to subject a very happy bouncy Hannah through. Or we could take off the two toes. However, she's getting stressed enough out over surgery and we just cannot put her through that. We're trying to keep positive that this time the surgery gets everything. Time will tell. After all this, and losing 5 Berners over the past 20 years, and having our hearts ripped out over what Cathi is going through, and other recent losses, I don't think my heart can take much more. I'm not sure I can ever have another Bernese. Sherry Rob Hartung [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchener Ontario Canada
