BlankDear Listers,
Well Stevie and I are making the final big move into the city this Friday
afternoon, (2 more sleeps!!). I would just like to ask if anyone has any
experience in regards to changing Stevie's drinking water. Of course, Stevie
and I have lived in the country the whole time he has given me the
priviledge of being his Mum, so I am a little concerned with making the
change. The city water would have chemicals in it that he is not used to,
would this cause him distress? Such as upsetting his stomach or his bowels?
Bottled water has been suggested, but since I am on sick leave (still!) and
have a very fixed income now, I just don't think that it would be
financially affordable, also I don't think that I am able to handle the big
bottles by myself any longer. It will be a big adjustment for both of us,
going from living in a huge 6 bedroom house with 2 and a half acres of yard,
to a 2 bedroom apartment, with very little yard and no freedom!! I see many
walks in our future. It has been very difficult indeed trying to locate an
apartment that actually accepts dogs, especially as big as my gentle giant,
does anyone out there have any experience in dealing with having a Berner in
an apartment? There are definite pros and cons I am sure, I am quite aware
of the "cons", but just need some reassurance about the "pros". Wish us
luck!! I think we will need it for the first little while.
Berner hugs
Karen and Stevie
NB, Canada
