Berner Sighting

2003-08-16 Thread bernerlover
During the first 10 min of the AKC National Invitational Championship
[Animal Planet], there was a story on junior handlers. "Breenie" and her
berner were interviewed briefly. Beautiful girl, beautiful berner.

Congratulations!

And what is wrong with The Weather Channel??!!! It seems much more useful
than seeing things/places I cannot afford -- who can be jealous of a
hurricane or tornado ;)

My wife is addicted to HGTV ( Home And Garden TV - dedicated to the
purchase, remodeling and redecorating of our homes).  I suppose that I
should thank my lucky stars because it's better than her former addiction to
The Weather Channel.

Anyway, Deb had HDTV on this weekend and they were doing a segment on Fisher
(sp?) Island - a VERY exclusive island community just off the coast of
Miami.  I was watching the segment (wondering how all those people got all
that money) when what to my wondering eyes should appear but two gorgeous
Berners !!  A resident was being interviewed and several clips showed her
with her Berners: Talking to them, playing with them, taking them for a ride
in her golf cart - one sitting up front with her paws majestically draped
over the front of the cart !!  I was smiling for the rest of the day.

If you get HGTV, keep an eye out for the episode featuring Fisher (sp?)
Island.  Our Berners are well represented :)

berner sighting and Mary Townsend

2003-03-13 Thread bernese
Hi all

First the info on Mary. There WAS an obit in the Canton Repository on Wed
Mar 12 for a Mary K Townsend..I knew it wasn't "our" Mary when I read
that this Mary "operated Dunks Diner and Catering Service as well as Dunks
Furniture in Astabula"also that she was proceeded in death by her
husband Thomas. Walt is Mary's husband. Just so you know...the Canton
Repository is the "big" newspaper in the Canton/Massillon area here in Ohio.

On to the berner sighting. In Walgreens I bought the last 2 berner cards
they hada black and white of 2 darling berners, blank inside, put out by
Hallmark under their "impromptu" line. And, of course I HAD to tell the
check out lady "we have dogs like this" and show the her some pics of
Bacchus and Ari.

Berner sighting (movie)

2003-01-29 Thread BuWho
At work today, one of my co-workers called me over to her cubicle (she views the 
pay-per-view screeners before they go out) and she happened to be viewing a movie 
called "Equilibrium".  She told me to watch this scene (which was aweful) the movie is 
set in the future after world war 3 and people take medication to not feel anything.  
The soldiers come across some place that has a bunch of dogs (which aren't allowed in 
the present time and must be destroyed).  They start to destroy the dogs when one of 
the men (who hasn't been taking his medication of not having feelings picks up a 
bernese mountain dog puppy (8-9 weeks old perhaps).  The dog licks the man's face.  
The soldier orders it to be destroyed along with the other dogs (I know, a horrible 
scene) but, the man who hasn't taken his medication makes the excuse that the puppy 
must be tested for diseases (trying to save the puppy's life and not get caught for 
having feels because he hasn't taken his meds).  He takes the puppy away.   The 
director obviously wanted to use the cutest puppy he could find in order to draw 
sympathy from the character and the audience.  



Berner sighting in Runner's World mag

This morning I opened up my new issue (Feb 2003) of Runner's World and
immediately spotted Brutus the smiling Berner on page 11 of the Women's
Running section, along with his human Melanie Boock. If you're reading this
Melanie, thanks for sharing your running story with us!

Cocoa's favourite training treats are cubed cheese, cut-up turkey hot dogs
and cheerios.

Hi,
There is nothing my Ursula likes better than to go see the birdies at
PetsMart on the weekend. Not sure the birdies like her keen intensive
gaze:-)

Ursula and her best friend Titan had a nice game of "fly birdie fly" in the
back yard. A young crow had fallen from the sky and the two of them were
running in tandem with the headless, one-legged gutted corpse each holding
a wing tip. A few weeks later the government in its wisdom warned about
West Nile Virus asking the public to hand in dead birds, and I was left
wondering if our birdie was a found treasure, which was more likely, than
them snatching it in low flight which they try with the barn swallows!

I doubt Berners are good bird dogs because they snack on them first.

If I may chime in...we saw a Berner on the Iron Chef!  For those of you who
watch the show, the theme ingredient was quail and there was an intro piece
where the Berner was out hunting quail with a pack of labs.  I'm pretty new
to the breed and I didn't think that Berners were good bird dogs, but it was
hard to mistake that happy face!  I guess that a Berner is good at whatever
they put their nose to!

Hi All,
I hardly ever watch TV, but tonight I had the TV on while I was doing my workout
in the basement. A Progresso ad came on---hot (better than Campbell's, it said)
clam chowder for a very snowy day. After the chowder, the front door opens to
the outside and out trots a huge, gorgeous big Berner in the falling snow! 
Look for it! Sara Steele

Just now got done watching the Incredible Dog Challenge "Purina Dog Chow
Winter Games" on WTBS. They a great show of outdoor dogs games.There was a
quick shot of a berner getting in a helicopter on the way up the mountain
for the rescue [find the person buried in the snow part] but sadly didn't
show him doing a search. I say "he" cause it sure looked like a boy.but
please ..someone 'fess up. Who was in Vail, Colorado today, competing?

I don't know how many states have a Giant Eagle grocery store, but last
night during CSI, there was a commercial for Giant Eagle featuring [for just

NO Berner sighting

2002-10-18 Thread swissmiss
We just returned from a 10 day visit to my homeland, Switzerland.  Just like
our visit this past March we traveled from one end to the other, spent time
in the Bernese Oberland, walked thru farm lands past farm houses with dogs,
but NOT A SINGLE BERNER anywhere, both in March and now.We looked high
and low as we needed a Berner fix.What's wrong with this picture??

I know we should have gone to Lenzburg on September 29 for the Berner show.
Unfortunately, due to our daughters schedule,  we could not leave before the
beginning of October.  I was hoping to go there as we would have had the
opportunity to meet our Digby's breeder and no doubt would have met some
nice Berner people and some great Berners.

We are happy to be home again with our two boys.   Our Donzi has now been
with us exactly one year and we are thankful for having been chosen to adopt
him.   He is a big,  lovable, silly goof,  typical 2 year old, full of
himself.

Hi all,
I was in Wal-Mart checking out their Christmas stuffed animals to see if 
a Berner would be included this year (none seen so far) and as I was leaving 
the store I passed a (Fuji?) film display/dispenser (very small on the end of 
one row).  The front of the dispenser box had a photo of a small child 
leaning in to kiss a Berner pup on the nose.  Very cute.  Anyone we know?
