Hi Guys,
We use logs and waste wood to fuel our woodburner, and most of our dogs rush
to select the choicest logs or branch cuts for their own use. I
laboriously bring the wood in and stack it next to the fire - they root
around, dismantle the pile and take some of it out again!

Dear Deb
Just to pick up on something you say about not giving toxic chemicals. This
is the route I go as well but last weekend one of my girls, Emily, was
obviously not well and when I checked her I found a large wound in her
side. I suspected a bont tick (don't know whether you would recognise
Hi Marion:
I'm from Canada :-)...not the US. I'm really lucky that we don't have a

the cold, cold winters - helps keep those things under control. So,
because I don't have a very big problem where I live, I don't have to

Fran,
I'm hoping that Donna Coffin will share her experiences at the Potomac
Valley regional specialty last weekend. She competed in obedience with
her Sherman - who always does it just his own special way. I'm always
excited when I get the opportunity to watch the two of them, I know that

I have also seen Sherman in action , and am usually rolling on the floor
:-).
Even though I TRY not too ! Sherman is hysterical , much to the chagrin of
his
mother , LOL ! I'm wondering if maybe those of us that have had the
pleasure
of watching his antics shouldn't start contributing to an entry

thrilled to be owned by a Berner and have enjoyed all my

get a definitive diagnosis. Malignant Histiocytosis. I hope I will have

Why do dogs eat grass? I have heard several reasons, but wanted to ask.

Hi friends,
It is Annelise again with Kyla, 5 months, and I'm ready to switch Kyla to a
more natural kind of kibbles (not ready yet for the raw diet, even though
Kyla gets her daily bone) and was wondering if you could share your
secrets. The breeder gave her sensible choice and it is what we
Thought this was interesting.

Worried about Berners and children?
I have just uploaded some new pics for Oscar, sadly on the Histio Roll Call

I have used Timberwolf until it got too expensive. I've used Innova and am
using Canidae and Wellness Fish and Sweet Potato. I try to alternate foods

My husband and I are having trouble walking our 8
month old male Berner. When we walk him he is s
scared of people, cars, other dogs, etc.! We got him
when he was 7 weeks old and right off the bat he was a
little skittish. Even when we walked him as a small
puppy he was always scared of cars.
Donna,
don't hold us in suspense!

I would appreciate someone contacting me who might be able to help a person
interested in constructing a cart for his grandchildren's Berner to pull.
If you have cart plans and an inclination to share info with a nice fellow,
please contact me and I'll connect the two of you.
Thanks!
