Re: Silver's Swiss Honey Chocolat
I have been silent for 5 months... unable to resolve the plain text issue but now I have such good news to share I've decided to try again. I followed the patient instructions from Pat, Nancy and Maria ( thank you!) , and consulted with AOL tech support. The latter assured me that I have everything set up right...hmmm we'll see. Now to the news: Back in December '02 Tobie, at 18 months, was diagnosed with SARD (sudden acquired retinal detachment) , then it was changed to ideopathic retinal detachment, ideopathic meaning the cause is unknown. She went completely blnd in a very short time. When we realized her problem we took her to our vet who referred her to an opthalmic specialist. She was treated with prednisone and lasix ( then changed to methozolamide and lasix) and given a 50% chance of regaining her sight. We took her back to the opthalmic specialist in late January and his comment on examination was Hot damn, this is great From an older, experienced, close to retirement, vet it was exciting and encouraging to see that kind of enthusiasm! He told us to monitor her very carefully and bring her back in 6 monts for a recheck. Yesterday, was the day for the 6 month check-up and I was told that everything looked great, both retinas reattached perfectly and looking very normal. She was seen by two opthalmic vets and a resident , all of whom agreed that she was doing very well. By way of celebration, apart from all the hugs and kisses etc., I plan to e-mail the Dana Farber Cancer Institute to offer to enrol both my dogs in their DNA collection, from healthy Berners!I will of course include details of Tobie's miraculous recovery in the e-mail Hugs to all, Carol Westaway, Grove City , Ohio
Re : Berner-garde fund-raiser
Hi everyone, I finally did it! I made a decision about how to spread out my free tickets and I sent Joye my donation! It was a tough choice.. such a lot of great prizes! So now my reward... I can send in my brag with a clear conscience. My puppy, Flash, Adesa's Hot Lightning Bolt ( littermate to Hot Chili Pepper of CA National Specialty fame) earned 11 conformation points and 2 majors by the age of 11 months. Then, to top it off, at one year and one day he passed both the Canine Good Citizen test (CGC) and the Therapy Dogs International Certification ( TDI ). Now he can join his big sister on nursing home visits. To anyone thinking about doing therapy visits with your Berner, do it. It is a wonderful experience for both you and your dog. Our newest undertaking now is drafting. Although too young to compete, Flash is taking to carting very well, and we should be ready by the time he is two ( the minumum age for draft tests). Big sister, Tobie, isn't so sure about carting yet, but she is working at it and we are making progress. Since the cart my husband built for us isn't big enough for her to ride in she has decided that she will pull it, especially if there are treats involved. Obedience, therapy visits and drafting are all great ways to extend your Berner's world and get out there and enjoy new things with them. Carol Westaway Grove City , Ohio
