Jackson: ripped up sofa cushion, ate the moulding and doors inside the house, ruined my favorite shoes- Is now the world's most perfect dog! Sallie: currently eating the outside of the house- one shingle at a time (I guess they think the outside should match the inside!), ruined daddie's slippers,steals food out of your hands, takes everything that's inside outside Kendra, Jackson, and Sallie

Have fun! 1 --- Do you live in c) country d) on Planet Berner Hmmm... Family and boyfriend would say D, but we live in a house on the outskirts of a small village (not quite country enough, but getting there). 2 --- Where does your dog spend the night? Cessi - beside the bed on the floor (comes up for cuddles first, then gets off and spends the night there) Tucker - usually on the floor in the bathroom, sometimes at the front door 3 --- What is your dog's favorite toy? Cessi - bones and stuffed babies Tucker - bones and the cats - the ultimate squeaky toys! 4 --- Your dog's most remarkable feature is (fill in the blank) (do I have to pick just one???) Cessi - her intuitiveness blows me away; also the power behind her paws, tail and nose nudges, the way she throws herself down for belly rubs, and the way she crosses her pretty white paws like the little lady she is Tucker - vocal ability(!); also this big rough dog gives the most incredibly gentle nose nibbles and ear nibbles; silky super soft ears, and the ability to sleep wrapped at a 90 degree angle around a corner 5 --- You bought a new car for your dog(s) Didn't have to - had the SUV (now on #3). Chose my house based on how it would suit living with berners (before I even had one)- does that count? 6 --- Your dog participates in (feel free to list any titles your dog has won) a) conformation - Cessi Ch, Tucker - we'll see b) obedience trials - coming soon for Cessi c) drafting trials - working on it g) training classes - oh yes h) digging to China - no, thank goodness 7 --- The naughtiest thing that your dog has done is. Cessi is such a good girl... the thing that comes to mind most readily was when she ate a half pound of butter one afternoon while I was away, and then, well, it came out the other end, rather explosively. I've never seen poop halfway up the walls before or since. grin Tucker, hmmm, let's see - there was my favourite black sandals that he ate the cushioning out of, the time he ate 1/2 a wild bunny (this counts as one of Cessi's naughty things too as she killed the thing) and then regurgitated it on the carpet in the living room... None of these are really *naughty* things - just dogs being dogs. Oh, and there was the time Tucker walked up to Adam as he was getting dressed one morning and grabbed his, um, privates, between his teeth. Luckily he didn't bite down! Cessi also used to square her dad regularly with her front paw by sitting up like a bear and throwing one into his groin. Jen Cessi and Tucker

Re: Fun Survey
1 --- Do you live in In the suburbs of a city on Planet Berner, with the country and forest right outside our doorstep. 2 --- Where does your dog spend the night? Under my bed, which is enclosed by walls on 2 sides. It was his idea, not mine. When Griffin was around 7 months, he started having trouble getting in and out from under there so I tried to convince him that sleeping beside the bed would be so much better. He was miserable. He wanted his spot. The only solution was to ask a carpenter to fashion new, oak legs for the bed that could accommodate a 55 kg 4-legged furry limbo dancer. 3 --- What is your dog's favourite toy? A stuffed squeaky mallard duck, though the giant stuffed slipper in the form of a tiger's paw is still a favourite. 4 --- Your dog's most remarkable feature is (fill in the blank) His smile. 5 --- You bought a new car for your dog(so) No 6 --- Your dog participates in (feel free to list any titles your dog has won) i) Griffin is a champion pedagogue. He gives his Mom daily lessons on the real meaning of life. 7 --- The naughtiest thing that your dog has done is. Back in the times of B.B. (Before Berners) I enjoyed knitting in my spare time. One particularly challenging project was a beautiful pair of traditional Scandinavian mittens, knitted on 4 needles in several colours of hand spun wool with a black background. Because of the intricate pattern, I decided to take a pause when the first mitten was completed. I remember my feeling of pride and triumph when, 4 years later, I had finally finished the second mitten. Shortly after that, Griffin walked into my life and ate the thumb off the second mitten. Since I no longer have any spare time, there will be no third mitten. Cecilia Ståhl Griffin in Stockholm, Sweden

When Cindy arrived, the puppy became her most favorite toy. Cindy has enjoyed all of Hazel's toys but her favorite is one I bought just for her and its a wool sheep with a squeaker in it, her sleepy sheep. 4 --- Your dog's most remarkable feature is Clover - her patience with me over the years Hazel - the way she wakes me up in the morning by jumping into the bed and putting her face on mine Cindy - her smiling eyes and friendliness 5 --- You bought a new car for your dog(s) Yes - I had Clover with me in a Honda Civic when I was in an auto accident. She was unhurt but I ended up having three surgeries. I traded it for a Honda Odessey and have never regretted it. 6 --- Your dog participates in (feel free to list any titles your dog has won) a) conformation - Clover is a Champion. e) therapy work - Clover went to my father's nursing home and she has been trained to be my service dog. g) training classes - Hazel has been to obedience and we are working toward her CGC. h) digging to China - Hazel had slanted eyes in another life she is passing on her skills to Cindy. 7 --- The naughtiest thing that your dog has done is.

Re: Fun Survey
1 --- Do you live in a) city b) suburbs c) country d) on Planet Berner ***(B) but soon approaching (D) as we look for a new place to house my growing addiction to berners 2 --- Where does your dog spend the night? ***This is a bit like where does an elephant sit? Anywhere he wants--right? Well Smokey sleeps on the floor, on a couch, sometimes nestled between us on the queen sized bed (we need to get a king--that will be part of the move!) 3 --- What is your dog's favorite toy? Smokey loves, I mean loves, this stuffed squeaky lamb thing. He doesn't chew it (which he does with all other toys) just hugs it and holds it. If he doesn't have it when he sleeps he is restless and won't settle down until he gets it! There is also an old, chewed up football (american) which we used to play with Smokey and now has a large hole where the front should be when Smokey tried to strip my boyfriends of the ball one afternoon. Smokey still chases it, and will only play with it if he sees it outside. 4 --- Your dog's most remarkable feature is his ability to give backtalk. Yes, I am sure there are others here who have a rambunction pup who while he will obey commands has a mouthful when doing it. Also when not getting food, treats, or when not being attended to. Smokey has a large range of sounds and I SWEAR he thinks he is speaking the same language as me. Sometimes he even waits for me to respond and then interrupts with more!!! 5 --- You bought a new car for your dog(s) In process... 6 --- Your dog participates in (feel free to list any titles your dog has won) (g) training classes actually we are just starting obedience training in may. That should be fun (any advise or suggestions from folks is welcome) ***(i) My own category--table surfing. Now I don't know what your dogs are like but when I say this I mean my boy will get up on tables counters, etc. to eat things and when I say get up, I mean all 4 feet, and 117lbs of berner boy on top of whatever he is after. I believe that he learned this from the cat, but with his long legs he sure can jump high! 7 --- The naughtiest thing that your dog has done is. eaten my cellphone, and coffee table, and rug, and... he went on a rampage but has been could recently (I knock on wood to get some spliters from the chewed up edges). Still, he's a good boy (he smiles at me wondering what dog I am writing about!) Radha and Smokey Princeton, NJ __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Tasha starts out on my son's bed, then moves to the rug in his room, then migrates to the landing between the first and second floors. Morgan lays in the hallway between our bedrooms, then migrates downstairs. 3 --- What is your dog's favorite toy? Tasha loves her hedgehog. Morgan destroyed all of Tasha's toys within two weeks of joining our household. He loves any squeaky toy that he can perform surgery on - a sqeakectomy. I then sew the toy up again for him to repeat the procedure. 4 --- Your dog's most remarkable feature is (fill in the blank) Tasha her beautiful head and her incredible drive to do anything for food. Morgan his beautiful dark eyes and his need to be always vigilant about what is happening in 'his' neighborhood. 5 --- You bought a new car for your dog(s) Yes, actually a leased Blazer for Tasha. When Morgan came along, we got a Honda Odyssey for both of them. 6 --- Your dog participates in (feel free to list any titles your dog has won) e) therapy work - Tasha g) training classes - Tasha and Morgan Morgan hopefully will start agility soon. 7 --- The naughtiest thing that your dog has done is. When Tasha was a puppy she stole some birthday cake off the table from underneath a cake dome!! Morgan just has major attitude, but has never done anything really awful. The worst thing he did was mistake one of my collectible bears for a dog toy, but I was in the room to correct him at the time! Debby Lyon Allendale, NJ
