I'd like to know the favorite vacuum cleaners of my fellow Berner buddies. I'm looking for something that isn't a strain to use. We use a manual push sweeper that's effective but an increasing physical strain. Thanks! Mark -- __ Sign-up

Fortunately in our case, Ozzie's brains were already intact and included in the purchase price when we picked him up from our breeder. I guess we are very lucky. They occasionally malfunction but a treat or two sets them back in order. With our Canadian postal system, I wish you good luck!

Happy belated birthday to my Sterling, Ch. Duntiblae Foreign Exchange, CD, CGC, TDInc. . He's a little stiff in the rear after a nice long snooze, but get the leash out and he's all puppy again. Without a doubt, he's the most cuddly, loveably sweet Berner there is. Ster is an extraordinary

Hi Lory, IMO I would not take in the Pit Bull Girl at this time. Whenever I have a sick dog I do not add anything new to their lives that might cause them stress. When dogs are ill other dogs may attempt to dominate them or the sick dog will be forced into a pyschologically more vunerable role
