Longlease Updates at last!!!
Hi Folks, At last have done some Longlease Updates in the middle of all this move to the new Berner-l home http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Berner-l/ Phew! Only five pages tonight but I feel I am finally catching up and getting life back to normal again. Two new Puppy Fix pics on the Friends Gallery! Tika, who went by ferry from England to Ireland and the pics are taken four hours after she arrived in her new home and made friends with Holly, settling in nicely, more to come. And Cabot, beautiful photo of him that was the inspiration for one of Michael Johnson's Berner Pup paintings. (Have had Michael's very latest painting in, that for tomorrow's updates!) Sadly, three Tribute Pages! Mikki, Chris and Herb Baker's beloved veteran girl; Oberon, still sadly missed by Ann Lee: and Willy, lost to Histio, and loved so much by Dana Neuman and Family! More pics to come tomorrow! All Love, Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang http://bernese.biz

Sylvia Katvala -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2003 09:02:04 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Berner-l] Bacchus and Ari photo I was able to send a pic of Bacchus and Ari to the group photo page. Bacchus is doing well with something a little stronger for pain. Still eating like crazy. But his breathing is shallower and he is panting more. I think the reality of losing Ari really hit me over the weekend. I must have been running on adrenaline last week, and I was still in shock and numb. But, even though I knew how close Ari and I were, it hit me like a ton of bricks. She was literally rarely further away from me than arms length. Like she was always at my fingertips. My shadow. Ari's bill is almost completely paid. I'm sending out thank-you cards to those of you who mailed help for her. It'll keep me busy. But those of you who called in for Ari, I have to thank you publicly. They were worried at the vets that maybe they shouldn't give me the names for security purposes. And some people asked to remain anonymous. So to each and every one of you, thank you so much. And to those who have sent prayers, inspirational thoughts, advice, support and love.thank you, too.

Bacchus
Okay, now I am freaking out again. I have heard Bacchus yelp several times over the past few days. But, just now, he growled at me. Not a viscious, snarling growl. The quiet, polite rumbling that I've heard when Ari got into his personal space during a nap. He was immediately apologetic. But still. I know my boy. This is not like him. He has never, ever grumbled at me. Ever. I know what it's like to be in pain, and I've snapped and growled myself at a lot of people. I just laid on the rug beside him and cried. I can't believe this. Not so quick, not so soon.please. Cathi

Dear Berner -l. After trying to switch to the Yahoo site, I gave up. They insist on credit card numbers, etc., etc., etc. Way too much private information, more than I give out , to just any one.

BARC Rescue Information
Forwarded for Amy Kessler: A few weeks ago, I, on behalf of BARC, asked you to help us rescue a puppy in need (her name is Xena). Unfortunately, illness, a trip to the hospital and the sobig computer virus put me and my computer out-of-commission for a time. I am just now able to get back to you. When BARC (through my e-mail message to you) asked for help I told you that we would provide more detail when the pup was safe. She is now safe with BARC in Kansas and we are in the process of preparing her to go to her forever home. This rescue situation came about when a breeder in Germany sold a puppy as a pet. The puppy's buyer (who also lives in Germany) represented himself to the breeder as a person looking for a family pet. In fact, he is a dog broker, who, with a family member in the U.S. (also a dog broker), sells/brokers dogs here in the States. A BMDCA member discovered the puppy's situation through contacts she had made while monitoring imported dogs that were being offered for sale. She made contact with an individual in the Swiss club and together with a couple of other people, they asked BARC for assistance in rescuing the puppy and finding her a loving home. Thanks to your responsiveness and generous donations, BARC was able to purchase this puppy and also pay for her vet and other expenses (e.g., air transportation). We are happy to report that Xena will be going to a new home as soon as she recovers from her spay. The generosity of the people involved with this breed is overwhelming and BARC is honored to have you as supporters. There are no words in the English language that fully express our gratitude to all of you who offered and continue to offer help when we need it. In case there is any confusion, BARC's process for placing this puppy is the same procedure applied to all BARC puppy placements. Her health and temperament are evaluated. We use this information to ensure the best possible match between her needs and what a prospective adoptive home can offer. As with all BARC puppies, a sterilization surgery is scheduled and performed (in Xena's case, a spay surgery). Current BARC puppy adoption applications are being reviewed and, using the same standards applied to other BARC puppy placements, she will be placed soon in a forever home. The only difference between this puppy and our normal auction/kennel liquidation rescues is that BARC was asked by an individual in a foreign parent club to help and we did. Because this puppy was born within a governing parent club, she was evaluated by their litter inspectors, as are all puppies registered within their club. This particular puppy and her littermates received a high rating in litter quality and because of that, a comment was made (NOT by people within BARC), that it is a shame that she would be spayed and would BARC consider leaving her intact and placing her in a home with a well-respected breeder. Because of the novelty of this situation and out of respect for the source of one such comment, BARC's board discussed this particular puppy's situation at an annual face-to-face board meeting in Des Moines, Iowa on September 6th. The BARC board was unanimous in it's view that this puppy should NOT be treated differently than any other BARC rescue. True, she was not from a scumbag puppy miller or an auction, but she IS BARC's forever responsibility and, as a BARC rescue, she would be spayed and placed in a home as a companion animal. I hope this somewhat belated e-mail provides our supporters with an update on little Xena's status and clears up any misinformation that some of you may have received. In the future, if anyone ever has a question about BARC or concern about the processes used by BARC in placing our rescues, please feel free to contact BARC directly. BARC's telephone number is 913-837-3129 or my home number is 913-837-4635. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Again, a huge thank you to those of you who helped make it possible for us to create a happy life for little Xena (as contrasted to one ended too soon from spending it in a dirty cage as an uncaring miller's brood bitch). We know that none of what BARC does could be done with out your big-hearted and generous support.

Ear Problem
Rose, Thanks for making a good point. One thing I would like to add is that nothing should be put into a dog's ear without the vet first examining the eardrum. What looks like a nasty yeasty ear can be a whole host of bad things cooking one of which is pseudynomous which destroys the eardrum. Veterinarian evaluation of the dogs ears is a must before using Blue Power for the reasons stated in your post. That is noted as a caution on the web site. http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/BLUE.HTM In my case, my dog had been under vet care for an extended period of time. We tried Alocetic Ear Cleaner, which is alcohol free, Foaming Sensitive Ear Cleaner and Otimax all to no avail. Only the Blue Power seemed to help and did not seem to bother the dog as much as the vet prescribed ear cleaners. But! your point should be well taken. The ear problem needs to be diagnosed by a vet. Thanks, Steve

RE: Ear Problem
Hi Steven, One thing I would like to add is that nothing should be put into a dog's ear without the vet first examining the eardrum. What looks like a nasty yeasty ear can be a whole host of bad things cooking one of which is pseudynomous which destroys the eardrum. Some medications are not appropriate for dogs with ear drum damage and I certainly wouldn't be wanting to put alcohol in in such a case. Persistant ears problems should be cultured. Many home remedies are fine for cleaning the external ear but caution should be used when liquids dribble into the ear. Rose
RE: Megaesophagus
snip Diva was diagnosed with MEGAESOPHAGUS. Her only symptoms are occ. wheezing gulping of her food. snip Does anyone know about this condition do you have any helpful advice? Hi, Terri! Sorry for the delay in replying ... I've been off-line for awhile. My Jake was diagnosed with megaesophagus when he was 6 months old. As your head is spinning now from information overload, so was mine. The two drugs of choice to help manage megaesophagus are cisapride and metaclopramide. Both drugs stimulate the muscles along the esophagus and should be given 20 or 30 minutes before the dog eats. The dog should sit after eating for 10 minutes or so, and no exercise - not even a walk - for an hour after eating. There are literally thousands of pages on the internet that discuss megaesophagus. Most pages say that an afflicted dog will most likely not survive past the age of two. Megaesophagus itself is not fatal but, if the dog inhales while it's regurgitating, it could get pneumonia which must be treated immediately. Let me stress: do not believe all the horror stories on the internet. It is often a case of hearing the worst case scenarios. My Jake was diagnosed with megaesophagus at 6 months; he is now 2 1/2 years old and going strong. In fact, Jake was doing so well that, six weeks ago, I stopped giving him the metaclopramide pills. I did, however, keep some on hand in case Jake started regurgitating. In the past six weeks, Jake has had 4 pills total (2 pills on two occasions), instead of 4 pills a day every day. Megaesophagus is definitely manageable. I hope this helps. Feel free to e-mail me privately if you have any more questions. Maureen Barry Montreal, Quebec __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Berner in new movie
Hi everyone,This has probably already been postedthere is a Berner starring in the new movie Good Boy. Here is the linkwww.goodboy.comGina and Noah (the big bunny) in Arizona Send and receive larger attachments with Hotmail Extra Storage.
Ari and Bacchus, thoughts and pictures
I miss her. And so does Bacchus. I worried about him Tues and yesterday, he seemed so depressed. I've been trying to be happy and cheerful for him.but berners can see right through that. So to compensate, I've been stuffing his face with everything he'll eat. Bacchus has always been around 115lbs as an adult [give or take a couple of pounds]. I had cut back on treats a bit, hoping to get maybe 5 lbs off him to help his joints. I was shocked when he was weighed at the emergency vets, 2 days before Ari. He was only 104lbs. And then Tuesday he was only 97. But today he seems more animated. I have been looking through pictures, literally hundreds, to find one of Ari to send to Jean. Out of hundreds of photos, there are only a handful of Ari alone. It is always the two of them, Bacchus and Ari, joined at the hip. I went to a grief counselor yesterday.She specializes in Pet Bereavement. I found her on www.pet-loss.net . I clicked on Ohio and was surprised to see someone here locally. She was very helpful. Knows about bloat and cancers. Has Akitas and GSD's. I'm going back next week. Yesterday I got Ari's Angel pin from Karen. So beautiful, so touching, so meaningful.yet something we dread receiving. I wear it over my heart. Cathi with Bacchus

Now it seems very confusing to me because it seems like some people are in two places at the same time at the moment!! And some people are still in the old place and at the same time almost here. And some people still don't seem to realise that they have to move by the end of the next two weeks or they might get left behind and then the old home will be gone and they'll have nowhere to go.

Ear Problem
Dear NurseDR, Consider trying Blue Power Ear Treatment. Buy the ingredients, mix them and follow the directions outlined on Helen L. Mckinnon's web site; http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/ The solution is a mixture of Isopropyl alcohol (16oz.) , boric acid (4 tbls), and gention violet solution 1% (16 drops). All ingredients are available at your local pharmacy. The large chains CVS, Genovese, etc. do not carry Gention Violet. The small local pharmacy stores usually have it in stock. The ingredients cost about $6.00. One of my dogs suffered for well over a year while I tried everything the vet suggested. My vet bills exceeded $1000. treating ear infections using vet prescribed meds. I showed my vet the formula for Blue Power and he advised against using the solution. He's a great vet, just tends to be conservative. Against his recommendation, I used the Blue Power and within three days saw great improvement. By the end of the first week, all indications of inflammation were gone! I'm now using the formula once a week and seeing nothing on the cotton ball after routine cleaning. Prior to using the formula I was pulling out at least three cotton balls of wax, dirt etc. Finally after approximately 15 months of suffering, my dogs ears are in great shape. Please refer to the site above, follow the directions and consider trying the mixture. Steve Squillante Casey the young Berner, (Having an ominous lump removed tomorrow) Hunter, my problem ear Golden

a little humor to share
Dear Dogs, When I say to move, it means go someplace else, not switch positions with each other so there are still two dogs in the way. The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by Nascar and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help, because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king size bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue to sleep on the couch to ensure your comfort. Look at videos of dogs sleeping, they can actually curl up in a ball. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space used is nothing but doggy sarcasm. My compact discs are not miniature Frisbees. For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. In addition, I have been using bathrooms for years, canine attendance is not mandatory. The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dogs butt. I cannot stress this enough. It would be such a simple change for you. Rules for non-pet owners who visit and like to complain about our pets. 1.. The dog lives here. You don't. 2.. If you don't want dog hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. 3.. I like my dog a lot better than I like most people. 4.. To you, he is a dog. To me, he's an adopted son who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. 5.. Dogs are better than kids. They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about buying the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, don't need a gazillion dollars for college and you have them spayed and nuetered so no worries about unwanted pregnancies. The same applies to cats, except they ignore you until you are asleep. Tom, Joni, (BMD)Ceilidh (BMD)Wilson O'Drobinak Indianapolis, Indiana [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Berner-L at Prairienet Defunct by the end of September!
We need to migrate everyone over to the new Berner-L. For those of you who are not familiar with yahoogroups, I don't think it will be difficult for you, honest! You'll need to sign up for an account, go to: http://www.yahoogroups.com Once you are signed up, you can search for the group Berner-L and go ahead and join. Or you can join by sending an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a small problem, isn't there always! When there are more than 200 members of a group on yahoo, they don't handle the membership list the same way. Instead of a real time update, they update the members periodically. What this means is that you will be a member, you will be able to post, you will be able to read the posts on the group page, but you will not receive emails for several days. There seems to be about a 4 day delay. So have patience, and do join us! I will be on vacation until September 25th, and it will be a few days for me to get through all the email.

Aspirin dose - One too many?
I guess I am so used to taking two aspirins for myself that I just impulsively gave Nicco two and meant to give only one. Are we okay??? I gave him two buffered aspirins (325 mg each). Nicco is 14 months and 100 lbs. Yikes! Cindy Reid

Slight change of plan
Disregard my earlier message about deleting yourself. I didn't realized the instructions were gone(: I just delete people after they sign up to the Yahoo group. To make this dog related. Neala got a bath today and is so nice and fluffy and beautiful, more than ever:) She also went with me to our monthly Acupressure get together.

To Aunty Pat from Simbo
Dear Auntie Pat, I just want you to know that I don't hold any grudges with you 'cause my belated 4th Birthday Barbacue got cancelled again!! Not because of the weather this time but because Jean has been so busy on the 'puter with all these people who are moving over to this new home. Well, we three Berners were a bit worried at first until Jean explained that all the dogs were coming too! Wow! That is some mighty Big Crowd! Now it seems very confusing to me because it seems like some people are in two places at the same time at the moment!! And some people are still in the old place and at the same time almost here. And some people still don't seem to realise that they have to move by the end of the next two weeks or they might get left behind and then the old home will be gone and they'll have nowhere to go. And it's all a bit crowded at the moment with everyone trying to get inside at the same time but Jean says no-one has to worry. You have to be patient and you won't miss what's going on 'cause you can still see in the Windows! (What's that about a Cob Web, Sunny?) Jean says she will explain it all again but that Aunty Pat will know what I mean! Now I hope everything is settling down by October 2nd because that's my Sister Sunny's 9th Birthday! and we are gonna be very upset if our joint party gets cancelled!! So, my fellow Berners out there get leaning on your humans and tell them to get packing!! Oh, by the way, if you have already moved or are looking in the Windows waiting to come in properly that's me and Sunny and Barney's picture on the wall this week! (What Sunny? Oh, I got that wrong we're on the TV Screen! Heh! That makes up for missing the Barby!) Oh, and, Auntie Pat! You said last week that you were coming to Scotland this week, and it's this week now. When are you coming and are you going to be in three places at the same time?? Oh, and the new address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Berner-l/ Yours Bernerly, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang Hereford, UK http://bernese.biz

I love that Berner ornament Angels are just Berners with wings I want to purchase one if possible, does anyone know where to get one or how to contact Dot Duvel since she donated it? It is a must have for me. Any help in finding one would be appreciated. Kelly Sorochinski and Harley! Glen Gardner, NJ
Re: Ari....Inside the Front Door
Cathi- We worried with you during Ari's stay in the hospital. We hoped with you for Ari's recovery. We rejoiced with you at Ari's release from the hospital. We cry with you at Ari's passing.

Overwhelmed
I have used the word overwhelmed so many times this past week that it has almost lost it's meaning. But I am once again, overwhelmed. First, by all the wonderfully supportive prayers and support, then by the joy everyone shared with me, then by all the financial support by phone and mail, then by lovely notes of condolence, then by those who picture Ari as I do. I sat here yesterday at the computer. And as a kind of therapy, I just read all the incoming thoughts of Ari. It was so helpful to me, I want you all to know. I have sent an e-mail, upon the passing of a beloved berner, and often thought what are my words going to mean or what can a few words do? I assure you that those individual words, when joined with hundreds of others, create a tidal wave of love. And something else I've noted. The people who write I don't know what to say or words cannot express must have to look very deeply into their hearts to continue. Because what they say next is so often the most moving thing I've ever read. Bacchus is not a good candidate for amputation. He has a bad left elbow and had partially torn his right rear cruciate ligament a few years back. Not bad enough for surgery, but I can already see it is taking a strain on him. I talked about many, many options with the vet today, even limb sparing surgery. I know what I have to do. And I welcome all help as I support him with diet and love and pain med when we need it. I hope you all don't think I am giving up on Bacchus. It's just that we all know where this leads inevitably. Cathi with Bacchus

Re: [NaturalBerners] Overwhelmed
Cathi only you know what to do with Bacchus. I must admit, I'd be inclined to do as you are doing. But one never knows until the decision is ours. God bless you in this period of your life. We all are with you and feel your pain. Remember this too shall pass. You are going through [probably] one of the toughest times in your life and through this remember you will end up on the other side of this a better person and indeed something good will come of all of this trauma. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I know it's a tough thing to hang on to right now as you struggle through all that life is dishing out to you. But keep on to the hope that you will make it through this and you will be strong for Bacchus.

3rd Annual BRBMDC Picnic and Mountain Hike THIS Saturday 9-13
The Third Annual Blue Ridge BMD Club's Picnic and Mountain Hike will be THIS Saturday, September 13 (sorry for the late notice), from ~ 11am until ???. Come as early or stay as late as you like. Assuming we don't get rained on like in previous years, we should be there until at least 3pm. Forecast is for partly cloudy with only 10% chance of rain and a high of 75 - so should be wonderful weather for us. The picnic will be on the Parkway near Blowing Rock and Boone, NC - at the Price Park Picnic area at mile marker 296.4. It's a beautiful area. We plan to try to get the same spot we've used in the past, which has a large open field (anyone want to bring some carts?), several picnic tables, a stream with beach, and is the starting point for a nice hiking trail. The stream separates us from the rest of the picnic area - you'll have to cross a little wooden bridge to get to the area. Since it's first come, we may not be able to get that spot, but if not, there's several other areas that are nearly as nice. We'll be heading up early Saturday morning to stake our claim. Non- club-members are welcome, as are the dogs (even non- berners). Please bring your own lunch and drinks, and remember water for the dogs, though there are restrooms where water can be obtained. Per Parkway regulations, all dogs must be on a 6 foot leash or under physical restraint at all times (though that doesn't seem to be enforced on the trails), and pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets, so bring baggies. For further information, contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, if you are thinking about coming and email me ahead of time, I can give you a phone number where you can reach us at the picnic grounds, in case you are having difficulties finding us. We look forward to seeing everyone!! Melissa So, now for directions: If coming from the east, take I-40 to US-421 and go north. Stay on 421 (heading west) until you reach the Blue Ridge Parkway - a little over 70 miles from I-40. This entrance onto the Parkway may be closed by construction - if so, stay on 421 until it merges with 221, then follow that to the Parkway. In either case, take the Parkway south until you get to the picnic area - it'll be on the right hand side. If coming from the west, take I-40 east to US-70 east. Follow this to US-221 north. 221 first crosses the Parkway at Linville Falls. You can get on the Parkway north there, or continue on 221 to join the Parkway near Grandfather Mountain. Take the Parkway north to the picnic area, which will be on the left from this direction. If coming from the south, take US-321 north (can be reached from I-85 in Gastonia) through Hickory and up past Blowing Rock. Just north of Blowing Rock, 321 crosses the Parkway. Get on the Parkway and head south until you come to the picnic area on the right. If coming from the north, take I-77 to US-421, and follow the directions from the east.
Here we go again...
Well Eddie has healed up really nicely and his face looks so handsome with no draining holes. Then he somehow scratched the cornea in one eye and scratched the other eye but not the cornea we have a lot of sand on our property and I think that was the culprit. His eyes were really red. More antibiotics and drops later and he's seems to be on the mend. Hannah on the other hand is going back in Wednesday for more surgery... same spot on her left back foot between the toes, same Mast Cell cancer. We're not sure if it's a reoccurrence or some cells left over from July's surgery. We are doing this surgery and then see what happens. It's been a very difficult decision and right about now I feel like I'm hanging a death sentence over Hannah's head, but we have decided not to do any radiation. The protocol that has been described to us very thoroughly is not something we want to subject a very happy bouncy Hannah through. Or we could take off the two toes. However, she's getting stressed enough out over surgery and we just cannot put her through that. We're trying to keep positive that this time the surgery gets everything. Time will tell. After all this, and losing 5 Berners over the past 20 years, and having our hearts ripped out over what Cathi is going through, and other recent losses, I don't think my heart can take much more. I'm not sure I can ever have another Bernese. Sherry Rob Hartung [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kitchener Ontario Canada

Ari is gone. She didn't want to get up in bed with me last night, so I left her in the crate with the door open. I got up at 2am and couldn't find her. She was curled up on the rug in front of the front door. I called to her and she didn't raise her head. And I touched her. And she was gone. Ken got her in the truck for me and I took her into the emergency vets. They said it was her heart. They are making arrangements for cremation for me and will return her to me afterwards. Everyone at the vets is devastated as I know you all we be. So am I. Cathi with Bacchus.now Ari has wings
Not getting berner-l Yahoo
Good Morning here from Hereford, UK! Wondering if the members missing haven't verified the email address they have Subscribed with? This was part of the big Change on Yahoo a couple of weeks ago when all members who had been subscribed to Yahoo when the old OneList/egroups/Yahoo Clubs merged were automatically transferred to Yahoo Groups. The Owners/Moderators of your other Groups would have been notified (I was) to warn their Members that they must make sure that all the email addresses on there Yahoo Account are verified. Without this you do not get full Group Features How do I verify my email address? In order to use an email address for Yahoo! Groups, the address must be verified. The easiest way to set up your account is to use the Membership Wizard. http://groups.yahoo.com/memwiz The wizard will show all of the email addresses you currently have available for use in Yahoo! Groups. Any unverified addresses will be listed at the bottom of the second page. Next to the address will be a Verify link.

Congratulations to all of the winners from last night's drawing of the Name the Costco Berner Contest and the Berner-Garde Fundraiser.I have a business conference in St. Louis this week and will not return until Sunday evening, so I know that with a short week at work here in Pittsburgh, I won't have time to unpack all of the boxes of prizes in my gameroom, organize the prizes according to people who won them, pack the prizes up so they don't break in the mail and then go to the post office and stand in line with about 65 boxes and padded envelopes!! As you can imagine, I'm real popular there!!! Actually, I go to a very small post office which doesn't have a lot of activity on an early Saturday morning and my husband, Bill, helps me carry the full load of boxes and padded envelopes into the post office. They are very nice there and don't give me any hassle and the few people who do come into the post office go to the only other window to transact their busines.. Thanks again to everyone who helped make the Berner-Garde Fundraiser a HUGE SUCCESS!!! ...AND. Save your money for the next fundraisers coming up very soon!!! Joye Neff and Nicky (and Ben) Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA
Re: One Door Closes
One Door Closes and a Window Opens came up as jumbled letters which made no sense on my screen when I was reading the Berner-L this morning at my computer. Did anyone else have this problem? Just curious!
Re: Rescue help needed in PA
Rescue help needed for a 7yr. old male TDI BMD by the name of Echo. His owner goes out of town 3-4x per yr and the petsitter situation is not working out. If anyone in the Bethlehem, PA area or vicinity can take care of him while they are away, please let me know. The dog needs a fenced in area and is great with other animals and ofcourse people. The owner thinks he misses doing Therapy work and that would be a plus if he could do that as well. The owner may be willing to give him up if the right match came along. If you are interested or can help out in any way with the babysitting (they will pay) I can be e-mailed directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Marla Weinman Rescue Contact, BMDCW
RE: Fundraiser prizes.....
I will be mailing out the paintings this week, so if Joyce and Betsy can email me to confirm their mailing addresses, I'll get those ready to go. I'm going to miss those paintings! Congratulations to all, and Berner-Garde was the real winner! Thank you Joye for the hours and hours of time you spend doing this, anyone interested in working with her to learn the ropes and help free her time up for other things? g Pat Long ( Luther) Berwyn PA mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
Re: berner-l change
Thank you for all of the unending work you have each done to keep us informed, connected, and educated with our Berners!! Hopefully no one will get lost in the move. Thanks LeAnn, Anyone having problems still, I have posted a short while ago about checking that all the email addresses you have listed with your Yahoo Group Account are verified, this is very important! Don't forget, even if you haven't managed to get in yet, you can still see what's going on and read the Messages on the Group Home Page! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Berner-l/ Love Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Gang X http://bernese.biz

Alison, It's not just you - it's the whole List. Anyone who joined after Friday night is in the same boat - they are on the List, they are able to post, but not getting any email that I've been able to determine. I have a request in to the moderators' group, they have Yahoo technical people there, and I'm hoping to get a response asap!!

Ari....Inside the Front Door
Inside the front door is a good place. A place where Ari waited for me, even if I just went out to check the mail. She sat peeking over the screen door and listening for my footsteps. And wherever I went, and wherever she was when I left, she would always be waiting for me there. It was a place of excited dancing at the prospect of another adventure, even if it was just a walk in the park or a ride in the car. And when the sun came through in the afternoon, it was a good place for a nap. When you picture Ari in your minds eye, see a silly girl. Sitting there with head cocked, one ear flipped over, and her tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth. Smiling. I see Bacchus looking around quickly as if he's just seen something out of the corner of his eye. And I know what he sees. The hint of a halo and the wisp of a wing. I believe Ari knew exactly what she was doing. She showed such courage to make sure she was home. And I believe when Ari left her crate this morning, she knew exactly where she was going. And she made it as far as inside the front door. And the angels took her from there. My sweet, sweet girl. I will miss your kisses, soft as velvet. Cathi with Bacchus

Winners....and upcoming Fundraisers
look who got herself a fancy new tote bag to carry her fancy new sweater in??!! Hi Jennier, Isn't it exciting to win things in the Fundraisers? Congratulations!!! The funny thing is that it's even exciting when you don't win something, because in our fundraisers, you know many of the people who did win and you feel happy for them...ANDyou also have a warm, happy feeling because you know that your contribution has helped our wonderful Berners!!! I did want that Thomas the Tank Engine shelf, but I'll have to order it myself from Ozark Railway :-)! * Yes, that's an added benefit for the generous vendors who donate such lovely items to our fundraisers. People try to win them, but if they don't win, many times they do purchase items from them, which is nice, too. Now about the berner pillow and berner etching -- how do I go about getting myself one of those? Anyone have a web site for these items?? * If there is a website in the box with the donor's name, that usually means that you can order the item if you didn't win it. As far as those lovely etchings are concerned, they are a limited edition with BARC (Berner Auction Recue Coalition) and can be ordered from Jane Heggen [EMAIL PROTECTED] And here's hoping there will be more Willem paintings for the next fund raiser! Keep 'em coming Willem! * OH BOY.are you ever going to LOVE the Thanksgiving Fundraiser that we are going to have!! It is going to be an exclusive Willem Wijnberg Item Fundraiser to raise money to fight cancer in our Berners. He has been working very hard to supply us with some paintings and prints, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise you'll just have to wait until I launch that Thanksgiving Fundraiser. We have a Fundraiser for BEHAF (Berner Emergency Health Assistance Fund) coming up real soon - it will start in early October and run until mid-November. I don't have enough items for that fundraiser just yet, and would happily accept berner items now. Just send me an e-mail and tell me what you are donating, and send it to me, so I can photograph it and get it on our website. BEHAF is in need of money so they can help Berners in need of medical assistance. You can check out their website at: In the next week, I will be doing a MINI-FUNDRAISER for LOC (Light One Candle.) Did you know that our lobbying funds will run out next month? We need to raise some quick money so we can continue our lobbying efforts for our Berners. SoI will be announcing a short 2 week Mini-Fundraiser for LOC. There will be just seven very nice items for this fundraiser and from the time it's announced you will have to send in your checks right away. NO dilly dallyingor procrastinatingor thinking you'll do it later. There won't be time for that - you will have to DO IT RIGHT AWAY Of course, I have plans already in the works for fundraiser for 2004 - we'll do one for BARC and of course we'll also do the 2004 Annual Berner-Garde Fundraiser again. I already have a bunch of Berner items in boxes in my gameroom (actually it's now knows as Fundraiser Central in my house.) Sokeep saving your change or keep not buying something each day and putting that money away for our fundraisersor get a 2nd job to support your Berner Fundraiser habitor whatever you do to be able to generously support our Berners causes, because I am going to have lots to tempt you over the next months!!! THANK YOU to everyone who helps with the fundraisers and especially to Karen Pickel who labors over our websites to make them very special. Without all of you none of these fundraisers would amount to much!!! Berner hugs from Joye and Nicky Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA

RE: [Berner-l] Not getting posts
Caroline, Nope! You did nothing wrong! I've found out what the problem might be, but I'm not positive quite yet. Apparently once you go over 200 members, Yahoo puts your membership list in another category, and updates are no longer instantaneous, but are usually hourly. If they are doing some other work, the updates may take several days. So, I'm going to try to stick with Yahoo for now. What that means is that when you join, it may take awhile before you can set your mail preference. In the meantime, you can go to the berner-l group and read the emails there on the web. You can post to the List. But you won't necessarily be able to receive email without a bit of a delay. Once everyone is on the List and we're up and running, it won't be a problem (she said optimistically), it's just the initial setup that will be a growing pain for us all. The other option is to use a different email list. Which is likely to have some growing pains of its own. I wish I could find my magic wand and convert everyone transparently, but I've misplaced it somewhere. Thank you all for being patient, we will get there!!! Pat Long ( Luther) Berwyn PA

You better believe I'll start saving my money for this upcoming fundraiser. I've not won one of your paintings yet, but I'll keep trying. Gosh if you're ever looking for berners to paint, I'm sure you can start yourself a business painting the berners on this list for a commission (fee). That is if you ever get any free time between fundraisers! All the best, and keep up the great work!

Dear Mie, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Merly. How very sad. I know the heartbreak of malignant histiocytosis and the absolute feeling of helplessness you feel when you can't change the course of events. I'm sending you healing hugs and hope that the pain that you are feeling in your heart today will someday be replaced with the many happy memories of the times you spend with Merly. Give Petra a hug from me, too. She is surely missing Merly too. Hugs and love, Joye and Nicky

Re Yahoo Groups

A few months ago I was getting some 200-300 junk mails in per evening, I'm now using MailWasher and am now down to about 50 a day! I've heard that you should use different screen names on your group accounts to eliminate some spam. I don't understand how that would help and I don't understand how to do it. I don't think that would help with spam, but you can use different email addies with different groups (and different Profiles) http://groups.yahoo.com/myprefs Click on Account Info to make any changes.

LAST DAY - Drawing is this evening....
This is your absolutely last day to be able to make a donation to Berner-Garde and be entered into the drawing for the wonderful 99 Berner items in our fundraiser.The drawing will be late this evening and I would hate anyone to miss out on an opportunity to win some very nice things. So.THERE IS STILL TIME to enter the contest - all you have to do is send me a check and also to send me an e-mail with the amount you are sending and the instructions for distributing your tickets into the envelopes.See, that is so easy and you have a very good chance to win some excellent items and help Berner-Garde and the BMDCA Health Committee develop a DNA Repository and Tissue Bank that will benefit our Berners at the same time. You can be part of the solution by just donating money to the Berner-Garde Fundraiser - we need your help. Here is the website: http://www.overthefence.com/helpberners/bg/ I'll look forward to the many messages that I know will come to my computer while away for most of today!!! Thank you to all for your continuing support!!! Bernerly, Joye Neff and Nicky (and Ben) Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, PA
BMDCA Code of Conduct
Just a reminder that September 10th is the deadline for getting comments and feedback in to the committee that worked hard to develop a new code to consider. I'd love to find out that just as many people wrote in with their comments about the COC as people who wrote in about Bernd's new book. The publisher had over 200 responses, and I'd love to hear that at least that many BMDCA club members took the time to read and comment on the proposed COC. To those of you who have already given feedback, thank you! I have long wanted to see a more meaningful code for the club, and it cannot be done without the consensus and support of the membership. Each thoughtful comment is helpful. If you support it, let them know! If you don't support it, give them some specifics. They are doing this work for all of us, and the very least we can do is to assist them in those efforts. I've seen the complaints about the club not having a strong meaningful code, and this is our chance to have some input. To read the proposed code and for information about how to submit comments, go to: http://www.bmdca.org/coc/intro.pdf or just go to www.bmdca.org under the section Announcements. Pat Long Berwyn PA

I hope you don't mind me sending this on to the berner-l also. It is simply my interpretation after reading Kessel's posts you sent. To be honest with you, these posts are so absurd, they made me laugh! We all, from the berner-l, have ALWAYS shown kindness and compassion for each other. What this individual said was so far out there and so off colour compared to who we are on the list and what we stand for, I found myself chuckling. Sorry for the opposite reaction of being fired up and angry like everyone else, I thought the post so 'OFF', it was absurdly STUPID and BAZAAR!! Hey, whatever floats one's boat. Not one of us agree with this individual and I feel no harm done here because if anything, everyone simply set out to prove him/her WRONG! Ha!!

Re: One Door Closes and a Window Opens
Being a faithful and devoted Berner owner since 1994, I have to say that losing my first Berner has been an experience that has been both heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time. Bernard of Puddingstone (Bernie to our family) came into our lives on a cold, snowy day on the NYS Thruway. He was handed to me at the age of 49 days in a blanket by JoAnne Gerow when because of an overturned truck we could not make it all the way up to her kennel. He sat on my son Josh's lap, then 7 yrs. old and now turning 16, and instantly became an integral part of our family. He was our protecter(as well as the entire neighborhood's!) and a loving and faithful family member for almost 9yrs. This past summer he came on vacation with us to Montauk, NY along with our 1yr. old BMD, Buzz and Van our newly adopted Golden. I will be forever grateful for taking him with us because it turned out to be his last week with our family for when we arrived home he passed away with a smile on his face and dignity just a few days later. He was my loyal and faithful guy right to the end. I walked out of our kitchen to check my email and he passed when I left. He protected me to the end by not breathing his last breath in front of me. Buzz and Van refused to leave his side. Van, a 2 yr. old Golden who is a reject from the Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ came into our lives for a reason for sure. He was given up to me by a family that I worked for this summer who could not give him the quality of life he deserved. He has made life without Bernie so much more bearable. He truly came into our lives just at the right time. Thanks you's go out to all that were there to support us during this really hard time. For those of you that knew Glora Henes, Bernie was one of her last puppies from Peter the Great and I dedicate this little email in her memory. I always wanted to become more involved in the BMDCW and this past spring I took on the position of rescue along with Margaret McMath. Thanks go out to Margaret for all of her help and support in the Rescue arena. I couldn't have a better mentor! Lastly, Congratulations and Best of Luck to Barbara and Bob on their adoption of Sammy. Thank you for your gift as well! They are delicious! I am so happy that I was able to assist you in finding your BMD! Marla Weinman Rescue Contact BMDCW

David Sandler and Charisma -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 06, 2003 4:53 PM To: Berner-l; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: baka: no blockages but still having hind end problems i'm greatly relived to know baka's diarrhea problem was unrelated to the hind end weakness and pain. baka's been blood tested (came back perfect except showing some dehydration), xrayed (intestine walls stomach looks 100% normal now), examined by hand multiple times (nothing gets a negative reaction, she just grins wags), and ultrasounded (nothing out of the ordinary). last night baka ate several small bland meals (she was ravenous), peed fine, no vomiting, no nausea, no dry heaves nor grass eating. baka even pooped last night, the first half was a little soft full of grass, but the second half looked perfectly normal formed. the digestion problem should be cleared up completely by tomorrow night i think the vet is very confident there is not a blockage. unfortunately that leaves us without an explanation for baka's inability to stand up the other day. baka is standing up on her own as of yesterday and she'll walk from spot to spot when she's in the mood, but she's still arching her back walking strangely with her hind legs. baka's also still slow to rise and slow to lay down, as if she were stiff or sore (like she used to before her hip surgery a couple years ago). our vet didn't feel or see anything obviously wrong, so we're a little confused. and we don't want to put any pain killer in her system until we're certain the diarrhea is completely resolved (she lost 6 lbs! in just those 4-5 days). i'm thinking of taking baka to see the chiropractor vet who is 30 minutes away. my thinking is that maybe her hands are more sensitive could feel something being off that our regular vet might miss? either way, my vet is expecting my call monday to see how baka did over the weekend decide what to do next. i'm trying not to worry, but this is certainly confusing. i don't like seeing my baby hurt not know ho to fix it (and baka *so* unhappy now that the weather's cooled off i won't let her go to the dog park, every time we walk past the car she whines at it). thank you to everyone who's emailed their support advice. laura baka chapel hill
Worried Mother Syndrome-Ari takes a ride
Everything is fine. But late this morning Ari didn't look right. Didn't want to stand, when she did she was roach-backed, stiff legged, tail tucked. Temp was elevated. I called the emergency vets and they said bring her in just to make sure. Of course, when we got there she was wagging her tail saying hello..they are so wonderful there. They looked her over, but said they expected a bit of WMS [worried mother syndrome]. Then they told me how tickled they are by the people calling for Ari. Evidently now, after taking a call, the receptionist goes into the back and announces I just got a call from [fill in location]. And they are all just blown away. She told me she got tears in her eyes yesterday. And this is without including the wonderful people who are sending help by mail. Wait till they see that. Thanks again a million times over for everyones prayers, support, suggestions, and help with her bills. You are not just affecting me and the babies.but an entire emergency clinic is overwhelmed by the generosity of the berner community. Cathi with Bacchus and Ari
Berner Christmas Stocking
I just wanted to take a quite moment to thank the owners of Decadent Dog in South Haven, MI for shipping me the Berner Christmas Stocking that I purchased while in town over Labor Day weekend. Dharma loves her stocking and loves her gourmet treats. You guys have a wonderful store and I see why it is the most popular store in South Haven, MI. If anyone is ever in or near South Haven, MI - I highly recommend visiting Decadent Dog - its wonderful. Terri
re: baka: no blockages but still having hind end problems
Hi Laura and Baka, I finally realized I had a similar (but not exactly the same) episode with my dog Tanzi in June. We had showed on Saturday and she was not quite as perky as usual, and had mild diarrhea. Got home, she ate as usual and spent most of the evening outside. At bedtime I called and she did not come. So I had to go out and find her (very large fenced backyard). She was unable to get up (she is 2 1/2). I helped her and she was very lame in her hind end (her GDC's are excllent, with normal elbows). So I called the emergency clinic and took her in. I had to basically carry her into the clinic. They gave her morphine for pain and told me it might make her vomit. Sure enough, it did - and up came a large pair of panties (not mine) rolled into a nice compact cylinder garnished with hair and grass, so it looked like a dead rat. Since I had paid about $3500 for her dam's treatment and surgery the prior year, related to swallowing an entire pair of pantyhose (not mine, again) in one piece, we had a few good yucks over all the money I had saved, and I took Tanzi home. She was a dead weight and I had to set her down in order to open the front door. I could carry her if she was elevated, but I could not really pick her up from the ground. So I somehow got her just inside the front door (up one step) and set up an x-pen around her. Checked her at 7 a.m. and she had not moved and was not much better. She ended up going back to the emergency clinic in the afternoon - but now she was lame in the front! X-rays revealed inflammation of the joints. So they put her on Rimadyl and sent me home. By that night, she was completely normal again. And has been normal ever since. However, I just heard about a friend's dog who had to be spayed due to pyometra that had also resulted in peritonitis. From what I understand, she had lameness and swollen joints as well. I had been worried Tanzi might have been bloating and had heard that hind end lameness can be related to abdominal distress. So maybe the panties had caused that?? But what about that front-end lameness? It was almost like the inflammation was moving from joint to joint??? Whatever it was, it was brief in duration but it really scared me. Within 24 hours, she was fine. But at times during those 24 hours, I was worried that she might die. To see a normally incredibly sound and very active young dog, unable to walk, is scary. I hope all is well with Baka, but if you ever get more explanation I would love to hear what it was. We don't have any answers on Tanzi. I was thinking maybe the hind-end was due to the panties, and the front-end was just caused by straining to make up for the rear but I am not at all convinced. I am almost wondering if she had some weird virus? Sharon Montville - Firstrax - Colorado __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Pat I signed up Yahoo. No Problem, but do we have to log into Yahoo to get the mailing? I assume that we won't see it as mail delivered as You've got mail?. Does this question make any sense to you? Esta Dalsass

For anyone who has signed up for Yahoo over the weekend, I think there is some sort of problem. Your email address is not on the member list, and one person who changed the setting for the list did not have it take effect. So I'm hoping it will resolve soon!!! Pat Long ( Luther) Berwyn PA
