Fellow L'ers from MI, Thank you so very much for your offers to have my Dad visit your furballs. I have forwarded the several responses I received to him. Hopefully, he does not have any critical plans this coming weekend because I know he would enjoy all the activities that have been scheduled. So, if a 65 year old man that looks like Bill Clinton with a beard and 'tashe introduces himself to you, that's my Dad!!! He'll be smiling the entire event. Thank you for your emails.

Horses and Dogs
Don and I live in Texas and have two Berners. We also have three quarer horses (bred for cutting). We have 25 acrses but the dogs are not allowed to wonder all over; kept in a fenced-in yard. However, a lot of times we let them out to go with us to feed the horses and they know and love each other; never any aggression shown. About four years ago, had a new puppy and I was just getting where I could walk a little; cast on my leg and foot had just been taken off and I took a young puppy out in the back and Oh, gosh, she was headed for the horses---fence between them but she could get under easily. I was hobbling out there as fast as I could but could see I wasn't going to make it before she was right with the horses and she would be new to them; what would they do. All of a sudden, Don's German Shepherd (bred for tracking, herding) came out from nowhere and worked his way under the horse fence and herded them back and then nosed the baby up to me and then just looked up at me as if to say you need to take better care of your baby and off Bridget went to play. We also have a Border Collie who also herds the horses but really hasn't been trained---she leads them in; doesn't get behind them. As my daughter says, Ben acts like a guy who parks cars, keeps coming at you in your car and then runs ahead like, here, here, Park Here!. Dogs and Horses---in my opinion, they get along great.

RE: BERNER-L digest 4143
This is my first time replying to the newsletter, and I dont know if it will work, here goes.I have an 11 month old Berner boy who is the light of my life. Stevie picked me out in Feb. and allowed me to bring him to my home in March. What a joy. I don't think I new what puppy love was until then. My husband and I have recently separated and Stevie has become my companion on many a lonely evening. I also have a 5 year old quarter horse mare named Zoey. She too is so very special to me. She is the first horse that I have bought after taking a 27 year hiatus from horses. I ride western and entered into a few local shows last year and surprisingly she did quite well. My Berner adores her. He loves to hang around the farm where I board her and gives her kisses and nudges on her muzzle. She is not quite sure what to make of this little black horse! Stevie definitely comes into his own when he is allowed to roam free at the farm. The owners and I are best of friends so we are thankfully there alot. I bought my Berner boy from a breeder who also breeds and raises quarter horses. There is a definite connection with Berners and horses. I think it is true LOVE.

I, too, met my husband through horses - I was between horses, living in an apartment, and went to a local gymkhana with a friend. There was this nutty guy there, running barrels on a mustang that had come from out west and that he had trained. He always had a funny comment to make when the horse would do the opposite of what he asked her to. The rest, as they say, is history. Our last horse was a pony that Hal had bought for his youngest son when they were both five. She was euthanized at the age of thirty, having spent the intervening years as THE BOSS of everything on the farm. No dog spent much time scarfing up horse apples without her running them off.

Berners Horses
I just knew that a lot of berner folk were also horse people. As both- and breeders of very large Maine Coon cats- I once had a friend ask me (after seeing our berner) what mental illness caused my need to be surrounded by giant creatures G I am lucky enough to be owned by Augustus, a 16 month old berner boy and Blue, my 20 year old morgan/standardbred gelding. We used to compete in hunter/jumpers in small shows. Now we live to ride the trails. Lucky for us, we live near and stable Blue next to the Rockefeller State Park. It has miles and miles of trails through deep woods, country lanes, stone bridges and open fields- all just 45 minutes north of NY City! Sometimes my husband and kids bring Gus to meet us. People get a kick out of seeing Gus and Blue (who is black with a white star and snip) together and hearing that they are brothers. When we make that announcement, they usually touch noses.Berners Horses- meant for each other :-) Thanks everyone for joining this thread. Betsy Rich

Horses and Berners
I don't know why it surprises me so much, but I am amazed at how many of us have had or have horses. With the holiday's approaching, a very special Christmas eve memory comes to the forefront. The stress of the holidays had really gotten to me and I had recently broken up with my boyfriend. I left work and all I wanted to do was go home and hibernate. I couldn't imagine facing people at the various merry gatherings I was suppose to attend. The snow was coming down heavily and I stopped to pick up my beautiful berner girl, Magic, on my way to the barn to feed the horses. I trudged through the chores and when the horses were all fed, blanketed and put up for the night, I sat there on the grain bin and listened to the comforting munching of hay while Magic worriedly sat at my feet. I need to get out of this funk!!! My wonderful POA pony who I had since she was 2 years old (then 20 years old) had her newly washed red winter blanket on. I grabbed an old set of sleigh bells out of the tack room and a halter lead rope off the hook. I hopped on Dots, tied the bells to her blanket and hooked the lead rope on her halter. With Magic, along side us, we ventured out into the night with the snow coming down all around us. We trotted around neighborhood, bells a-ringing! As we passed people, smiles came across their faces and by the time I returned to the barn, a smile was on my face as well. Both Magic and Dots have left me now, but the memory of that one Christmas eve will never be forgotten. Since Dots, I have owned Promise (QH/Arab cross) who has been donated to a handicap riding program, Tess (TB) who is being leased by a young lady and showing in hunters/equitation and Panda (Paint) who still provides my neices and nephews with rides when they come to visit and me when I have time to ride. The horses have slowly been phased out as most of my time is spent with the dogs. You have to admit, it's a lot easier to load up the dogs to go to a show, than it is to load up the horses.

Berners and horses
Don't have any now :( but it's fun to watch the Berners line up along the fence and play bow to the neighbor's horses. I was as horse-crazy as many girls are when I was a kid, and about the first thing I did when I got my first job was to buy my own horse, a line-back dun called Babe. Babe was poorly broken and a poor choice for an inexperienced handler, but I loved her. She took to flinging herself over backward when she didn't want to be ridden, and on one occasion caught me underneath her. I fractured 2 vertebrae and dislocated both knees (and am paying for it now!) but it was still a wrench to sell Babe when I got married and moved to Los Angeles. At the same time I had Babe I also got Dixie, a POA/Welsh pony, for my younger sisters, and Dixie threw a Quarterhorse mix foal we called Beau. After moving back to Arizona I got a grey Thoroughbred cross named Wellington, a blue Quarterhorse called Sugar, and an Appaloosa called Jack. But our very best horse was a chestnut grade mare named Taco Belle, who was bombproof and the perfect all-around horse. My 5-year-old son learned to ride on Taco, and she'd stand perfectly still while he swung from the stirrup and saddle strings, and shinnied up her front leg to reach the saddle. Steve rode 4-H and gymkhana on Taco, my husband roped off her and worked cattle, and she was my parade and trail horse. She ran the barrels in under 17 seconds, but moved like a snail with a small child on her back and never let a kid fall off. She lived to nearly 40, and I miss her still. Wish I could afford to keep horses again, but I know I'd never find another as good as Taco. Susan B. menagerie :)

Berners and Horses
I showed quarter horses for 11 years. I started with a palomino mare named Skip-N-Jewel and after a few years switched to another palomino mare named Skips Cashette, the winningest palomino ever! Both mares were technically owned by my parents, but I own a black gelding (also a quarter horse) that lives in Oklahoma. I showed in all of the classes, Western, English even halter. But, Western was my favorite BY FAR! Penny Pollock-Barnes Haddonfield, NJ

RE: Dremel Tool Advice
I use a Dremel ($39 variable speed, set at the LOWEST speed to manage heat and to take nails off very slowly - I use the drum tool for fine sanding) on my 6 mo pup. I started exposing her early just to the noise (first, I just held her paw and did nothing -- gave her a treat at the end) and now she is fine with it. We use extra care like one would/should with any tool -- e.g., my husband holds her paw when I operate the tool do it to keep tails, etc. out of the way. I go slowly which is why I use my husband's help. What I have observed is that there is a tendency for people to get in a hurry and use the tool at too fast a speed. This generates heat in the nail and risks injury because of loss of control (taking too much of the nail off at the time). I do not use a Dremel on my two other dogs because they were not exposed to it as pups. If you go slowly and exercise normal caution, the Dremel is a very nice tool for nails. Basically, I use whatever tool my particular dog finds most comfortable. Nail cutting is not something that I enjoy doing and my dogs probably sense that. It might also be because my husband is helping -- he usually leaves dog things to me so it's a big deal when there is a joint operation in my house. In general he is squeamish about these things -- you should have heard him when I gave my dog an injection!! Oh, I couldn't do that! I don't know how you can do this to our Hannah. Oh, that looks like it hurts!and on and on...until I told him to please leave the room while I did it because it was the first time for me and I couldn't handle a husband that was freaking out -- my dog was perfect.

Special: cooking w/dog hair: This won't be on Martha :0)
Bet ya won't find this on Martha's show Friday w/the Berners :0) I received this from a friend. It's a cute one. Having a berner we have multiple ingredents below. Just in time for the holidays. :0) Happy Howlidays, Beth Schmoyer Snowden Misha BARC's Alot Bethlehem, PA With Thanksgiving just around the corner these cooking tips might come in handy The proper way to cook with dog hair--by Mary E. Wooley Do you remember the last time you had company for dinner and how embarrassed you were when you dug up several dog hairs from your best gourmet effort? That is because there is a right way and a wrong way to cook with dog hair. First, we must remember each dish calls for a different variety. If you are unfortunate enough to own only one variety, I'm sure you can come up with a friend who will be willing to exchange the proper variety of hair with you. Or one could send off an order for a rare variety as they are light and easy to mail. There are many dishes that are basic to most menus these can always be spiced up with the Buff variety. These are especially useful when baking biscuits, pastries and yellow cakes. The Black and Tan hairs go well with fall dishes, Thanksgiving turkey, mince, or pumpkin pies or even yams. Black of course is for your roasts, steaks, ribs and hearty dishes including stews which carry blacks well. Naturally, Chocolate will go well with most desserts, unless it is a very light Jell-O type dessert. then go back to the Silver Buff. If you are especially interested in foreign foods most varieties can be used in Mexican Japanese and Chinese cooking. In fact, any nationality food will accept most dog hairs without hurting the food. A good rule of thumb to remember which dog hairs go with which dish is-- use them as you would a good wine-- white wine and light hair with the delicate dishes. Dark wine and dark hair with the more robust, heartier dishes. Use your dog hair in Good Health! (Comment overheard at a dog show. one sure way to tell a real dog person, if we find a human hair in our food, we immediately say oh yuck, I can't eat that it has hair in it! If its a dog hair we just flick it out and go right on eating. Think about it )

Hi berners and horses...what a perfect match!!Duke my first berner loved to go for walks while I rode my first beast..Prince..he was a spooky throughbred..we attempted hunter/equitation. Maggie..my beautiful 9 year young berner..used to help at the farm I worked at. Years ago I used to give her the lead rope from the pony's halter and she would hold it in her mouth and walk the pony into the indoor ring!! It was the cutest thing ever!! My other berner Big Otis... recently lost him to histo..wasn't very fond of the horses..then again I did not work/ride much when he was a puppy. Today I dabble in eventing and Maggie acts like a puppy when we are at the barn...so loves it!! happy turkey day to all!! Maura and Maggie

I was surprised (happily) when he informed me of the following (why cant all the states do this?): In Connecticut pet stores that sell dogs must have all paperwork on hand for every dog. They had a file cabinet with a folder for each dog. When I purchased him I received the folder that includes his family tree back 6 generations, breeder's names, birth date, AKC info and so on. They also get inspected every month by the state for upkeep on records, shots, cleanlyness(sp?) of the store, health of the dogs and so on. It's a checklist with 50 or so checkups they do.

Re: Our Tonka is gone
- Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I know we will never replace him. I am so very sorry to read of your unexpected loss. But we are a family that simply loves our pets and we know we will want to get another dog in the future. Right now it hurts too much to think about, but what do those of you with experience in this kind of loss think? Is there an appropriate length of time to wait before we begin our search for a new dog? I always had a little overlap when I lost a dog companion until I lost my Rohan four years ago; in other words, I always had an older dog and a younger dog, so when I lost my older companion there was still a dog in the house. When I lost Roh, since he was an aggressive breed dog and would have been unable to accept a younger dog pal, I was left with an empty house for the first time since I was a little child. I freaked, honestly, and I brought Micawber into my life as soon as possible after my loss. It was a long two months with no dog in my home. There is no right length of time. It might be days, it might be weeks, months, years . . . every family is different. I truely beleive there is no therapy for a broken heart like puppy breath, and I am willing to bet Tonka will help pick you out a new puppy when you are ready, and nudge him or her your way from the Bridge.

Berners and Cats
Taking the initiative here from Jean. I have one cat who loves the dog. Matter of fact he is mostly dog himself, he just doesn't know he has a cats body and makes cat noises! My fondest memory is of when we first brought Tuxedo (the cat of course) home. The first one to investigate the cat was Dillon with Hope following a close second to see what this new fellow was made of. Boy did he ever fit right in. The dogs and him got along perfectly. He is one of the dogs (figuratively speaking), he begs, sits, sits pretty and comes when called. He also runs to the door with Hope when people come to visit. In our book he definitely fits right in with our family. Kelly Weir and Hope http://home.twmi.rr.com/skylinebmd/index.html/hopeindex.htm
Re: Looking for Stepping Stone
Dag-nab-it, Kim. There is a site that sells dog stepping stones. I think it came up here a couple of years ago. I'll search my favourite links, but can't promise anything. I'll post if I find it.

Bone cancer, be gone!
Moses, like the trooper he has always been, braved his first round of chemotherapy today for osteosarcoma, having had his leg amputated on Nov. 13. He was admitted to Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston for the day for his treatment, spending about 7AM to 8PM there; this is because in addition to the chemo., they do extensive blood work and testing of the urine samples that I brought from Moses. Plus, as a part of the treatment, they must flush the dog's system. They noted, on his discharge summary, that he is a very sweet dog! He is under the expert supervision of Dr. Brum, who coordinates his treatments at Angell. Dr. Brum and all the staff at Angell treat me and Moses, and, I would imagine, all clients and patients, with great respect and gentleness and patience. Moses had adriamycin and cisplatin for chemo. and was also given medicine to prevent tummy upset. He seems fine. The chemo. is necessary because bone cancer tumors are notorious for sending, even before amputation, microscopic cancer cells into the body. I am so proud of Moses!

RE: Oh....so close to my goal for the AKC CHF Fundraiser!!!
Hi Pat, What day are you drawing the winning ticket (I should say MY winning ticket!)? ** Well, I think that you'd have a lot of people who could say the same thing - they all want their ticket to be the winning one and who can blame them when you see the lovely paintings that Willem did for our fundraiser!! The drawing will be on Thanksgiving Day (probably late in the day since I'm having ten people for Thanksgiving Dinner!!!) How much time to I have to tell you how much additional money I'll be sending? ** As long as you tell me before I do the drawing, I can put your tickets into the envelopes. Be sure to tell me how much you are sending and how you'd like me to distribute your tickets for the drawing. It's really down to the wire now - so you procrastinators can't hold off much longer!!! Here is the web site so you can see the beautiful Berner paintings and see the instructions for sending in those 'last minute checks' to me: http://www.overthefence.com/raffle/CHF/ Thanks to Karen Pickel for creating such a wonderful website for our fundraiser!!

Re: Unexpected jealousy
Speaking of talking, has anyone else got a puppy that can't go to sleep or wake up without all sorts of noises and thrashing about? Since he's taken to sleeping in our bed this is particularly noticeable. There's whining, single barks, moans, groans, and noise that defies description. This is a boy about 6 months old. He's also very jealous of our other puppy. We thought he had a problem with taking walks. With some experimenting, we discovered he's jealous of me giving the other dog attention. I can hold him and Chuck the other, or I can hold both, or he can hold both; but I can't hold her and Chuck the Berner. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mike Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Bernese Mountain Dog Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 8:39 AM Subject: RE: Unexpected jealousy Yes, and we discovered our female BMD pup is so much more VERBAL than our male...all kinds of talk always going on...must be a girl thing :~).

Two training problems for the group to advise me
My first problem and question is that I have an old wicker love seat that I just discovered has been nibbled on. Please suggest what to put on it to stop my delinquent. Its on the back leg so staining isn't a problem. Next, Hazel, my SAS one year old, is going wild at night playing in the now cool night air and I have trouble getting her inside. I do not play with her when its time to come in and turn my back as suggested by someone on the L. I have the German Sheppard from you know where next door barking all the time I am outside. This has escalated to the neighbors no longer speaking to me because I mentioned their barking dog. I am afraid Hazel is wanting to play with this dog and could care less about me. I give up and go in the house and when I return, there are several craters of dirt she has dug. I finally have to go get the garden hose, turn it on and squirt water up in the air to get her attention. Then she makes a line for the door. Once in the garage, I have to wash off her feet. While washing her, I can tell she is winded. She comes in the house and crashes for at least an hour. This behavior can't be good for her heart. Please advise me on what I need to do. Karen Alexander
Re: Berners and Cats
oh absolutely! baka has two older kitty brothers loves them to death. unfortunately they both rather wish she'd go back to where ever she came from, though they're tolerating her presence fairly well. baka even plays like a cat, using her paws all the time. we have to look out - those clodhoppers she calls paws pack quite a wallop. she learned that from her best friend, simon the tuxedo kitty. she's been a bit lonely since he died this past fall. i've been wanting to bring her a new brother or sister, kitten or puppy, but have been threatened with major relationship problems if i do it before we find a bigger home. kirk just needs a little convincing, that's all. ;) laura baka chapel hill, nc Hmm!
