Hotel Update for 2004
Just to give you an update. The hotel is STILL sending out confirmations. Based on info from the hotel they are anticipating confirmations to continue to be mailed out for at least the next two weeks, possibly three. It also appears that as usual our US Postal service is sometimes extremely slow. There were a couple of committee members who just got confirmations toward the end of last week that were mailed two weeks prior. The hotel has stated We are not Sold Out. If a guests wants a room they will have one. The hotel is still helping us as much as possible. They are doing all negoitians for any overflow rooms and getting concessions from these hotels that do not normally accept dogs. The reservation manger, Stephanie Rowe has indicated that the best way to reach her if you have questions or need changes to your reservation is to email her. She may be reached at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stephanie has indicated that with the volumn she has received she would prefer communications to be in writing to be sure all requests are taken care of. Just so you all know, Stephanie is the single person at the hotel managing all of our confirmations. This is in addition to her other daily duties. It was decided to have a single person focus on our group, so there is less chance of confusion. Please be patient with her as she works on our group info every day. I do currently have a list with about two thirds of the names that reservations have been received from. For those that I have, I will be happy to at least confirm that your reservation has been received by the hotel. If you would like to email me the name you booked your reservation under, I can at least do that for you. If I don't have your name in the 2/3's I have I can forward your email to the hotel to check and make sure they have your reservation request. If you need that information PLEASE BE SURE TO USE THIS EMAIL TO CONTACT ME:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I know you are all anxious to get your confirmations, 2004 is going to be a great specialty.

Happy Fathers Day!
BlankJust wanted to extend our wishes for a very Happy Fathers Day to all the Berner children Dads out there, oh and also the very important Dads of our Human children as well. I do hope that the important people and canines in your lives show their love and appreciation today and everyday. Stevie's human Dad is not in our lives much any more, but with all that has transpired, they still love each other, unconditionally, no question. It just goes to show the power of the connection between us and our beloved Berners. So on that note, I will be the Dad today and we WILL go out for something to eat and slurp. I am just wondering if that means, that I get to buy myself a Father's Day gift?? Anyway, love to you and yours. Big Berner Hugs and Kisses Stevie and Karen NB,Canada
Eating Goose Poop
My seven year old Berner girl doesn't normally eat poop, but just recently has been taking every opportunity to eat goose poop whenever we take her walking near lakes or parks where Canada Geese are found. Is there anything harmful in this?

ingrown hairs
Hi all, My girl has an ingrown hair, right where her back leg meets her belly and they rub together. She's not really wild about me touching it, but it's not very inflamed at this point. I'm looking for some advice on clearing it up, or pulling that hair out. Any experience out there? Thanks, Kendra, Jackson, and Sallie Carmel, NY
Frosty Paws recipe
I know this has been posted a zillion times, but would someone please email my the Frosty Paws recipe? Thank you, Kendra, Jackson, and Sallie Carmel, NY

Mom, Robin mailed me some time ago about Michael's paintings when he first painted Bernese, Kodi! I just had to feature his work in fact was the beginnings of my Bernese Art Section on the Site, artists had previously been on my Links page. He has a new one of 3 Berner puppies that is really nice Haven't seen this one yet!! Will mail Robin, and hopefully will soon have it up there! In the meantime find Michael's work and link to his site on my Bernese Art Page. All love, Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang http://berneze.biz

Birds becoming brazen and bold
Funny the things we remember. I was in my teens and visiting my grandparents in Miami Beach, Florida. Animal lover that I am, I decided to stroll along the beach and feed the birds. Either they were starving or did not care for the brand of biscuits that I brought, because, the very second the bag was emptied, these large winged creatures took flight toward me, for all intents and purposes looking as though they wanted me for dessert. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. The local birds seem to enjoy landing on my fence where my younger dog can reach them. When she is but inches away from them, they take flight, seeming to enjoy teasing my precious pup. Lisa Allen _ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
