Re: Need help with ideas
Hi Karen and fellow listers, I recently saw a get together where one of the more disciplined events was fetch a hotdog and bring it back to Mom/Dad without eating it up on the way back. The hotdogs were measured after each retrieval and the dog bringing back the longest hotdog was declared the winner! It was hilarious!

We are planning to have some fun classes such as a biscuit catch and musical hoops(where you have your dog sit in a hoop when the music stops). Does anyone have some ideas on other fun Berner Games that we could use for fun class competitions. We are planning to offer placements such as 1st, 2nd, ect. Thanks!! Karen Jacobs
Re: Humping Male Pup
Hi Nancy, We've just welcomed a 10-week-old male puppy into our household. Well, he has decided to try and hump everything, including our older dog and cat. I am not familiar with this in a puppy so young. How about Simmy as a puppy who didn't hump the cat but used to take her for a ride around the house in her cat basket! Caught some wonderful pics of this on the early pages of the Sunny, Sim Barney section of the Longlease Site. All Love, Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang http://bernese.biz

jolly ball
Our BMD loves balls-mainly to eat . . . I recently bought her a jolly ball and she ate the handle! Does anyone have any suggestions on harder balls that their teeth cannot penetrate? because she LOVES to chew on them! :) Thanks!

The rain held off until the last dogs and their people returned to the meeting area. We were thrilled to meet all of you intrepid walkers and hope to see more of you next year.

Happy Birthday Boris!
My Big Bouncing Berner Boy, Boris (how's that for alliteration!) is 5 years old today! Woo Hoo! Extra cheese for Boris today. No long walks, it's just too hot. 33C again today. Phew! Hoses and the wading pool, I think! Funny story: yesterday morning, Boris was entered in his first agility fun match. We entered the ring, Boris raring to go. Bell rings - ready! Off he gallops round the ring, out the ring, goes to visit a nearby tent, back in the ring and out the other side without taking a single obstacle! I politely bow out and go and retrieve my dog who is happily prancing round in a neighbouring field. On returning, I was chatting to one of the other competitors who was admiring my beautiful dog and heaping praise on his doggish good looks. He was about to console me over Boris's performance in the ring by saying, oh, he's still young, he's be fine when he matures a bit. Then he asked how old is he? 5 tomorrow, I reply. ah he says. Here's to Boris, the eternal puppy. Happy Birthday my big daft dog! Wendy and the Pointy Pests Boris Beard Ottawa, Canada http://members.rogers.com/bernerboris/bernerbooks.html

Migrating Chip
I recently discovered something under the skin down on Halo's shoulder, and it turns out it is her microchip. It has migrated down about 5 inches from where it was inserted at eight weeks -- she is now eight months old. If she were lost, it is not likely they would scan down towards her elbow to find it so she now has two chips -- one where it should be and one that is apparently migrating south for the summer. Does anyone have any experience with migrating chips? Should it be removed? Should I be concerned about it? Thanks, Mary-Ann Bowman
Re: Migrating Chip
Mary Ann, When I got my BARC baby, Star, the chip had already migrated down her side (towards her butt).I was told not to worry about it that the dogs are scanned with the chip migrating in mind. About once a year I ask my Vet. clinic to scan for the chip. I do this for two reasons First to be sure that it is still readable and second that it is findable. I will be interested in hearing what others have to say about your question though. Marilynn Star Minneapolis, MN
Phew!!!!! Think that's the Updates Updated
Evening All, (And No! I do not care what you try to bribe me with, I am not telling you which major character gets bumped off in the latest Harry Potter!!! Boo, Hoo!!!) Think I am finally up to date with my Updates! What did I do tonight? Another fun picture on the Humour Page (Thanks Herb) which I have now divided into three pages so the new stuff should come up a lot quicker, was getting enormous! Two more new pages on the Friends Gallery of Zoe, Tucker and Hannah Burnell, and also Cooper Gandolfini getting the better of his tough guy dad.(Thanks Chris and Herb) An interesting article on Immune System Support (Thanks Karen C and Willem) Special previews of Willem's latest paintings for the next Fundraiser, details TBA (Thanks Willem! Joye, Pat, Karen P??) A new sad poem which I have added to the bottom of the HistioRollCall Page under the Pet Loss Grief Support Rainbow banner.(Thanks Willem and Author Unknown! ) Sadly and belatedly, a tribute page to Shih Tzu, Muffy Lynn, who died in January after an almost four year fight against Lymphoma. It was with great sadness I moved Muffy's page over from the Friends' Gallery, she has been there since I first started my Site. Nikki, her owner, and I were among the very first members of EndlessLove, the support group for owners of pets with cancer. Could I ask you all to do something very special for Nikki? A photograph of Muffy has been submitted to the July Poster Contest for US Shih Tzu Rescue. Com. If everyone gives a click and votes for her, she will win, Angel Paws down! And Nikki would be overjoyed! It will mark the four years since her diagnosis and the start of her chemo treatment. Details of what to do are on her Tribute Page. And yes, Hugh, have added in the link to your page on the Westchester Berner Walk at the bottom of my page!! Must confess, I did rather burn the Midnight Oil last night.! ZZZ!!! Apologies to anyone who has sent me pics and they are not included on these Updates. My Inbox is now clear, so anyone missing out, they were lost in my recent computer crash! I know Karen (Conors) sent me a gorgeous one taken with Angel and Amika. So please resend!! Now, all I have to do is scan is some rather wonderful photos of a recent visit from Barney's ex-owner, Cassie! And for once I get to be in the photos too with My Gang!!! But, not tonight! It's five to midnight here UK and I am definitely off to bed very soon! All Love, Jean, Sunny, Sim, Barney and the Longlease Gang http://bernese.biz
Karen and Stevie
Dear List, Well I just don't know when or if our luck will every change. Received a call tonight at 10:30 p.m. to say that the house that my son and his dad just moved into this weekend was on fire and no one could find my son. My ex-husband is in another province, (he is a truck driver), I was panicked. Of course, I had already felt like I had abandoned my son by moving Stevie and I into our own apartment, but only because my son Trevor did not want to leave the community that he has known for the last 15 years. But now that I am living in the city and away from our small village I was absolutely hysterical to think that something horrible was happening and I was not there. I did finally locate Trevor by his cell phone and he was at a neighbors house. I immediately took off to go to Trevor. By the time I arrived poor Trevor was pretty much in shock, burns to his right arm and almost no hair left on the side of his head and the rest singed. He had tried to get back into the house to save wee George, (Stevie's faithful kitty). Trevor was supposed to bring him into Stevie and I tomorrow. The house is now completely gone and poor George as well. I am just devastated once again. Of course, I am thankful that my Trevor is ok, but they have lost absolutely everything. They were supposed to go and have the content insurance put on when my ex came back which would have been tomorrow also. After our move, and the closing of our house last Friday, there was no insurance on any of their things, and of course many of their things were also my things. Poor Trevor has the clothes on his back and that is it. I know that this is not Berner related, but once again, I needed to pour my bleeding heart out to someone. I realize that I should indeed be thankful, but it is getting harder and harder all the time. It just feels like you get beaten down and you are never sure if you can get back up again. And of course, I am just devastated to think that little George has perished. Poor Stevie will definitely miss him as will I. Please if you can or will, say a little prayer for my family and wee George, once again. I am very heavy hearted. I will be hugging my big Stevie boy very hard tonight, I am the one needing him to comfort me at this point. Love to you and yours. Karen and Stevie NB, Canada
