Re: [NaturalBerners] OT -- Ari update #3

2003-09-05 Thread bernerlover
I was so touched when I saw this post. I'm sorry I didn't include the phone
for the vet clinic. Actually, the number I have [memorized...but I looked it
up in the book, too] is [330]452-5116. They do not answer their phones
between 8am-6pm while they are closed. They are open from 6pm-8am Mon-Fri
and from 6pm Fri-8am Mon. In other words nights and weekends. All times are
Eastern Standard time.

So much for sleeping. I'm like a kid on Christmas eve. Took me till midnight
to doze off.then I was up at 4. Reminds me of the night [s] before we
went to first pick up these 2 furbabies.

Who cares..I can sleep later.

Love to all

Cathi with Bacchus and Ari

 I would imagine that one could call the veterinary clinic with a VISA
number
 as well. It might make donations easier for folks. Not from a trust
aspect,
 just from a getting it done aspect. I know for me in Canada, it would be
 easier from a foreign funds aspect.

 I think that's what I'm gonna do. The phone number (looked it up on the
 internet) is (330) 452-8906. Wouldn't it be cool if she got there to pick
 her up and Ari's bill is paid!! That would be grand, indeed!!

There is still time to enter the Berner-Garde Contest......

2003-09-05 Thread Dr. William B. Neff
Never fearthere is STILL TIME to enter the Berner-Garde Fundraiser and 
to try to win one or more of the 99 wonderful berner prizes.   Check out 
the fundraiser website that Karen Pickel did for us:

http://www.overthefence.com/helpberners/bg/

The drawing for the winners will be late Sunday evening.   Now, you're 
probably thinking that your check won't reach me in time and you're right, 
BUT if you send me an e-mail with the amount of your check, or cheque if 
you are outside of the USA, then I'll put your tickets into the drawing for 
you before the drawing, even though I don't have your check/cheque yet.

Remember that your donations are going towards a joint project being 
planned by Berner-Garde and the BMDCA Health Committee to fund a DNA 
depository of both healthy and ill Berners and a tissue bank of samples 
from diseased Berners.   These samples will be accompanied by pedigree and 
health information, so this new depository and tissue bank will be most 
helpful to researchers who study hereditary diseases in Berners.

Won't you help us raise money to help the Berners of today and the Berners 
of tomorrow?   I'm sure your Berners will thank you!!

Getting excited about the drawing.

ARI IS HOME!!!!!!

2003-09-05 Thread bernerlover
Sweet Ari is home. She actually TROTTED out of the emergency clinic. Now she
has assumed her rightful place-smack dab in the middle of the waterbed-and
is sleeping quietly.

Bacchus was overjoyed to see her. I am being careful not to let him get too
exuberant with her. He is just so happy she is home.

While I was there picking Ari up this morning, 2 people called to offer
their credit cards to help with her medical bills. I couldn't believe it.
Neither can the staff there. In fact, I have to apologize if the
receptionist seemed a bit harried. She was trying to get 3 dogs [plus Ari]
released, I mentioned to her that someone might call to offer help, and she
said That was the 2nd call I've taken in the last 15 min. Then she said
I'm going to ask how to 'do' this, this is the first time this has ever
happened.

What a wonderful testament to the berner community. Again, I am just
overwhelmed. I will never be able to thank everyone enough. When I was
looking for solace the other day, I opened a book someone gave me about
angels. I would like to share these words.

Angels come to help and guide us in as many guises as there are people who
need their assistance. Sometimes we see their ethereal heavenly shadow,
bright with light and radiance. Sometimes we only feel their nearness or
hear their whisper. And sometimes they look no different from
ourselves---until, their work done, they leave suddenly, quietly, with only
a hint of a halo or a wisp of a wing behind to make us wonder.---Eileen
Elias Freeman

Dedicated to the loving bernerfolk out there.

Gratefully,

Cathi with Bacchus and Ari

FYI, Cathi's emergency vet's phone number is 330-452-5116.  The other 
Vet Clinic with the same name is NOT the emergency clinic where Ari 
is/was... Unfortunately, the Emergency Clinic keeps emergency hours, 
so we can't call 'til after 6:00.  I don't know if they let her check 
out without paying the bill in full or not, but my plan is to call 
tonight and find out if one can still contribute to it that way.

The phone number previously posted got me a private home answering 
machine, so not sure WHAT that was...

Happy Birthday to me, I just ordered Bernd's book!
