Re: Dogs call names
What a fun subject Pat. Before Snowden arrived home I was searching for names on a baby name website that gave you the meanings origins of the names. I already had his registered name picked out Skylands Storm Front, since he was born on the night that I went to a Billy Joel concert in Philadelphia, Storm Front was the album for the concert tour. Snowden: from the snowy hillorman from the snow capped mountain. Came from the babyname website. I thought what a great name for a mountain dog. So the Snowy goes w/the storm front too! Since that's what we are having here in the Northeast as this BIG storm is finally here in PA. Looks like we are going to get 1-2 FEET of snow until it's all done Monday night...anyway. Sometimes people say He doesn't looked snowed-in Ha, Ha. He has lots of nicknames: Snowy, Snowman, Snowdrift, Snowhead, Snowfluff...they go on. Misha was one of the BARC rescues from the 2nd auction that came from Russia. So I wanted a russian sounding name I remembered the mascot from the 1980 winter olympic games that were in Russia. Misha was a really cute fuzzy bear that was the mascot that's the name that came to my mind when I saw the little bundle of berner fuzz. Her name that I gave her for the AKC ILP # is Misha BARC's Alot. She can be quite vocal I wanted to have the BARC name in there also. Looking forward to reading about the other pups names on the berner-L Getting snowed-in here in PA, Beth Schmoyer Bethlehem, PA Snowden 5 years old Misha 2 years old the cats.

Re: Happy Birthday! Dog Cakes
We have a doggie bakery here in town, Bone Appetit! They make a few different flavored doggie bone shaped cakes, garlic chicken, peanut butter carob, banana something... Anyway the kids usually get a cake from there every year. They write the doggies name age on if you want there is a candle. It is topped off with this big dog cookie bone that the writing goes on. It is just too cute. I have photos of them w/their cakes. I know he does do mail order for the cakes. Beth Schmoyer Snowden Misha (mom, i'm gettng a cake this friday right???)

SUPER EASY DOG COOKIES
SUPER EASY COOKIES 3 cups oats ½ cup vegetable oil 1 cup flour (any kind will do) 1 cup broth or tomato juice Garlic powder or garlic granules at least one tablespoon. Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Spray pan with Pam. Spread mixture into pan evenly out to all of the edges. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Score with knife or pizza cutter into blocks. Bake 30 minutes more. Break up cookies into squares. If they are still soft bake for 15 more minutes. If not soft, leave them in the oven, while it cools down, preferably overnight for the biscuits to dry a bit more. My guys really love these treats. They can't get enough are so easy to make.

Dog Treat: Pumpkin-Patch Biscuits
HI Michaela, Harvey Rups list. Thank you for posting your treat recipe. I have many to share with the group so as I get them into the computer I will post them. My dogs really liked this treat. The only problem is they stay very moist I just had them on the counter in a ziplock bag they became moldy after a week. So next time I'm going to store them in the fridge the rest in the freezer take them out as needed. Enjoy, Beth Schmoyer the spoiled pups Snowden Misha Bethlehem, PA PUMPKIN-PATCH BISCUITS 1½ CUPS WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR 1 TBSP. BROWN SUGAR ½ TSP. GROUND CINNAMON ½ TSP GROUND NUTMEG (OPTIONAL) 4 TBSPS BUTTER FLAVORED CRISCO ½ CUP CANNED PUMPKIN 1 WHOLE EGG ½ CUP BUTTERMILK Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and Nutmeg and cut in shortening. Beat egg with buttermilk and pumpkin and combine with flour, mixing well. Stir until soft dough forms. Drop by table- spoons onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Cool thoroughly before serving. Enjoy in moderation, as eating too much of anything could upset your stomach. Limit yourself to no more than two at a time. “BONE” appetite! You can substitute other flours such as rice, rye, oatmeal, potato, etc… if your dog has allergies to white wheat flours. Best if stored in refrigerator or freeze and take out as you need them.

When making treats for my allergic Snowden we substitute the wheat, white corn flours w/rice or rye flours he seems to be fine. I do have a bunch of recipes that my mom, Snowy's treat chef :0), has that she makes for him all of the time. If there is interest I could post them to the list. When baking make sure you roll out the dough at a consistent thickness (1/8 to 1/4). You can also leave the treats on the cookie sheet in the oven with it turned OFF door open so they harden up a bit more, usually overnight. Have fun baking for your pups, Beth Schmoyer Snowden Misha Bethlehem, PA
Re: sandicast
I have a very nice Sandicast berner that is about 10 or so lying down. Very nice. I picked mine up at my local hallmark store.

chasing tails
Hi there, How many of your berners out there chase their tails? Misha is crazy about hers. She chases it round round. Then when she finally gets hold of it in her mouth she just spins across the yard,living room where ever she is. It is just too funny. When she finally stops she looks so dazed confused, then she starts all over again usually in the opposite direction, maybe she is unwinding herself then. She has done this one time that I must have watched her for 10-15 mintues. She's just a girl having fun. I wish I could catch it on film. Beth Schmoyer Snowden Misha Bethlehem, PA (where we just received about 8 of snow the dogs are having so much fun)

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 )

Re: Bloating and burping
In a message dated 11/5/2002 9:59:59 AM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: There are many ways to slow down a greedy eater and my favorite has been to use my large puppy dish that is raised in the middle, or you can use a large flat pan with a large rock in the middle. When Misha came to live w/us she ate so quickly. My veterinarian suggested putting the food in a large cake pan or cookie sheet then put her bones kongs around so she would have to push the toys around to get her food. I even put the food inside the kongs sterilized bones. She slowed down w/time now she doesn't eat nearly as fast as she did when she 1st came home.
