Looking for Jamar-Bred Berners

Would anyone with a berner bred by Jamar Kennels please email me?  I'd love to talk 
with and meet others for fun!
Thanks

Gus ate a tree!

2003-01-16 Thread Imbrich
Gus loves to be outside in very cold weather. Since I have an office in the house, and 
an invisible, he can stay outside safely for an hour or two. I noticed last night that 
our mischievous 19 month old berner boy has chewed or eaten a very large (and woody) 
azalea bush down to the stump.  Any suggestions that may save the lives of our other 
azaleas while still allowing Gus to stay outside?
Thanks
Betsy Rich




Berners Horses Cats

2002-11-27 Thread Imbrich
In addition to Augustus, his non-berner brother Scooter and our horse Blue, we also 
breed Maine Coon Cats- the largest, sweetest and most dog like cats on earth.  All of 
our cats (4 at the moment) love the dogs.  They push Augustus and Scooter away from 
their dog food and love to cuddle between their front legs.  Our youngest female cat, 
Desdemona, especially loves to run her luxurious tail under the dogs' chins as she 
walks by.  Berners  Horses  Cats- what can be better!

happy thanksgiving

2002-11-27 Thread Imbrich
 TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING, 
 BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP,
 I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS, 
 I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
 THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED - 
 THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE
 BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT
 TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION
 THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION!
 SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR
 AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
 I GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
 PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.
 I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
 'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
 I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY
 WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
 BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES
 HAPPY EATING TO ALL!!
 PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.
 MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
 MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
 MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,
 MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
 MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.
 HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING TO BERNERS AND THEIR PEOPLE!




Berners Horses

2002-11-26 Thread Imbrich
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.

Martha Stewart

2002-11-22 Thread Imbrich
I thought Martha Stewart Living was airing Ridgefield Berner Parade story today 
(11/22)  She's in high Thanksgiving mode and unfortunately there's no hint of Berners. 
 Does anybody have an update?
