Re: Weird things eaten
Audrey, I'm certain it's okay for her to eat those tags as Schoenli IS the consumer!

Re: weird things eaten
Hi, I'm new to this site and we have a 2 year old male bernese named NEO. He was a good friend of OBERON'S who we miss very much. I was reading the pantyhose story and was reminded of NEOs weird eating habit. We were living in our house about 9 months when we decided to do some remodeling. NEO was about 6 months old at the time. He would be home with his sister Maddie (A Jack Russell) during the day with the workmen and was very well behaved for a pup. Once the work was done and the workmen were gone and the doggies were left alone during the day how things changed! Imagine my surprise when I came home from work one day to find a 1 foot in diameter hole in my brand new sheetrock wall! Not sure as to which dog did it we checked them both. We looked at their paws, in their teeth and in their fur. Still unsure but with suspicion we told them not to do it again and set off for work the next morning. Upon arrival in the evening I found another hole, this time in the new diningroom. It became a viscous cycle. I would come home, find a hole, fix it, leave come home, find a hole, fix it and so on and so forth. We finally asked our vet about it and he told us that NEO was suffering from separation anxiety and wanted to be with us so badly whenever we left the house that he was trying to get out! Through the walls! Luckily for all of us he did outgrow this habit and is now a perfect gentlemen whether left at home with his sister Maddie (the jack russell) or his brother Oliver (a parrot). I must add that Bernese are very well mannered and they can live together with animals of varying breeds quite well. Size does not matter to NEO. He is many, many times larger that Maddie and even larger to a parrot. They all walk around and play together and he is never the aggressor. Amy Skiles

Hi Pauline, Your account of the Spitz reminded me of my marrow bone feeding days, I made the mistake of feeding bones that were only two inches long and I had a young bitch jam one over her lower jaw. We were racing to the vet to have it sawn off so I could get home in time with her before the Freezing Rain came in. So yes it can happen to Berners as well! Rose T.
