Joye,

Some great stuff that's been donated, I love that clock with the Berner. Is it a one 
of a kind as I suspect?

And will you accept even my bad ideas for a name for the Costco Berner? Do you think 
your dogs would mind if I entered a name like Spot, or Rover? Or do I need to come up 
with names like Cerberus, or Sleeping Beauty? Will your judges be more likely to 
choose my entries if I rub them with cheese or with liver? Not that I would ever think 
to influence the judges in any way! I'm just trying to be respectful to their tastes 
and preferences.

And if anyone hasn't seen the painting that I am going to take home with my entry, 
take a look at the puppy under the Hosta! Too cute!!

sigh. oh Pat. Pat. Pat.  Don't you realize how valuable that giant stuffed
Costco Berner is to those who own tactless, intact male Berners?  Win
that Berner and slap a nice big pink ribbon on her -- then watch as your
big male approaches her -- (I own a Costco Berner).  This stuffed Berner
is matchless at ignoring your male.

He will flip her ears. When no reaction is forthcoming, your male will face
her and eye her with confusion.  Back to nuzzling and flipping ears. Nope.
No reaction.

Your male will become more tender ... more ardent ... until that ear is (you
may trust me on this) sopping wet.  Still no reaction.

Your male will whine.  No reaction.

Bark. No reaction.

He will sniff her nether region and give you, his owner, a very confused but
hilarious expression.

You can practice  LEAVE IT with that female.

You can practice NO SNIFF with that female.

She will be worth her weight in gold.

trust me.

Hi all

Yes she will be worth her weight in gold. Might I suggest the name
Goldie? When we got our Costco berner, Bacchus went through the exact same
things..licking ears, smelling nether regions [or will the new PC name
be neither regions] rolled her over and gernerally fell in love. And this
is a boy with a real live berner girl living here. He still protects her
from Ari. Not in a mean way.just in a that's my baby and not yours
kinda way.

Trust me.a Costco berner in the home is worth HER weight in gold.

Love from Cathi, Bacchus and
Ari [her favorite is the little pup they sold at Big Lots that sings and
they called it puppy love]
Massillon, Oh

Hi Pat,

We do have a LOT of lovely Berner items for our Fundraiser for 
Berner-Garde.   Yes, that clock is not only one of a kind, but it was 
lovingly carried back from the Swiss Berner meeting last year especially 
for this event!!

I will accept all ideas for names for the Costco Berner.Who knows which 
name Nick and Ben will choose, but you can be sure that they will have food 
on their minds!!   Use your imagination - it will be fun to see what kind 
of names we get and who the winner will be.

And, yes, Willem's paintings are always a BIG HIT!!

I hope that you all will go to the web site to see the 97 items we have - 
you will have trouble trying to figure out how to spend your free tickets 
that you get with your Berner Name entries.   For complete instructions on 
how to support Berner-Garde and have some fun doing it, go to: 
http://www.overthefence.com/helpberners/bg/

I can't wait for the entries to start to come in.

Ha Maria,
What kind of dudley studley do you have, my Pluto at ten weeks old was
quite capable of seducing his Costco princess and was often to be found
humping her with great enthusiasm, with his front paws locked around her
neck he couldn't quite reach her ample butt however the desire was there:-)
I'm pleased to say that his practice time has paid dividends as he now is a
most accomplished Studly Dog:-)))
