Dear List,
Things are going along pretty well just now. I really think that Stevie will
improve once all this dreadful, hazardous ice has left us. Stevie is still
not great on anything but flat surfaces and the ice is awful. But a guardian
angel is sending us some boots to assist Stevie's traction

Well it is now Sunday evening and we have been through yet another rough

I am a very novice Berner parent so my note will be not nearly as
informative as others. The only advice that I can give you is to listen

Well we made our way to the vet today. Stevie has had kind of a rough couple

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOLLY!!
I just had to drop you a quick note and let you know that Stevie and I hope

I think Rhona's idea is a grand one! But since we are both relatively "new"

Dear List,
It is with great regret that I have to say good-bye to the list.
Unfortunately, the computers that I have been using belong to an

Stevie continues to progress, slowly, but I see a difference in his appetite

I have a question about lap sitting. My big Berner Boy, Stevie, who by the

is a lap dog! Stevie weighs approx 105 pounds and whenever anyone that he
cares about sits down in a comfortable chair he automaticall

January 1, 2002. He was a bit under the weather yesterday (had several bouts
of diarrhea and just not all entirely well) I had given him a new bone on
New Years Eve and that may have done it, perhaps not enough fat trimmed
off!!
Merry Christmas
I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone on the

Okay this may sound ridiculous but here goes. Would people really pay $3000
U.S. funds for a puppy from a pet shop? Am I the only one who thinks that
this is an outrageous amount of money? Perhaps some one could email me

Hi, Well Stevie has just discovered his "tail" within the last month or so.
He seems to catch it in a side glance and then treats it like it is some
alien life-form. He'll chase and chase and chase, sometimes he'll catch it
and sometimes not. He actually got dizzy this morning and landed head first

I can certainly relate to this as my 11-month old is a very active sock
eater. Clean, dirty, old, new. Stevie has no specific preference. In fact
about a month ago I had to rush him to the vet at 1:30 in the morning as he
was choking on a piece of "sock". All turned out fine but a very quick

Yes I caught the segment on Martha this a.m. What a beautiful site, with all
those big, beautiful Berners all in one place. I must say that I was jealous
that I wasnt there to share in the fun and excitement. How fortunate we are

when he is allowed to roam free at the farm. The owners and I are best of
friends so we are thankfully there alot. I bought my Berner boy from a
breeder who also breeds and raises quarter horses. There is a definite
connection with Berners and horses. I think it is true
