When we first got Riley, we joined the local Bernese Mountain Dog club in our area (www.BMDCNV.org). With a nominal annual membership fee, not only are we informed of several fun gatherings a year for Berners and their people but we received a wealth of educational information regarding health issues, training tips, and of course, access to a network of other Berner people. Membership to the club includes monthly newletters filled with irresistable merchandise, birthday announcements, title brags, upcoming events, and personal letters. Membership also allows you to join the yahoo group and receive daily e-mail from the club members. Topics range from vet recommendations, to brags, to nutrition, and unfortunately, often to sickness. The posts I love to read the most are the ones that devulge how others experience life with their Berner. For example, a recent string of posts were related to the topic of Berners who "counter-surf, " particularly during the holidays. We are lucky that Riley has never learned this clever skill.
The other day, I read a post that I loved. It stuck with me.
A man said to his wife:
"You know how people use the term 'Unconditional love?' Well, Berners have uncontrollable love. They will love you until you can't stand it anymore."
That is how we feel everyday.
