Kildeskennel, I never heard of clocking your working time to be a therapy dog.  Maybe different areas have different rules or are run by different organizations.  Maybe they are state laws? I have not been told of any other requirements here before the test and I am sure they would have told me.  We are excited and I will be sure to post photos when we get back.  Thanks for all your support.

I think kids and all people would love Bear, he is very personable and a big, big hit.  I can't wait now to get the chapter rolling.  Niki puts on a great show too and always draws a crowd.  And then with Angus and Cody coming round the bend hmmmm the possibilities are endless.

Wow great shots, great looking boys.  Where in the world do you live where you get those black ugly, soggy bogs? Oh Brother Where Art Thou is truly one of my favorite of all time movies.  I still play the soundtrack even on my computer over and over.  Thanks for sharing

Thanks DakotaMOM I really like the looks of that new collar compared to the horrible cone that knocks everybody senseless including the dog.  That is a good invention and I will bet we see more of it if it works.

Wow, I sat down tonight and thought about your problem a little bit and it reminds me of a rescue I had several years ago. She was a big, lanky yellow lab who came to me and just refused to eat anything I put in front of her.  She was very skinny and her ribs were even showing.  I talked to the vet and he told me not to fret that if she got hungry enough, she would eat.  She even had red ears like your dog but that turned out to be mites and after a lot of medication, we got it under control.  Anyway, the vet was right, after a long period of time, she finally came around and started eating better.  You say your dog likes people food and that indicates he is healthy, just being picky and stubborn. I have found that they do this too if there is drama in their lives or perhaps a big change.  (aren't we the same as humans)  I cannot believe that any dog is stupid enough to starve himself to death.  That is a ridiculous thing for anybody to tell you. I thought the same thing about the rescue I had but the vet was right. My  rescue dog was not very intelligent but loving and she ended up belonging to some teenagers who love her to death and let her sleep in bed with her every night.  It took a lot of patience but it paid off.  You will probably find the same thing out, just chill out like I learned to.  Sometimes it takes time. 

Welcome.  Rocky sounds great, can't wait to see more.

So glad you got help for Zoe.  I love all the berny photos.  I am still looking for a new dog after my 18 yr. old died and I love a berny or a berny mix, however, I read that they do not adapt to heat very well.  We live in a desert type climate and our summers are hot!!! Do they adapt to that or not?
