Big Paws Only Dog Forums

I'm actually in Pa. but we get all the leftover remnants from the hurricanes, heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning.  Zoe's favorite spot is under the computer desk, its her safe spot.  The picture of Bava is soooo adorable!  I love when they sleep on their backs like that.  Zoe sleeps like that in bed with me.  Of course her heads at the other end and I usually have a big paw in my face.  I look over and she is spread eagle to the world, she has no shame.  I keep wanting to take the camera up to bed with me so I can take a picture of her, tongue hanging out, smiling and having her puppy dreams just as happy as she can be.  She is a serious bed hog but I don't know what I'd do without her.  Of course I could do without inhaling hair all night.  But I do recommend the Rescue Remedy it is so much better than having to drug her out completely.

Hi all,
 
       Sent for rescue remedy will let you know how it works.  Thank you all for your suggestions.  Got perscription from vet for fourth of july but don't want to knock her out every thunderstorm so I hope this works.  Thanks again.

Hi all I am hoping someone can help me, I am desperate.  I have a Berner that is two and has become so afraid of thunderstorms, which we are having an over abundence of right now.  She pants and shakes and is inconsolable.  I have tried as vet suggested to find her a safe place, held her and everything else I can think of.  She will go out and lay in the rain if it is a plain rain shower but god help us if it it thundering.  She also hates fireworks.  Any imput you have will be greatly appreciated.  It is especially hard at night when she is roaming around the bed as she is a little hard to ignore at 100 pounds!

They are wonderful loving dogs and I highly recommend one.  Zoe loves other dogs and is very good with children.  She does however think shes a lap dog.  With any large breed there are health risk, but a reputable breeder will supply you with all health histories of both parents.  They are doing allot to weed out genetic problems and increase longevity.  In my opinion you can not go wrong in having a Berner become part of your family!
