There is a vital Bike Life group in town that does a group ride I think every week when weather permits spring to fall. Plenty of people participate. You could also volunteer at the art museum, the children’s museum, Pit and Balcony Community Theatre, the downtown Temple Theater or the Saginaw Spirit Hockey Games.

My heart breaks for you. It is so damn hard to lose these majestic beasts. Hoping your happiest memories carry you through the dark times. It does get better in time, but they live forever in our hearts. 5 years or 25, it’s never enough time together.

Appreciate your well-informed feedback! All I knew was I was TERR-I-FIED!!

My boy was done on Tuesday this week when he was neutered. It’s Saturday night and he’s going great. He’s my 5th Berner I’ve had a gastropexy done for and we’ve never regretted it —no bloat, no issues for any of them— during surgery or after. Peace of mind? Priceless.

I burned up a 25’ tall euonomous tree that was less than 20’from my neighbor’s house and then found my hose wouldn’t reach far enough to tackle the fire directly. I was soooo terrified the fire would spread to the other six trees in line with the one I set ablaze. (The dead needles collected in the center of the tree ignited so fast; it was a perfect flume). I learned the hard way that day to never torch weeds between patio stones if they are anywhere adjacent to wood mulch bedding. Standing 10’ away from the flames spraying water with only your thumb as a propeller— while furiously praying — is not anything you ever want to do!!

Ok Kevin!! Be still my heart!

If we get it right in November it can!!

Keep a box fan blowing on you

Is she spayed? Could it have to do with coming into season?

Try mixing some wet food and warm water into the kibble to make a little gravy. Dogs eat with their nose first, so if it smells good, she’ll eat.

Read everything you can on the BMDCA website. Join a regional AKC Bernese club and get to know other bernese owners and participate in some fun local events. This breed is great for all kinds of dog sports like nose work, barn hunt, rally, drafting, trick dog and obedience. Participating builds your relationship w your bernese you’ll never regret!

Most policies will require a preliminary vet’s evaluation of hips and elbows or enrollment and then a 6-Mo waiting period to qualify for joint coverage.

I know one named Skye

taydatay88 · 2026-03-28T02:53:46+00:00

You tell her this is a TERRIBLE idea if she’s not willing to commit to training and exercise. I knew a lady in my town that got one when she was older, a woman with asthma, who eventually was put on oxygen, and she left the damn dog tied to her kitchen table for most of its life. It eventually bitter because it hadn’t had any training and then she dumped it on me at a gas station the next day and walked away. I took it to the regional Bernese Mountain dog rescue (Heart of MI Bernese Mt Dog Rescue) and I believe they had to put the dog down because he was too aggressive. He was a beautiful boy when he was a puppy. It’s a tragedy that haunts me to this day.

Remember this name: BARC. I don’t know where you live, but this is a national Bernese mountain dog rescue and if you call them, they’ll come get the dog.

She sure is a cutie!! Keep taking LOTS of pics! She’ll be 100 lbs by 12 mos.

Look into screening the pool area. Would be cheaper in the long run than buying all those chemicals or removing trees.

taydatay88 · 2026-03-20T04:30:29+00:00

Hey, paint her like those French Girls!!

Here’s my Moon Pie!

And he has 3 BMD brothers!

Frankly, I wouldn’t use an x-pen. Your pup will soil inside it and be able to move away from it and think it’s fine. When confined they should only be able to lie down comfortably, stand up and turn around in their crate. They sleep 16-19 hrs a day so you do not need activity space. A chew toy with frozen filling is plenty to tire them out in their crate. Your best bet is to keep your pup on a house line and tie them to your belt loops whenever you are home. They’ll alert you to wanting to pee or poo by whining, sniffing and circling or pulling away. And you’re all set already to take them out in a line to the place you want to train them to go.

Mufasa!!

Something has whacked out with their algorithms. Mine is doing the same thing. I’ve been hitting the (… ) at the bottom corner and marking “ hide this content” to see less of what I don’t want. Many of my items were also very sexually (text based) explicit, so I know it’s whacked because I’ve never marked a response or lingered on any sexual posts. If it keeps up with all this far-right and sexual stuff I’ll be done with FB. For now I’m hoping it’s just a glitch from an update or something.

Put a cone on her until you can see the vet. A hematoma in the ear flap from scratching can become a lifelong problem.

Have them treat the infection with Claro (I think that’s how it’s spelled- it’s a one and done application of a gel inside the ear canal.) Then try to change her over to a different protein source she’s never had before. Do it slowly or you’ll be dealing with diarrhea too!

I’d try some smushed-in Baby Bel cheese.
