I can't believe Mollie will be 12 years in March! Mollie still has her childish Berner ways. Now that I can catch her, she is often off leash and occasionally wanders to a neighbor for treats, refusing to come home. When she has difficulty getting up the stairs at bedtime, Mollie turns a couple of circles to get a start or on very bad days, knows her limitations and waits for help. She certainly is still a character!

Gus is still active and gives Gabe, his younger buddy, the “business” when the youngster steps out of line. Gus is the senior dog on our street and all of the neighbors and their kids know Gus-Gus! What a super addition to our family he has been, and now has 4 round trips behind him to Venice, Florida and back! He still comes upstairs every night and sleeps next to our bed.

Celebrating our senior Chloe! Chloe’s dam was Stonybrook’s She Wore Blue Velvet AOD 11.6 and her grand dam was Deerpark Lily’s Two -Step AOD 12.6. Plus many more long lived dogs in her pedigree . I have two of Chloe’s offspring. CH Stonybrook’s Eye of The Hurricane CGC , living 9 yrs. And Stonybrook’s Lil’ Firecracker CGC, living 8 yrs. Such a blessing.

Heidi will be 12 in March. She is everything we wanted when getting a BMD. Kind, gentle, patient with little children to grown adults and everything else that makes a good dog great Cheers to our sweet girl

Belle, in addition to being a Top 20 Producer of Champions, was the most loving girl and it hurt terribly when we had to let her cross over the Rainbow Bridge. She was our heart dog, even though we only has her for a short period of time

So blessed to have another year full of adventure's with Barbie, she is my heart dog always happy and ready to go. This year we competed at BMDCA Nationals, enjoyed Nose work and traveled to Wyoming. Thank you Stacy Temples for my one of a kind girl.

Ringer is my happy go lucky boy at 11.5 years. He wakes me up with a big hug, lets me know when there is a noise outside and is everything I could want in a dog. Sadly, we lost one more of his siblings in the summer but he has two still living well.

Beyla was treasured by her family and lived life to the fullest!

Much loved Hickory’s Man of Mystery, aka, Watson, crossed the rainbow bridge two weeks short of his 11th birthday. He never met a human he didn’t love and actively sought pets from all of his human friends. He has left a huge hole in our hearts.

Blush was the most wonderful girl to live with. Not one minutes bother from the minute she was born until she took her last breath. We had such a fab time in the show ring together and an absolute blast at home. She always made me smile every day and still does, even though its through tears now.

Dancer is my special girl and I am her support human. Just because we don't compete in obedience anymore doesn't mean she doesn't like to go after the dumbbell. She is always very proud of herself doing any obedience exercise and wears a smile to let the world know. Dancer is the first Berner I've had to hit the 11 year mark. I'm thankful for every day we get to share.

Mozzie lives every day to the fullest. He’s smart, funny and still a ladies man although he’s been fixed for many years. He’s brought light and love into our home from the day he arrived at the age of 5. He’s now 11+ years young, has us trained very well and is living the good life. Every day is a blessing with this sweet boy. Love Michelle and Steve
