Meet our boyz...

You will have noticed that we have been a long time updating the page. That is because we have had quite an adventure. After Behr's passing, life lost its sparkle and it took some time to get back onto the rails. At first, I did not see chance for ever letting a Bernese into my heart again, but time soon knocked some sense into me and I realised that the reason God gave me such a big heart, was to accomodate the Berner family I need to love and nurture! I also knew I had to get a friend for Levi. He has been unbearably lonely! So, I knew exactly what I had to do. Karla, please help me! It was no time at all and Karla sent the greatest SMS of all time. "Sam, your puppy has been born". January 09 2011 @ lunch time. Wow! It took a long time and some of the world's most wonderful people to get our little Moose here, but we succeeded. I have to thank Dr Caroline Gibbs from the South African department of Agriculture, Dr Laura Lopez from Onderstepoort, Dr Elly Verduijn of the Central Veterinary Institute of Wageningen and Karla's vet, Dr van Dijk, not to forget the staff from Petsentransit. The stars of the adventure are Karla and Bert for helping us and putting up with our daunting excitement. However, my most tremendous respect and admiration rests with Karla's mom, who took over the socialisation and schooling of our Little Feller while we ran around organising the journey.
Our Moose is gorgeous. He has just the right amount of spunk to keep Levi and Tigger on their toes and enough respect to keep himself in HIS place. He has settled in here as we expected and we adore him. As we expected!
