Newfer buds,

This came through on my Berner List today. With both Newfs or Berners, I love how this made me laugh. Too many nights I've been awakened by heaving that would have been totally ignored had it been coming from my beloved husband next to me.....but get my big boy started, and I'm 'all over it.' This is a 12 year old posting, but you're sure to get a smile....sorry I can't credit the author, but the Berner list said it came from the Boxer list....

ate: Tue Jul 28, 2009 4:12 pm ((PDT)) This is one of the older emails from the List, a true classic: Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1996 22:23:39 -0700okay, here it is , the long awaited article onTHE FOUR TYPES OF DOG VOMIT! YELLOW URKA-GURKAS--Dog runs around the house and hides under furniturewhile making a prolonged 'uuuurka-guuurka, uuurka-guuurka' noise. ( thisnoise is the only thing guaranteed to wake up a true dog lover who is hungover from a post dog show celebration at 3:30 am ) After madscrambling to capture the dog and drag him outside the episode endswith an indelible ten yard line of slimy yellow froth from the living rug to back door. BLAP DISEASE--Dog exercises hard and a. eats large mouthfuls of snow(Winter Blap Disease) or b. drinks a bucket of water (Summer Blap Disease)Within 2 minutes of returning inside the dog spews out large amountsof clear slimy liquid while making a distinctive 'blap' sound and sharppercussive noise as it hits the linoleum. GARKS--Dog suddenly clears his throat with loud and dramatic 'gggaark,gggark,' noises, generally followed by prolonged 'iiikssss' and then loudsatisfied smacking noises. There is nothing on the rug. Don't investigate, you don't want to know. RALFS-- Appropos of nothing, the dog strolls into the dining room andwaits til the innocent dinner guests are all watching him. Then with a single deep gut-wrenching 'raaaalfff' disgorges the entire week's contents of his stomach on the dining room rug. VARIATION: then he eats it. In all the above events, the dog is entirely healthy and indeed deeplypleased with himself. who only wrote this in the interests of scientific knowlege and for thebetter understanding of the Bernese Mountain Dog. :new_popcornsmiley:

Exactly. Or calling the vet and saying..."Ok, looks like there's chunks...it's a little on the purple side..."

OK... story time.

Way back in '86 or so I had to leave California in a hurry and got a friend of mine to help me pack our stuff in a U-Haul to drive to Maine. I flew the wife and kids on ahead and me and my buddy packed all the stuff into a truck, attached a towing hitch and towed the Volvo wagon behind. The back of the volvo was open and we put the car on the hitch with the front to the rear.

I put some nice padding and blankets in the back of the Volvo and it made a great bed for Sooty, my first Newf. We drove, and drove and drove until we were all trashed...

I think it was somewhere in Iowa when we realized that we were both too tired to continue any further. We stopped at a gas station and I bought some food and drinks. I saw one of those hot dog cookers and bought a couple of hotdogs for Sooty. She gobbled them up, my friend sacked out in the cab of the truck and I sacked out in the back of the Volvo with Sooty.

It was somewhere around Oh-dark-thirty when I woke up to a rooster crowing and felt this wet spot on my pants leg. Half asleep I was feeling around wondering just what the hell this wetness was when it dawned on me where I was... then the smell hit me.

I extricated myself from the back of the wagon and much to my dismay, discovered that Sooty had vomited up the hot dogs all over me during the "night." Ugh...

My first Newf-Love
