Welcome to
Berni's Diary
We were sent an email from a lovely lady who works
tirelessly saving dogs on death row asking if we could help some of the
Rottweiler's who were in the Pound facing destruction.
Whilst scrolling through the attached photos my eyes kept going back to Berni,
she was an old plump dog who looked like all she wanted from life was a fireside
to lay by, realistically I knew the chances of an other Rescue offering her a
place were slim, everyone chooses the young and fit and there were plenty of
them on the list!
Well off I toddled to meet the arranged transporter on Saturday 6th December and
meet old Berni, imagine my horror to discover that Berni wasn't an old fat dog
as shown in her picture but a young clinically obese dog.
Berni aka "our coffee table" is estimated to be around 3 yrs old!
you could easily be forgiven for assuming she is an old dog as her mobility is
somewhat compromised due to the extra weight she has to carry.
Our Vet's have been absolutely fantastic and are sponsoring Berni's weight loss,
she has a massive 12kg to lose and it will be a long slow journey but inside
that colossal fat body is a young pup waiting to emerge and we are going to have
so much enjoyment watching the real Berni unfold.
Berni's stats as of wed 10th Dec 2008
Weight 52kg
Waist 103cm.
Next weigh in clinic 24th Dec 2008 watch this space!
A huge thank you to St Clair
