Happy Birthday Mom!

The first most important thing to say in this morning's blog is.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! 
In other news. We have had some difficulties with Nelson's bite. He is incredibly strong, and though he doesn't mean to bite me hard, he does and looks at me as a toy. I am in a Berner group on facebook and some very nice people have sent me messages giving me advice. This morning I began to work with Nelson on some of the suggestions, and as of now, it does seem to be stopping him even if only slightly.. if nothing more, it gives me hope that other people who owned Berners had the same biting problem as us :)
Nelson got a little bug yesterday and was vomiting and all the other good (gross) stuff that goes with it. Once he felt better we went to The Barkery, an organic and Natural animal food store, and upon the suggestion of Stacy (thanks!) and Lori (thanks!) we picked up Nelson some new food and new treats. We got Canidae food and treats. Let me tell you, he is in LOVE. He adores this new food, and I adore that he loves something so good for him!
Hopefully everyone has a great weekend, and we'll write more as events occur. 
With love, Ellen & Nelson
