More: Bernie is a 13-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd that is filled with love and happiness. His weekends entail rides to the park and beach in his Mommy's convertible with some physical therapy of acupuncture and swimming lessons. Bringing Bernie on vacation is a joy - he's been on ski slopes and gondolas in Vermont and train rides in Lehigh Valley PA, but his favorite is pontoon boats in Lake George NY. Bernie is a cancer survivor who has endured two ACL knee operations and heart disease. Nothing keeps Bernie down and he keeps pushing forward. Every day is a blessing when you're in the company of my Bernie boy.
