Chad & Bernie. St. Paul; March 2004.

Once again, Bernie is featured in the Tahoe Daily Tribune. Oh, it's been about 15 years between press coverages of her, though I did thank people for helping search for her in October in the Pioneer Press' "Sainted and Tainted" section, November 1, 2008:

Sainted

A huge “sainted” to my parents

and all the other wonderful

people in the Pleasant Lake

area of North Oaks who helped

me search for my awesome 15-

year-old Chow mix and best

friend, Bernie, on Oct. 25.

Special thanks to Darcy and

Fred, whose late-night call —

to tell me they’d found my dog

after she was missing 31 hours

— turned a terrible weekend

into the best weekend ever.

Thanks to you all, Bernie is

back home, happy and

healthy.

Here we go with the font issue again. Anyway, click here for the Chad and Bernie article in Monday, February 9's Tahoe Trib. . . . But before you click the hyperlink, roll Eddie Vedder's "Hard Sun" below, from the Into the Wild original motion picture soundtrack (as opposed to the unoriginal motion picture soundtrack . . . whatev) and listen to it while you read the article. I include this song not only because the man has one of the best voices ever, but because this movie is a lot of nice things to me, including a splendid collage of man-nature-animal, and such things always make me think of Bernie, while alive and thereafter. The vid is homemade by someone, I think. Enjoy.
