Today is Henry's birthday. Can't believe he's six years old already. We are heading out to take a nice long walk along some trails. Here's a slideshow I put together for Henry. 4u4mxTyyGno

Finally put together a video from several videos taken by Alex's friend and some pictures taken by a spectator of Truman's first water test at Pymatuning State Park in Pennsylvania hosted by Penn Ohio Newfoundland Club. Truman is 17 months old and very enthused about water work. We're having...

We filled the pool last week-end. Then there's the task of getting the winter cover off, cleaning out the pool and adding the opening chemicials. Truman has been sitting by the gate, staring wistfully at the pool. Today I checked the water chemistry and everything was balanced so I let the...

Truman turned one year old today. This past year has been so joyful having him with us. Here is a slideshow I put together in honor of his birthday. I'm also celebrating one year of being smoke free. I quit smoking the day he was born. 3ZMx5NsGRfc

Glory turns 10 years old today. Can't believe she is a double digit!!! Glory is a little slower to get up but still loves to chill on the couch, bark at the UPS and Fed Ex persons and boss her two little brothers around. She's a very special girl and has taught me so much! Here's a link to a...

We finally had our first snow dusting last week so I quickly took advantage of the photo op and got the fur kids outside with their holiday garb for the proverbial Christmas card. I have no idea what was in Henry's mind for that silly expression and Truman would not keep his Christmas collar on...

Every year our club participates in the Grand Rapids Christmas parade. One of our club members who is a very talented photographer took these pictures. Here is Henry ready to greet the kids! He loves these parades. We didn't do a cart because we had three pups with us. Glory and Truman...

I took this video two months ago. I can't believe how gentle Henry has been with Truman. Also can't believe how much Truman has grown in a couple of months. I will have to post some updated pictures. oZZTdN2bzqk

Ok here's what we came up with for our balance trick. This platform is a great way to teach body awareness to your newfs and it's a very easy thing to build. I have different sizes and heights. This size seems to be the most challenging for them. It's really not that big for four feet...

This week's trick has to do with balance. You can use any object you want to achieve this trick. Looking forward to seeing what everybody comes up with!

I am particpating with an on-line group in a fun dog training activity and thought it may be fun to do here on Newf Net. Each week our group is given a household item we must use in a trick with our dog. We use shaping with the dogs for whatever trick we can come up with using that particular...

Henry was invited to visit his puppies. They are 10 weeks old and leaving this week for their new homes. One couple drove from New Hampshire to pick up blue boy and wanted to meet Henry. I wanted to meet them too. Hilda bred Henry's great, great, great great grandfather (Int'l CH Our Bearbrooks...

Henry and I went to NCNC's draft test this week-end where Henry requalified once again for his DD. This is two requals for him. Just one more towards his WA title. We had so much fun and North Central club does such an excellent job of putting on a draft test. The weather was beautiful if not...
