Anytime I click on the breeder's forum, it says there are no new posts. But I can see in the column on the right on the main screen that there are in fact new posts. What could the problem be?

I was taking Uschi into PetSmart and a woman wanted to pet her. She said Uschi was a gorgeous Pyrenees. I politely told her Uschi was a Newfoundland. She says she had a Pyr growing up, they're the best dogs, blah blah blah. I said Pyrs and white and Newfs are black, brown, or black and...

I have a hose and a bathtub, so when it's yucky out, the only bathing option is the tub. Every time I use the tub, it gets clogged, then I have to buy some Draino. I catch as much hair as I can and brush prior, but it's not doing the trick. I have this standard type of drain plug. Any...

This is how I wake up most every morning. The DH has been switched from nights to day crew though... someone's going to be stuck on the couch! Uschi might gracefully give up her spot on the bed for Daddy as she has a few other favorite nap spots. She was drawn to this metal box like a...

Monty's belly is covered in hives. His snout is swollen and itchy. He's going to the vet Friday, but I was hoping more minds might have more ideas. Last time he saw the vet, she said it looked like food allergies and said the next step would be a hypoallergenic diet. I'm totally willing to...

My husband was the photographer, sorry about the quality... you get the idea though :) Uschi saving my friend's boyfriend Towing him in Swimming Maybe she needed resuscitating? Incidentally- how do you get rid of climbing behavior? If you start moving forward just a tad when she gets to...

Uschi is about 50 lbs. now, adores swimming and fetching. My husband's dying to have her start jumping off of a dock to fetch, but I'm hesitant. When would you start? I'd like to let her experience jumping off of something into water while she's little, so she doesn't have any hang ups when...

I would like a rolled leather collar for Walter, my rough coated Saint. I had this one for about a year and a half, but the rivets (hidden in the picture) gave way and the collar is shot. The flat buckle part also managed to contribute to some dewlap matting. My friend has one of these and...

The Daily Puppy is an email newsletter that sends out pictures of puppies! Brilliant, right? http://www.dailypuppy.com/puppies/emma-the-newfoundland_2010-09-17 When I saw today's picture in my email, I thought "that puppy looks familiar..." and sure enough, she's one of our own! Congrats on...

I looked for the Noz to Noz soft crate, and it looks like the 48" was discontinued, but I found this one instead. GoGo Pet Soft Crate It's really light, looks great, very easy to set up. It literally takes two seconds. I bought one initially just to see if I'd like it and I'm going to order...

I thought it'd be nice to get a fabric crate for trials since the wire ones are so heavy, but the only one I found that's 48" is the Midwest k9 Camper. The reviews said it was just as heavy as the wire one and not very durable. Anyone have any other suggestions? Or should I just stick with...

Uschi was in her crate and Walter followed her, so she gave him kisses LOVE this pic! Disapproving kitty cat
