Lance flew down the stairs as if he were on a sled. I came home from work and he was all the way on the top floor laying down with my son. I could hear him tearing down the two flights of stairs to greet me. He was at the top of the stairs in front of me before I even got the door closed and...

Forgive me if this is a little TMI for some... So I was at the dog park with Luna and Lance. They were running and playing with a fresh skip in their step. The colder weather brings out a real pep in them. Lance made a new friend...a beagle. They start running around and playing and then the...

I knew that Luna couldn't eat chicken but I thought maybe she could have a little turkey...seeing as it was thanksgiving and all. I gave her her regular food and put in a few pieces of carrots, some brocolli, some squash (which she loves) and the tiniest sliver of turkey. When I woke up this...

So we were having a relaxing evening. Luna and Lance had finished their long evening walks. Luna sleeping away in her crate and The Boy and I were watching The Daily Show while Lance wandered around chewing a toy, sticking his tongue in the fan (for fun) and performing general Lance shenanigans...

I'm thinking of getting Lance DNA tested. Purely out of curiousity. Is he even a Newfie mix? Who knows? Has anyone here had their dogs DNA tested and how accurate did you find the results. Possible dogs I could see in Lance's Makeup; Newfoundland Border Collie Rottweiler Doberman and English...

For those of you that are following Lance's monkey shines...here is the latest scoop. For Lance's pulling issues I went out and bought him an Easy Walk Harness. My son protested it more than Lance did. After training the boy how to walk him properly using it and how to put it on properly it's...

Lance and my son were having some quality time together last night. It was too cute so I had to get out the camera. There were a lot of pics I posted recently from Lance's post op, where he looks really stoned cause well he was really stoned. Here you can see he's healing up nicely, back to his...

As I type this Lance is getting the deed done. I'm mildly nervous but mainly excited about this. He's so ADHD that I'm hoping this makes him easier to train. Maybe his anxiety issues will be easier to deal with as well. Here's hoping. I know this isn't the magic cure. Hard work and training...

Sparky...Lance did not like Sparky Lance and Luna meeting Norm Sam, Lance and Luna Luna Luna's rear...the puppy liked it To be cont'd...

I enjoyed NewfStock...I am glad I went. But at the same time I feel it's set Lance's separation anxiety progress back to square one. First of all camping...nightmare!!! He tore a whole through the tent to be with me!!!! As we were setting up the tent. There was no crate so I couldn't work on...

I'm gonna be staying at the Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp and I'm curious who else is gonna be staying there? Thought it might be fun to get together for visits in between events :D

So the first week Lance barely made any noise while we were gone at all. We're ignoring his bad behaviour and rewarding him when he's calm. I leave a radio on for him while we're gone and give him toys to chew on. We are gone from 8:45 to 11:45 and 1:45 to 3:00. He gets a nice walk and company...

Sometimes, not all the time, when people stop to talk to me on the street Luna and Lance will bark at them. Mostly Luna with Lance sometimes playing along. Sometimes I can tell that Luna is barking at them to say "Hello...pet me" and sometimes it's to say "I don't know you, don't you dare mess...

I took my two knuckleheads to the park as usual and things were going good. Running, playing, catch, retrieving, etc. There were two unneutered males in the park, Lance and a beautiful German Shepherd, neither of them sexually mature or dominant. They were both getting along with eachother...

Okay so Lance is 9 months old. He was NEVER crate trained before. I attempted crating him when I first got him and he just barked the whole time. So I've left him free while we're gone. Since we've got him we've barely ever left him alone. Every single time he's alone he counter surfs, climb the...
