OK, I know this might be a longshot, but who better to ask? :) A co-worker has a friend who is serving on an Army base in Afghanistan. While it is against policy to have "pets" on base, there are numerous friendly feral cats that the soldiers have been secretly feeding. My co-worker's friend...

I am unemployed, otherwise I would be looking into getting this girl. She looks beautiful! http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/pet/1802630092.html

OK, so I'm feeling like a really horrible dog mom right now. I really thought I was making the right decision by not putting tick/flea meds on my Newf (Exelby) & Newf-mix (Snyder). I really don't like the idea of all the chemicals going on their skin and into their bloodstreams. We haven't used...

So the husband & I are hitting the road this weekend with our two 100 lb+ dogs. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find a hotel that actually took more than 1 dog per room and allowed dogs over 25 lbs! We have travelled with them before, but stayed at my brother's house. Any suggestions for...

So the hubby and I have been thinking of adding a feline to the family. We curently have two rescued "pups": a 7-yr-old newf-mix and a 3-yr-old newf. Both have had minimal exposure to cats, mostly just when we bring them along Christmas Day when we spend the day at my in-laws. We are not...

Any suggestions of anything I can do to help with static cling on my dogs' fur? Just petting them causes static shocks. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to put a humidifier on the furnace and due to allergy issues, the small, portable kinds are out of the question. I've put a little hand...

Yesterday we said goodbye to our great dane/husky-mix, Benni. On August 20 she was diagnosed with high grade lymphoma. We are so thankful we were able to have almost 7 additional weeks with her. Unfortunately, this past weekend she started to really go downhill and we believe the cancer had...

Our "middle child" Benni (Great Dane/Husky mix we think) was diagnosed with lymphoma today. She's a little over 5-1/2 years old, and has been the "big sis" to our rescue Newf, Exelby. Ex came to us 2 years ago at 6 months old, from a backyard breeder, very skittish, neglected, malnourished, etc...

So... Friday, June 20 is Take Your Dog to Work Day. Anyone here get to take their newf to work? I was shocked when I asked my boss if I could bring one of my three dogs in, and he said Yes!!! I plan to bring my newf-mix who is so laid back. My husband plans to bring the other two in at some...

testing...

I would love to see pictures if you have a grey newf. I have been told that my 18-month-old is a grey newf, but I think he is more salt-n-pepper. :) I don't have a fototime account, so I can't post pictures, but would be willing to send you one off of the list. thanks, cathy

Hey, All: I am about at my wits end with my "little boy" Exelby and could really, really use some advice & suggestions. I just don't know what to do about his tendency to shred! Here's some background... he is a rescue (he had a very rough first 6 months of life), is about 18 months old...

Does anyone here use one of these to make chicken, beef or salmon jerky for their Newf? With all scare re: products coming out of China, and most of the chicken jerky seeming to come from there, I have considered starting to make some of my own. If you have a dehydrator, do you like it? What...
