Hello all, Elle has been limping for way too long now. I thought it was another bout of pano, but it has gone on for way too long. The vet wants to XRAY. I am going to make the appt. this week. I am so worried. Just when we have her skin issues under control (only was able to resolve them...

Hey all, well, (haven't been online in awhile....been working like a dog! *L*)I have some news...: We have in our home a six year old, male landseer/newf, named Mario. His previous owners moved to Greece and couldn't take him with them. He was re-homed with a friend of mine who owns a...

Well, I have to come and brag. My baby is now a week over a year old. She is really coming along. We have settled on the gentle-leader/dogmatic (a UK, leather version, a bit more specific fit for her head than the gentle-leader or halti). Well, today I had her off-leash in the store at which...

Hey all, Dogger told me abou the Seattle area newf club walk at Greenwalk. So, Elle, dh, ds and I went today. It was so much fun...the dogs were so beautiful....all sizes. There were three little puppies, about four months old..the others were 8 months plus. I have to say there were other...

Today, Dh, ds and I took elle to the off-leash park near our home. It was the 2nd time she'd ever been. This is the 1st time I actually let her off leash. It was also the 1st time that DH,ds, Elle and I were all together at the park. A couple of friends of ours that our owned by a Leonberger...

Okay,...help..!! I don't know what to do. Are baby, Elle is getting to long for her crate. We have the Midwest Better Buy 1248. The dimensions are 30" W X 48"D x 35"H It isn't the Collossal crate, 54 W x 37 D x 45 H We wouldn't be able to fit that one in our house. So, what should we do...

Hello all, Those of you that have showed interest in the halti/gentle leader options, but are still open to alternatives as they realize nothing is perfect...here is something new. We are ordering it for Elle tomorrow morning. It is exactly like a horse halti...it doesn't ride up to the eyes...

Okay, i need advice! I am owned by a goofy 8 month ol' landseer, Elle. She has real personality, but she ReALLY loves to insitigate trouble. She just wants to play, but of course the older dogs in our house get So irritated with her. They don't hurt her, but they do "wrestle" "pretend-bite"...

Here is a link for new pics of Elle, the newf, Cleo, the Saint,and Jas, the Dane, together for the first time. They are quite a trio! Ellesmom http://groups.msn.com/ellenewf/011903.msnw?albumlist=2

Here are my sweethearts. Elle is my six month old newf pup. Oh, how she is beautiful. Even though I love Cleo, I have to say nothing can top my feelings for my Elle. She definitely looks to me as her "mummy!" *L* Cleo, is the Saint we rescued two weeks ago. She has since lost over 8lbs and...

Hey all, Well, My dh and I went to the Puyallup Canine Faire last week south of Puget sound in Wa state. We ran into the Saint rescue booth there and low and behold Elle found an older dog with whom she "clicked." It was a five year old Saint that had been given up by its owner, becuase they...

Well, my dear Elora, "Elle," is 5 months old today. It just hit me. I cant believe we have had her for ten weeks already. She is growing so much. She still is quite thin. She weighs about 48 lbs, and that is off of 4 1/2 to six cups of fish/sweet potato Wellness a day. I add about a...

Hey all, I have been wanting to test the kibble I am using with Elle for digestability and swell vs. some kibble packets I recvd. from various pet health/food stores in the area. I soaked them all for 35 mints. I soaked all the dry brands of solid gold, sensible choice's large/giant breed puppy...

Here are the pics as promised. Our friend with the digi camera came by tonight. So, we went picture happy. Elle is 12 weeks old today and weighs about 23 lbs. It is funny we had our heart set on a black newf as that is what I preferred. But, her personality stole our heart...

Hello, Just a quick check in! Everything is going pretty well with Elle. She has had some accidents here and there, but mostly when someone isn't paying attention to her signals. I am quickly posting, as I have a five year old that is crying, two cats to watch over and a new puppy! *L* The...
