    Deleted my Facebook and lost my Newfie groups

    :cry: I just deleted my Facebook page over the privacy or lack of privacy concerns. Doing so, lost all my access to Newfie pictures and Newfie owners. I am hoping this group can fulfill my need to see pictures of these gentle giants and continue to learn about them. I have two Calvin and...

    vaccums

    I know I know, this net has talked about this more than once but can we review please :blush: I talked to GAD and he said they have just come to the conclusion they are going to buy a vacuum every two years. I am asking all the experts on this forum, what do you suggest is a good vacuum even...

    Bad Newf Weather

    This summer was so unusually hot in Wisconsin. Calvin and Hobbes wanted to live in the bedroom where the air conditioner was. We had large box fans blowing on them in the mud room where it was cooler but no matter what was going on the instant they came in the house they would run upstairs and...

    equipment questions

    We have a sail boat and like to take the boys on the docks. They are a hit with everyone. Wondering where I get life preservers and I have seen a stairway allowing dogs to come out of deep water. Can anyone direct me where to look for these? I know they are water rescue but we are on the end...

    Problems with feeding time.

    Calvin and Hobbes are full bred brothers. They have slept together and ate together their whole life. Now all of sudden Hobbes is getting very food aggressive. We have tried feeding them in different areas like Hobbes in the mud room kennel and Calvin outside of it. The aggression will continue...

    Reading Newf Net

    I am so uplifted when reading Newf Net. I just got done reading about River and was so impressed by how much love and well wishes were shared. I love reading the stories. I too have to laugh when the funny stories are shared. It makes so very proud to own Newfies because those that say they...

    Love the dog park!!

    Took Calvin and Hobbes to the dog park for the first time on Saturday. Boy. Did they have fun. There was a good size rain puddle and they played, ran around, and. Made freinds. We then had thunder storms Saturday night and Sunday off and on. They are both afraid of storms. They are exhausted...

    Newfy get together in WI

    Went to Point Beach and saw where dogs can play on the beach! I think it would be wise to plan the get together in July or August. I am thinking of just a gathering, nothing schedule or fancy. Bring your own supper and hang out with other newfie owners to share.:coffeedrink:

    Most unlikely vaccums

    I know a lot of you are going to think I am nuts but I love my Swifter Vaccuum for newfie hair. Granted you have to change the holder a couple of times but it picks it up if not in the vaccum in the dusting rag on the bottom. It is better than my home vacumms. I can't spell vacum can you...

    Pineapple

    Just a quick question. Many people suggested pineapple for my embarrassing habit of newfies eating poop. How much do you give them? Everyday?:confused:

    Kennel Cough

    We are taking Calvin and Hobbes in today for Kennel Cough. They have had the bordella shot so I don't understand why they picked it up. They say it is running rampant up here right now. Dogs are getting from attending the dog parks.:mad:
