My apologies for having been somewhat absent for quite some time now. Since I last checked in, we got a little brother for our Sophie and named him "Goose." He's about 7 months now and quite the character! Needless to say, we've been quite busy! Anyway, in 5+ years of being owned by newfs...

Airline preferences? Hi Everyone, I was wondering if people would share their experiences dealing with the various airlines for shipping dogs. I'm sure there have been nightmare stories for all of them, but I'm generally trying to figure out if one stands above the rest. I'll be having a...

Just read this this morning. What an incredibly sad tale. I'm pretty sure I would get arrested for going berserk if put in the same situation. http://beamakesthree.com/2012/09/20/united-airlines-killed-our-golden-retriever-bea/

My apologies if this has been posted already. Just saw it today and think it is hysterical! r-SH5_nmALo&feature=player_detailpage

We'll be attending tomorrow. Any NN'ers planning on being in attendance?

My wife and I were recently invited to a friend’s house for dinner. My wife is friends with the other woman and neither she nor I had ever met the husband. The two women are both self-described “foodies” and the thought behind the dinner was that if everyone got along, perhaps we would...

I thought this was pretty cool so figured I would share. I love tilt-shift films (though certainly don't have any of the gear and wouldn't have the foggiest idea how to do it!). Any tilt-shift newf videographers out there? http://vimeo.com/21864555

Every year around this time we start getting a bit stir crazy to get out of the valley. This year we decided to take a quick trip down to SLC, the closest reasonably-sized city. Any NN'ers out there in or familiar with SLC? Would be interested in any suggestions for dog-friendly places to go...

We're in the very early stages (ie. contemplation phase) of trading in our Subaru Tribeca for something bigger. With two growing kids, one newf, and the potential for another furry kid (maybe!), we feel like it might be time to step up to a larger vehicle. After a preliminary round of...

Our local post office used to keep dog treats behind the counter and we were encouraged to bring Sophie in. Today, we got booted! I guess there was a policy change. I've noticed in numerous threads that people take their dogs into stores I never knew allowed them, like Home Depot and Bass Pro...

I have to say, I just love this forum for product advice! Since joining NN this last summer, I have purchased the following products, none of which are available in my local stores: Petloader - (stairs for getting in/out of the car) Mars Coat King Bass Wood Pin Paddle Hair Brush Katie's...

Curious if anyone has ever tried these? Our Sophie won't chew synthetic stuff so we're always looking for something long lasting that isn't harsh on her digestive system...

Finally pulled out the video camera after a long period of collecting dust. I'm in the market for some video editing software and am trialing CyberLink's PowerDirector 8.0. Seems fairly simple to use...which is what I was looking for...
