Moby is now 7 years old. When he was a pup I was working full time and was up at 5:00 am which meant breakfast for Moby. He never did catch onto the weekend / sleep in idea. Lately he has moved his internal clock (tummy?) an hour earlier and starts the low woofs around 4:00 am which if not acted...

Our 5 year old Newf over the past few weeks has decided that breakfast should be served early. The 1st woofs start anywhere from 3:50 am to 4:15 am. Starts with a single woof and then adds woofs with increasing frequency & volume. Nothing has changed in his routine and we went through the time...

Our 1st grandchild Benjamin arrived just over 3 weeks ago and our daughter & Benjamin flew in from northern Alberta on Sunday. Moby has been curious about the new addition at the house and has dropped a few toys in Benjamin's direction. Today he got the chance to take a little closer look. I...

We have run into problems with Moby. A few months ago he started to ‘favor’ his left rear leg occasionally. As it was near his annual visit we brought this to the Vet’s attention at that time. Consensus was to try anti-inflammatory drug for 3 weeks, mild pain killers for a few days and limited...

Another afternoon with Moby sleeping on the kitchen floor. How does he turn his body 180 degrees with the back end pointing one direction and the front the other way? My chiropractor would love it if I tried. Rob & Moby
