I'm sorry this is so big, but I'm not on my own computer and can't do much for editing. Anyway, I got Ada this doggie Rush tshirt (as we are all Rush fans in my family), but, sadly, it was WAY too small for her. On other hand, this gave me an idea. I think NNers should petition Rush to put...

This is so cute! And funny! Pictures of dogs acting out various http status protocols. http://httpstatusdogs.com/

Taking Ada on a walk today, and someone pulled over, got out of their vehicle and just HAD to come and see her. Apparently it was a woman who had a golden that passed recently and is considering getting a newf. She mentioned she had a smaller kid, and so I did suggest maybe an older, calmer...

Alright, I need to know if I'm overreacting here or not. :crazy: I took this video of Ada over the weekend because I think it's really cute when she plays with the neighbor dog through the fence. She gets so bouncy and happy. As I was watching the video, it looked to me like, sometimes, she...

Miss Ada has been learning how to behave herself! I've been wanting to let her out of her kennel so she can sleep in our room in the evenings. Of course, I've been wanting to let her come in our room without disaster striking. The past few days, we've been letting her in the room for short...

Ada needed a bath yesterday...especially after we gave her a rawhide: This is her post-bath...playing fetch...kind of. I had to give up at the end because I needed two hands... A7RRch0SP7Y

I don't know what happened, but I'm guessing it's hormones. It looks like Miss Ada started her first heat cycle. Just found a bunch of little blood splatters on the floor. At the same time, I just noticed that she got a massive case of puppy warts inside her mouth. Is it normal for these to...

When Ada is really happy with our scritching, she will flop down on her head and leave her butt in the air. (We call it a butt inversion...) Is this a newf thing? She looks totally ridiculous, and there've been times she's done it in a corner and can't get her butt to lay down. Here's a...

Hi, all. I have a question. Ada will be nine months next week, and a couple weeks later, there is going to be a skijoring clinic in the Cities. I know she's not old enough to do any pulling, but I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to go (perhaps without her?) to see what goes on. Or...

I've mentioned a couple times how Ada likes to lay on the cat that will let her get near. She stands over him, and if he tries to leave, she sort of flops down on him. Then she licks him or rests her head on him unless he tries to leave...then she sort of tries to chomp on him to keep him from...

Okay...brought Ada to the groomers, and they said she has infections in both ears. I know she gets a lot of gunk in her ears, but the insides of her ears look pink, not red. She lets me pull up on her ear, but of course shakes her head if I stick my fingers in there. Would she be running a...

What do you guys do when you have a pup you can't trust in the house but have to be gone for a while? When I'm at work, Ada is normally kenneled and I come from work for lunch and let her out. However, I'm going to wedding in the evening and may be gone for several hours. This is also the...

I was complaining the other day about Ada being a brat since getting back from camping...but thinking about it, she was kind of being that way before. She's 8 mos. now. Could I be seeing some teenager behavior here? She'd been getting very good about not cruising the kitchen counters and...

We went to the north shore of Lake Superior tis weekend, and took Ada camping for the first time. Before we went, I had to get a bunch of supplies and came across the Halloween costumes at Target. Naturally, I had to get one for Ada: We have a 'camping tent'. I wish I hadn't been...

We went camping this weekend, and Ada did a great time. I wish we wouldn't have had to tie her most of the time, but she did great. She decided that Lake Superior was way too cold to get into, but it did make for good drinking water. She got to go on lots of walks. But then we came home, and...
