I would like to ask for prayers for my Aunt Loretta. She is an amazing woman, one of the best people I know and is like a second mother to me. I grew up spending my summers at her home in London. We have gotten bad news that 2 weeks ago she started feeling nauseous, became dizzy, needed to...

Scarlett got to enjoy the morning playing with other newfies this morning at a 40+ acre dog park in the Chicago suburbs and she had a blast!

Scarlett started her first heat cycle on Saturday and is has been getting heavier as the week goes on. I know she will bleed for 7-10 days and is fertile after the bleeding stops and to keep her away from male dogs. I also understand that after the bleeding stops she will be fertile for...

Recently Scarlett had a bad bout of diarrhea. Currently I feed her Fromm Large Breed, which is grain free and uses human grade ingredients. Her diarrhea cleared up for the most part although her stools are still pretty soft. I did have a fecal analysis done and it was clear. The vet...

I am so sorry for not posting this sooner, I did not realize Scarlett won! For this photo challenge I want to see your best newf. cuddling pictures. They can be with you, other people, or other dogs, or even their favorite toy. Good luck!

What supplements, if any, do your newfs take? How much do you give? I have been looking into glucosamine chondroitin with msm and wanted to know if anyone else gives this. Thanks!

Scarlett will be going to her first water training weekend this weekend. A mock water test will be done (although she is a newbie so I do not think she participates in this). I am really excited to take her. She knows how to swim and the information says that I must have a lifejacket and...

Yesterday morning at 4am I woke up to Scarlett making retching noises and saw that she had thrown up a small amount. She then hiccuped for 20 minutes. I figured it was just a fluke thing because she stopped and went back to sleep and then went the entire day with no other symptoms. This...

Over the past 3 weeks Scarlett has significantly decreased her food intake. Yesterday and today she has not even finished one dish of her food which is 1.5 cups of large breed puppy Fromm kibble. I also give her fish, chicken, vegetables, eggs, etc. throughout the week but she used to eat more...

The breeder I got Scarlett from is wonderful and I am so happy with all the follow up communication and support she has given since I got her. She has a litter of puppies due in July and I am contemplating getting on her wait list. Scarlett is 8 months old and absolutely loves other dogs and I...

I took Scarlett for a walk about an hour ago and she started limping. She did not jump up or sprain her ankle/leg/foot. I just finished examining her paws and legs and found a small blister on one of her toes on her front left paw. I bathed her yesterday and she did not have this and she has...

I was just told that one of Scarlett's litter mates came into heat this morning. Scarlett will be 8 months old tomorrow and the breeder thinks it will still be a little while before she comes into heat. Are there any signs I should be looking for? I take Scarlett to dog parks and plan to take...

Scarlett loves my Uncle. She is 3 months in the first picture and 7 months in the second picture.

I am not sure how to find this and I am sure someone has posted asking about this in the past, but what do I do about Scarlett's lady area? I owned a male sheltie before and did not have this problem. Scarlett's hair is crusted and sticky where she urinates (underneath her tail is fine). I...
