Hi All! Yes, this is a plug for my home-based business Discovery Toys. I'm trying to make connections everywhere I can think of and I know there are a lot of you out there with children, grandchildren, etc. If you are interested in our wonderful, educational toys for children ages birth to...

Read a little about this on Yahoo this morning...seems your new gov. wants to cut 14 million from the state budget by allowing shelters to euthanize strays (dogs and cats) shortly after coming into the shelter (72hrs or less). Other animals such as rabbits, gerbils, etc. would be put down right...

I'm so excited. My husband and I are going to a local dogshow and I can't wait to see some newfies. It's been almost a year since I was around a newf. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Came across a breeder on the internet with brown and white newfs from Norway. Look like a landseer but brown markings instead of black and white. Anyone ever heard of this or seen one? Are they for real? [ 03-26-2004, 04:37 AM: Message edited by: cheesehead-newfie ]

It's worth a little chuckle. www.knplogic.co.uk./are_u_mad.html

Any way to get rid of ants besides sprays and traps? I'm going to have a nervous breakdown over these little buggers. :mad:

Tomorrow I will attend my very first dog show as a spectator. Any advice on what I can or cannot do at a show? What's the proper etiquette?

I've made this recipe a few times and all the dogs in the family LOVE them. If you're into this stuff, give it a try and let me know how it went over with your pooches. Or, post one of your favorite doggie recipies. :D Garlic and Parmesan Cookie Treats Using a food processor or a stand...

I'll make this quick as I try not to fall asleep. My computer (PC) has crashed on me 3 flipin' times in the last hour. This is a new one and I have to say that I hate, hate, hate, computers using Microsoft products. I could go on why but I'm falling asleep. Anyway, I always used a Mac in...

Has anyone tried these? They are suppose to stop destructive, stress related behavior. It's a plug in that releases calming pheromones. Not sure if I believe all the pheromone stuff. What do you know or think of these? You can use it on cats too.

Has anyone ever heard of or done this when getting a new pup? Checking the color of their gums to determine their intelligence??? Pink meaning good, highly intelligent, and dark colored meaning low.

I took some pictures of newfs home last weekend to show friends and family what a newf looks like. They all turned up their noses and said they look like gorillas!!! I'm sorry but that's like telling someone their kid is ugly. Does anyone ever get insulted when someone doesn't quite feel the...

Anyone out there have a multi-pet househould? If so, how do you handle all the separate demands. Currently we have 2 chinchillas, 2 rabbits (they have their own playroom in the house where they live) a new kitten and a parrot. We are wanting to add a newf to the picture soon but it seems like...

To all you Newfie Moms, Have a wonderful Mother's Day (and any other "critters" you love)

Hello Everyone, We've decided that a newf would be an excellent addition to our family. I'm frustrated though with the $$$$ to purchase a puppy and having breeders tell me "You get what you pay for" and "If you can't afford the puppy, you have no business owning a newf". It's not that we...
