Hi everyone..it's been a while...have had a lot of drama in 2011. Just wanted to share the latest. The reason for my existence is Kali, who's birthday was Feb 28th. She has been my confidant and friend through these past 5 yrs of my life. Because of her, I started a small all natural dog...

www.sugarplumcottage.com Created for my Newfies.....because I love my dogs.

I created "Kali's Bark" for my 3 Newfies. They love them and refuse to eat processed, unhealthy treats anymore! Please check out the website if you're looking for healthy, lower calorie treats. www.sugarplumcottage.com

Now that Kali is on the mend from her cruciate surgery and doing well, now she's walking slower and putting more weight on the leg each day...(I'm so proud of her). Well, Buddy started limping on his front right paw. This went on for about a week (and I checked every inch of his paw thoroughly...

Kali went to the vet on Monday. It WAS supposed to be today, but the incision site healed quickly and there wasn't a need for the stitches to be in longer than the 14 days. It was a >>>>>>FAST>>>>>> removal, she didn't even flinch. Then she got updated on her shots, I got a speech about how...

The power of prayer is AMAZING. Kali has been getting up and having me take her outside to go number 1 AND number 2 DAILY! She sometimes gets a little ahead of herself with the hop and I have to slow her down, and when I do, she is slowly putting her foot down and putting some soft pressure on...

So sorry I haven't given any updates lately, it has been exhausting caring for Kali. Tuesday and Wednesday she didn't lift her back end at all. She had several accidents in the house and moving her around was exhausting. Thursday night, it was like the hand of God had lifted her on her own...

The doctor just called and said Kali is doing well. The surgery went well, although once they went in, they found that one of the two cartlidges were torn, so they had to repair that as well. She is comfortable and just starting to lift her head. Doctor says for me to call for updates tonite at...

Well, a million thank yous just doesn't seem enough. Everyone who has told me what they have gone thru puts my mind at ease. My mother has invited 5 family members to come over for dessert tonight and I just couldn't handle that. I had her call them back ad tell them it was just too much...

Update - Fri - 4-22: Kali was uneasy last night. She was huffing hard, so i turned the a/c on and it calmed the huffing. She was uncomfortable, moving from one spot to another. Then she jumped on the couch! (My husband forgot to put the pillows on the couch to block off). Her highness has been...

Dog Parks are a BIG MISTAKE!!~Update Kali was attacked at a dog park this past Sunday 4/17/11. (Kali wouldn't hurt a fly!) This long haired retriever came out of nowhere, jumped on Kali's back and took her to the ground. Kali completely tore her ACL tendon and is having surgery on Monday to put...

Last 4th of July I rescued my 3rd Newf. A 3 1/2 year old male named BUDDY. You know how all of you talk about "Foster Failures"? Well, I thought I would NOT be THAT person. Big Surprise.........I AM THAT PERSON. Now I'm in the process of looking for a bigger house and property!! I enjoy...

PETA MESSAGE - *not for the sensitive* I JUST WANTED TO SHARE AN EMAIL I GOT FROM PETA. It saddens me that there are people out there who just don't care. :cry::cry: If you have the time, please read about what you can do to stop this. __________________________________________ Most people...
