So, the vet called Saturday morning and surprised me. Finley's tumor was a fibrosarcoma- same as before, but that was a nerve sheath fibrosarcoma. The pathologist feels that there were clean lateral margins. The depth margins were clean, but narrow. The tumor was very aggressive- which was...

Hello NN! I haven't been around in months- Grad school- but I wanted to give a brief update on Finley, since I received so much support here when he was diagnosed with cancer and through the amputation and all that. Finley has been healthy and hopping along for the past two and a half years...

I LOVE newf profiles! Share your faves!!

Under the heading "great family dog" Anyone know a contact?

I am worried sick- morgan is very weak and lethargic. She was been quiet for two days, but that is not unusual for her. Tonight when I got home she was having a hard time standing with her back legs. She is hanging her head like she has back pain, tail is tucked. No fever, is eating and...

I helped a friend make these for her sons kindergarten class spring event. I think they are so cute and they were so easy!!

sigh... He spent the day at the vet. He was a total goofball and love bug to the staff. They think his antic are charming. He is so fat. He looks like a pregnant elephant. He is not allowed water until tomorrow, and then in small amounts, like an ice cube at a time. No food at all till...

it has been the worst day... long story short... Finley ate some crazy amount of dog food this morning. He is at the vet, his stomach is 5 times the normal size. He has not twisted... they are giving him fluids and some drug to make his bowls continue to move instead of sitting like a lead...

Have you discovered food/s that your newf or dogs wont eat?? Finley spit pineapple across the room yesterday and made a sour face! It made me laugh!!!! He is a dog that will eat anything, like many goldens... So he will eat cardboard, but no pineapple, celery, and cilantro!

Recently I asked for recommendations for footwear for Morgan and after reading the recommendations I decided to order the Woodrow wear socks. http://woodrowwear.com/products/power-paws/ I am pleasantly surprised!! I ordered the XL for Morgan- she is a small female Newf and I actually probably...

Finley is doing well. He is always in trouble and is quite handicapable. I have noticed that he is starting to slow down, in ways that I am hoping are normal for a 7.5 year old golden retriever. He isnt always romping these days and spends more time napping. It is worrisome since he has had...

My baby girl is seven today! I just cant believe it!! I tried to get pictures of her this morning, but I was not successful since she hates the camera. Morgan is considered a senior now, I guess, although she is such a brat, she doesnt act much older than two.

Finley is doing very well on three legs, but every once in a while he falls because he is moving TOO fast. He does everything at a run, and that did not change after his surgery. But a couple time he has fallen down the stairs because he moves to fast, today being one of them. My question is...

Morgan is slipping and sliding all over my hardwood floors... can anyone recommend good boots for indoors? Thanks!!!

Phew... What a whirlwind. We got to the office and they were running late. He weighs 74 lbs, up two pounds from after his amputation. He went into the exam room and proceeded to jump up on the table that they use for cat exams. He was a total ham. He got cookies and kisses and tons of...
