Our vet is offering laser scalpel instead of the traditional knife for the spay. It supposedly reduces the swelling and leads to faster healing, quicker recovery. Does anyone have experience with this?? Cimorene goes in on Tuesday for her spay. She is 2 1/2 yrs. She's had cycle issues since...

Hello everyone, Wish me luck as I start a new adventure as a portrait broker! I'm self-employed and working with Portraits, Inc., America's foremost portrait gallery, representing nearly 200 nationally recognized portrait artists. One of the owners was impressed with me and I was offered a...

Just looking for some sympathy...looks like we might need to just get Cimorene spayed. I had all of her bloodwork/thyroid done with Dr. Dodds back in March and all checked out ok. Her first two seasons were just 2 months apart (starting at 7 months of age) Then there was a 4 month break. Now...

Here are some pics from our trip to Maine over Labor Day. We were there for a week, had a lovely visit with Hawk and got to meet his gorgeous Berners. And just for you Hawk...oh memories... :alc: :whistling: Miss ya!! :hugs: Here are some at the cottage we rented. I had no idea Robert...

Hello -- Just wandering if anyone on here has a really good reference for a boarding kennel along the I-95 corridor between Maryland and Maine? Thanks!

FINALLY, I have uploaded some photos to share!! Here is our new boy, Mason (we may change his name). He and sister Cimorene were littermates. We adopted them exactly one year apart! Note that he has a white patch on his chest...one of the ways to tell them apart as they're tearing through...

And there were two! Introducing Mason! We just returned home from a week and half vacation at our family's mountain house in North Carolina. We were having our daughter's portrait painted by an artist in the area, so we dropped Cimorene off at our breeder's home for her own vacation...visiting...

April Fools Day has been a very appropriate birthdate for our wild-child Cimorene!! Happy Birthday to our princess who refuses to be proper (makes sense if you know the books behind her name)....just how we like her. We LOVE you girl!!! :groovy::groovy:

Please send some prayers and healing thoughts this way... As I've mentioned recently, Cimorene is in season again, 9 1/2 weeks after her first one. This past Friday, when we got her out of her crate in the am, there was an AWFUL smell and a very small puddle of clear-ish liquid with matted fur...

Just wanted to put in a plug for the Potomac Native American Flute Festival, happening in Arlington VA in a couple of weeks, March 26-28. http://www.potomacflutefestival.org/ **Newf.net's very own Hawk Henries will be performing in concert on Friday night!!!** I'd love for other local...

Cimorene is dripping blood again. She was just in season from Thanksgiving until the week before Christmas. Could she possibly be in heat again or is something wrong?? Thanks for any info. Everything I looked up online says 2-3 times per year.

Cimorene is very matted on her groin area. She was recently in heat for 4 weeks. She bled quite a bit and wore boxer briefs the entire time. I have to say, I guess I missed the matting starting when I bathed her after it was all over. I was brushing her out today and YIKES. I'm a bit...

Here are a couple more photos from the weekend blizzard. We're currently in the middle of blizzard #2, so I'm sure I'll have even more pics tomorrow! First, is my minivan: Then our beautiful girl, Cimorene, 10 months old:

Here are some shots from this morning. The snow is suppose to continue through the evening. We currently have somewhere between 20-24 inches. Cimorene walking down the path Robert shoveled for her: A view from our back window:
