I'm sad to report that we put our sweet Skookie-boy to sleep on Saturday. The way I think of it is that the side effects of the drug were working faster than the benefits. He just couldn't beat it. My poor boy would have been 3 years old November 19th. Well, Skookie had grown into a very nice...

On Sat the 20th my Skookie-boy, who will be 3 years old in November, was diagnosed with Auto-immune mediated hemolytic anemia. Our follow-up appointment yesterday showed better levels, indicating the medication is working. (?) I'm supposed to bring him in once a week for a while, to check the...

Recently I got some advice/suggestions about products to sell at the My Dog Skookum website. And thank you all very much! We plan to re-design the website. Bibs seem to be a popular request. I would like to know what your favorite bib is. Is it terrycloth on both sides? Does it slip over the...

Okay, I think I've got it! They look small in my preview, but it's something.

Okay, Liisa-- My husband has promised me he'll take some "real" pictures this weekend. But until he does--- I do have a few pictures of varying quality that I can post of my Skookie boy... http://www.fototime.com/BDD7148F5C083A9/medium.jpg http://www.fototime.com/E186BF31A8DAF82/medium.jpg...

I appeal to the masses! What do we need to change? Our My Dog Skookum booth at the National in 2009 did get a little business, and it was really great actually meeting some Newf Net folks, but our website store is really striking out. My husband Kevin has been somewhat incapacitated for a few...

My co-worker just showed me something from Craig's list: "Just got a newfy pup about 3 weeks ago and have decided that I am not ready for a dog right now. He is a gorgeous pure black dog and he will be very big when he grows up. He's a purebred newfoundland and at 10 weeks he already weighs...

To all our friends and interested parties--it looks like we won't be making it to Michigan this year. It's very disappointing; we really wanted to be there, but due to job complications, vacation availability, and just plain finances, we regrettably won't be able to make it...

Has anyone heard of Superdog, Inc. or Superdog Training? I saw their website www.superdog.com and it all looks great.... but I wondered if anyone here had any experience with them? If everything's on the up-and-up, it sounds like something I'd be very interested in. What does anyone else think?

Skookie is 1 year, 1 month old, and 140 lbs or more. He still s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s forward when he pees! I wonder if he always will, and I wonder if the fact that he has an undescended testicle has anything to do with it. And, when there's an undescended testicle, does that affect how "well"...

:allg069:YAY! We're finally UP! Okay, not all aspects of it--no blog yet, and you still can't get to the "Meet Skookum and Family" page, "Resources" or "Dog Rescues," but the Photos and Goodies and the Store are both up. Oh, I found mistakes right away. I'm a proofer. So it hurts me to see...

It has been a long time coming.... but finally our website is nearly done. We have hit a lot of unexpected snags, but we're almost there! We will have a gallery of all our dogs, and bios of all of us... not sure when the blog will be ready, but the "store" should be operational. Some of you...

It's not water training. It's just his first opportunity to swim. He's 10 months old and weighs 124 lbs. He's got a beautiful coat. I had him groomed about 3 weeks ago, and the groomer said it's a good type of coat that isn't as prone to matting as some. All I know is it's very black, shiny, and...

At what age does the Newfie get all gangly and awkward looking? Is my boy such a masterpiece that he NEVER got the puppy-uglies, (not that a mom would ever see it that way!) or has he just not gotten to that stage yet? He will be 10 months old on the 19th.... and to me, he has always looked...

Here's a BEFORE picture [/IMG] and here's a few AFTERs: I love to hold my leash! What happened to my ears? Now my head looks small! I love to pester my sister Allie! Well, I know they aren't the best photos, but I was overdue in posting some pictures of Skookie. He is...
