Spent another fun day at the lake yesterday with the pups. Willis showing his sister how to have fun and get a job done at the same time :-) She's right behind me and coming for the bumper isn't she? Can't help it, gotta shake You snooze you lose, Willis Watch and learn She's catching...

1. It's Pi Day! We love pie at our house (and pi too--I'm a math nerd) and more importantly 2. It's Willis's Third Birthday! So I made him little pumpkin pies for his birthday Here he is with his booty He's had the cake for breakfast

It's been a while since I've posted but we've been busy rehabbing Willis who had TPLO in early September and hardware removed just before Christmas. I'm happy to report he's doing much better after having time to build muscle up after the second surgery and has welcomed a new golden sister with...

With Santa Or Without We asked Santa to bring Willis a healthy knee for Christmas and we sure hope the fat man will deliver! Willis is getting x-rayed today and will likely be having surgery to inspect the joint and remove his TPLO hardware tomorrow. Here's hoping all your wishes come...

We thought we were out of the woods, but it doesn't look that way. When they brought Willis to us when he was ready to go home after surgery nearly three weeks ago, he started bleeding. They bandaged him and he dripped for a day or two, but that subsided. Mind you we have followed...

We think Willis has a partial ccl tear and they are going in for a probable TPLO this afternoon. I'm a worrier, and the fact he has arrhythmia isn't helping, but the surgeon assures me he will be taking extra precautions. Any good thoughts you can send would be much appreciated.

I was going through photos today and thought I'd share a few... My sweet boy taking in a baseball game on an unusually chilly May evening Enjoying an evening on the patio And munching away on a bone today My happy and dirty boy He's had enough of the paparazzi Thanks for...

We've been considering adding another dog to our family for a while. All of our previous dogs have been rescues as Matt & I have a very soft spot for dogs in need. I recently found a very promising match--a super sweet and very friendly Great Pyr mix. We had a play date today and he got along...

How much I love my dog? Despite his clumsy and nervous mama, he earned his 2nd and 3rd legs today and now has his CD. He even earned a third place trophy in our first leg of the day. The only Newf in a sea of border collies :-) He had such a good time performing today and I couldn't be more...

Anyone have any experience? While under for his neutering/pexi a couple of weeks ago, Willis had a few irregular heartbeats. The thought was it was due to anesthesia, but we did an EKG this week to be on the safe side. He had 18 VPCs in one minute, so they wanted an echocardiogram. Structure...

Willis is getting neutered and a gastroplexy today. Unfortunately he's also getting a drawer test done, too. Brought him in to the vet last night because of a limp on the back leg this time and xrays showed some inflammation. She didn't think anything was torn, but recommended 3 weeks of...

I KNOW Newfs and their owners like to have a good time! Let's see your party animal: Your life of the party: And even your party poopers: You don't have to be the best photographer (clearly I'm not!) and you don't have to limit yourself to Newfs or even dogs. Everyone's invited to the...

This made me chuckle Looks like the embedded video may not work. Here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeYWkfqrug4 aeYWkfqrug4

Willis came down with a limp late last month. Our vet found some redness between his left front paw pads and so I was very much relieved when the limp went away after a couple of days of using the Genta spray. Late last week he started limping again on the same left front leg. So I've rested...

Gillian, Willis sends his thanks along with lots of hugs and kisses. He loves all of his new toys! Let's get this party started: Meeting the turtle: He loves the pink elephant as evidenced by the dash to the back door to christen him in the backyard after this shot was taken: What a...
