I came across this today and it is just a perfect shot of my beautiful boy, back when he was a couple years younger and feeling better. <3 RIP Sweet Ben.

My Scooter died while I was out of state last week, and my daughter buried him wrapped in a towel and a plastic bag, deep in the soil just behind our back fence (down 2-3 ft maybe) with wiring on top of him.....put a "Beloved Pet" headstone on the grave. Nothing has disturbed the grave, but I...

Ben's brother Scooter followed him to the bridge early this morning at the age of ten. No words. No words.

Ben 2005 - 2015

A call-out to Pete M. for helping me transition Ben to a fish (salmon, mackerel, tuna) and brown bread diet over the past few months. We've eliminated all processed food and I think.. I THINK..... Ben has slimmed down a bit. He's not due for a vet check anytime soon, so I haven't weighed him...

Non-Newfs, but worth a watch anyway! http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c3#/video/us/2013/04/09/dnt-or-therapy-llama.koin

Today my ex was over talking with our son, and Ben of course was lying between them on the floor. I went off to vacuum, so I didn't hear what was going on until they both started yelling for me - in panicked tones - very loudly. "Ben is having a seizure!" they were yelling. They were serious...

The Rescuers Unlike most days at the Rainbow Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray. All the recent arrivals at the Bridge did not know what to think, as they had never seen such a day. But the animals who had been waiting longer for their beloved people to accompany them across the Bridge knew...

Ricky's Underdog impression was awesome. You're up!

No, really. Over the past year or so he has been really slowing down on me. He is almost 8 now, a very big heavy boy, and he acts more like my other Newfs did when they were about 10 than he does an 8 year old dog. He runs out of steam quickly; doesn't play much; sleeps all the time; is eager...

For this challenge, come up with a photo that suggests a movie or television show title. For example: "Friends" or "A River Runs Through It" I'm sure you have better pictures and better titles than I do. Let's see 'em!

Thanks to Pete M, I have transitioned all 3 of my dogs (a Newf, a mutt, and a 5-lb Chihuahua) to a *mostly* all-fish and brown bread diet. I say mostly because sometimes I throw in some egg, or cottage cheese, etc, but rarely. They are doing wonderfully on it. I'm waiting to see if their spring...

So, this is probably a naive question, but I know it will get answered, so here goes. Does backyard breeder in any way refer to where the dogs/pups are kept? I got my first Newf from a breeder who was active in the show ring, had conformation and hip clearances for the parents, etc, and was...

Mr. Jowls himself! Checking out the woods from our deck (note excess neck skin/fur!): Tastes great! Big head, eh: Impressive drool-sicle!

So....we've been having problems with coyotes in our neighborhood lately. We're in a suburban area but along woods and a river that stretches up into Michigan's thumb and lower peninsula. On our nightly walks, I'm used to the dogs stopping to stare at something I can't see, and even though it's...
