    Confession

    When I bake for people, I know there is more than a good chance there is newf hair in the cookies. I vacuum almost every day and try and keep my house clean as much as my time and sanity allow. I am confessing here, where it is safe, and you all understand. Thank you NN

    Forget P90X I have Newf Droooool

    I just spent the last 2 hours cleaning the drool off my walls. A bucket, rag and some soap. I scrubbed the walls, moldings and doors. I guess I don't do this often enough! Great workout though. :dance01::dance01::dance01: What's your favorite way to get the slime off the walls?

    Halloween Costumes?

    I know there are a ton of places online that have Halloween costumes for dogs. Anyone have a site they love? I would like to get a Bee Dog costume for Kasper and a Hot Dog Bun costume for Galahad. Maggie eats costumes. She will be a dog for Halloween. Thanks!

    Kasper goes camping

    Kasper had a bit of a rough summer last year being home bound with an ACL repair. This summer he got to go camping! It was a little cold in the Catskills, but Kasper was a great heater!

    Window Faceplants

    I just replaced 2 of my 3 picture windows. Kasper does a full face/paw plant again the window when creatures or unknown visitors come. Maggie does it too, but she's 1/2 Kasper's weight. They do it when we are not at home. The drool is evidence they have been up there. I am trying tin foil this...
