Oh how I've wanted another Newf puppy... I'd like to share with you what I've gone through with one particular breeder in Europe who has me on her list. Just before her female got pregnant I asked if she would accept me on her list. She didn't answer me directly, but she asked me to friend...

We've been doing therapy visits at family court at the request of a judge who obviously believes in the healing power of dogs. I'm proud to say the dogs were well behaved under scrutiny of a committee formed apparently in opposition to dogs in the courthouse. We were being watched and we knew...

I am so glad I went to the draft workshop hosted by the Potomac Valley BMD members. Everyone pitched in to help me adjust Chumley's equipment. When I was too shy to enter the ring with their judge, they encouraged me and somehow got me in there. Their judge was so knowledgeable and I could...

I've had a terrible time finding draft workshops/seminars. I'm not sure if I want to someday enroll in a Newfoundland draft test. I think a workshop will help me decide so we've signed up with the Bernese Mountain Dogs. For anyone interested, the Potomac Valley Bernese Mountain Dog Club is...

I just discovered Clorox Anywhere through my son's dermatologist. He has mechanical acne from his hockey gear which can't go through the washing machine. The dermatologist recommended this to sanitize his pads because it won't irritate his skin...like when I once sprayed them with Lysol. It...

Chumley and I went to a Celtic festival this weekend. One of the vendors actually made kegs out of wood for whiskey. He placed it on Chumley and let me take a picture, but I would not buy it as too many people think he's a Saint Bernard as it is. So many people think he's a Saint, I now...

We packed the family in the car on Saturday on a whim and headed to Jim Thorpe, Pa. Chumley took a train ride with us along the Allegheny River. 2D839qSMCzo ae-fAChBOrg M7fCyauJ2RM We then toured Coal Mine #9 nearby and the tour guide told us Chumley could come with us. I actually had...

Chumleys therapy visits at the retirement community and court house are going pretty good, but I'm growing bored with showing the same old tricks. Does anybody have any new trick ideas for us? He learns tricks with the clicker because he understands what it means. So far he's got touch, jump...

Thanks again Tom, Debbie, and Thor for a great BBQ on Sunday! Kris brought her new Vizsla puppy, Stella. She and Thor played non-stop. Thor was all over his Stella. Chumley was a snob and that's just fine with me considering the monster he used to be. Jessica's Millie was all about her...

I took the dogs for a walk last night and they were panting after their walk so I loaded them into my Honda Pilot and opened the back windows so they could have a full breeze on the short ride home. When I pulled into my driveway and came to a stop Chumley jumped out of the window after a...

This week at Nationals I finally met some of my Newf internet friends. None of us knew each other's faces. Scuba, Diver, and Fin's mom walked up to me and asked me if my dog's name was Chumley! Ann and Gloria recognized Chumley, but not my face. This got me to thinking. Let's put up...

Is there anyone who could help me get a membership into the New Penn Del Newfoundland Club? I began to fill out the application and noticed they require a sponsor and their signature. I assume the sponsor would have to be a member? I would really appreciate it if someone could sponsor me.

Chumley had a check-up this week. The vet listened to his heart a little too long for comfort...you all know that feeling you get. He told me he has I believe he said a sinus arrhythmia. He said it's a quickening and slowing of the heart in sync with inspiration and expiration. He said he's...

Here is information on an osteosarcoma vaccine seminar being held at the Leonberger National Specialty, April 23-27 in Burlington, VT. http://www.leonbergerclubofamerica.info/osteosarcoma-vaccine/

Chumley passed his therapy dog test on Sunday. I can't really get excited. His sidekick, Sully, passed away yesterday four weeks from his lymphoma diagnosis. Kris and I met through our dogs. We took our dogs to obedience classes and walked our dogs together. We were so excited when our dogs...

It's soon time for another get together. Gina is organizing another Newf get together at Put-in-Bay on June 13-15th. The Put-in-Bay visit is Sat. and she's organizing a Newf Luau on the resort's private beach on Lake Erie to include a tiki bar, Newf swimming, and a bon fire. The resort staff...

I came across a you tube video of how to make your own dog leash, collar, etc. with parachute cord. The cord comes in every color imagineable. I've not been able to find a nice urban handle short leash so I thought I'd do this. I prefer to have leverage on my dog when in public. It only cost...
