    2 year old brown female in KY

    Hi everyone - saw this tonight on craigslist: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/pet/4031319763.html Last time I emailed SCNC I had no response. Any other ideas? ***My mistake - this one is in Ohio.

    Weird Pet weekend - NN

    This has been the strangest two days in the Dawson house. Last night, my daughter's dresser fell over when nobody was home (and no, the Newf didn't do it...she left the drawers open and it got front-heavy). On top of the dresser was her goldfish, Yolo, who has managed to stay alive for six...

    The dreaded Christmas photo shoot

    My children are convinced I am the only terrible parent who tortures them with the annual Christmas Card Photo Shoot. It didn't go terribly well today, but we are going to settle for one of these two. Hope your quest for the perfect Christmas shot goes better than mine - they staged a mutiny...

    First/third birthday!

    So my sweet girl is three years old today...but it's the first birthday she has celebrated with us, since we got her last December. She typically doesn't show much interest in any particular toy, but we bought her a cheap stuffed candy cane as a present and she has been prancing all over the...

    Paws to Read

    Just a quick shot of Siri today waiting to read with kids at our local library. I'm happy to report that she has completed all of her supervised hours and is now a certified therapy dog. :-) Hard to believe it hasn't even been a year that she's been with us - I can't imagine life without her...

    Canine Olympics

    So, our county's Humane Society had their Canine Olympics event today. Siri and I went to support our therapy group and also to enter the costume contest. Siri meets a handsome newf friend named Bourbon. Then she entered the costume contest as a Catholic schoolgirl: Second place! (darned...

    Best. Day. Ever. Picture heavy.

    So, today, my two younger kids and I had the joy of going to visit Ginny and her beautiful, cuddly, adorable menagerie. OMG. I don't know how she stands living among all that cuteness. I have been practicing on the testing page posting pictures and have been only moderately successful -...

    First therapy hours - woohoo

    Hi Everyone, Siri got her first hours toward certification with the therapy organization we chose to work with yesterday. We went first to a read program at the library. It ended up being mostly toddlers, whom Siri was happy to have poke at her nose and her eyeballs and run around her, haha...

    Saylor/Siri play date

    So today Siri and I had the pleasure of meeting Jenn and her beautiful girl Saylor for a Newfie play date! Saylor has a pool and they invited us over for a swim. This was Siri's first swim and Saylor was nice enough to show her how it's done. We took a bunch of photos which can be found...

    Groomer in Kentucky area?

    Hello everyone, I need some help with grooming Siri. I am overwhelmed with what to do with her fur and am even having difficulty keeping her from matting, especially behind her ears. I figure if I could get someone to help me once, I could at least figure out how to keep her fur reasonably...

    Obedience classes -which one is the right one?

    Hi everyone, I posted back in the early spring with questions about obedience books and got a variety of answers (thanks!). Now that school is out and I have some time during the day, I'd like to get Siri to some obedience classes. I have found several in my area - what's the best way to...

    Question about training

    Hello Everyone, Forgive me if there's another thread somewhere already about this - I looked briefly but didn't see anything. I'd like to get Siri to some obedience classes with the eventual goal of doing therapy with her. The reality is that I probably won't be able to do this until summer...

    Doggie tug of war

    Hey everyone! Siri and her golden sister Lucy were playing tug of war today and the only camera I had handy was my iPhone - so the quality is really bad...but they were pretty funny together. They've only been sisters for about a month and I am happy to see them starting to play together. Of...

    What I learned today

    So, I took Siri to Petsmart for the first time today. It was a little like taking Justin Bieber to an elementary school. Is this a normal reaction to taking a Newf out in public? I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of attention she attracted! Patty in KY :wave::wave:

    Sirius Black

    Hello everyone! I've been trying (without success) to get a good picture of my new baby Siri. Every time I try to take her picture, she tries to lick the camera! Here's what I've got so far. She just came to me a week ago from a shelter, and I had her to the vet today and he said she's a...
