    Yak Butt

    Think this is the best place to post this... Maggie has very coarse white hair on her bottom. The rest of her coat is very soft. I am wondering if there is anything I should be doing to tame the butt? What are your tips and tricks?

    Freedom again!

    Our fence has been down since October '10! Freak storm took a tree and our fence with it. The weather put a hold on the whole operation..ice, snow, rain, LOTS OF RAIN, then heat! Finally....tree was removed and building could begin! Maggie was so happy when her daddy let her run free in the yard...

    poor guy

    I got a phone call this morning from a gentelman doing some referance checks on the Newfs from our breeder. Think he just wanted a few questions answered about her general health and personality. Bless his heart, he called the WRONG house for that. Think I had him on the phone for about 30...

    Gone to the dogs!

    I have come to terms with the fact that Maggie runs the house. As much as I try to deny it, I can't anymore. I have just spent the past few hours on the phone rearranging vacation plans (prebooked hotels and attracton tickets) because our kennel was booked for our travel dates. Who would have...

    I give up!

    So Maggie has never been one to enjoy getting her ears cleaned. It has been a huge ordeal since the day we got her. I have tried everything I can think of. She doesn't bite, but she does grab on and remind you that she could if she wanted to. I just cant keep doing this!!!! I NEED HELP!!!! I am...

    Air Maggie

    In between storms, mom brought her puppy over to play with Maggie. He is her very best buddy on four legs. Amazing the heights she will go to so she doesn't step on him. Sorry some are blury, it was a fast moving show! LOL!

    Ewwww!

    Was out in the yard with Mags last night. She did her business then walked the yard for a bit, sniffing here and there. Told her it was time to go in and to my surprise she didn't resist! She darted to the door and just stood there waiting for me to open it. I thought it was kind of fishy that...

    Before and After

    Maggie had her first trip to the groomers today. I asked for them to tunnel the belly, trim her feathers and even out the guard hairs. This translated into...pull out the clippers! At least its not to the skin. Thinking positive here, heard enough negative comments for one day. Before...

    I LOVE this Dad!

    Watching GMA and there is this dad who dressed in costume EVERY day to wave goodbye to his 15 year old son when the bus picked him up for school! He never wore the same costume twice. All started cause the boy said when his dad went out to wave bye to him (normal dressed) on his first day it was...

    Oh maggie!!

    What a way to start summer break! Kids and I came in from pool to discover Maggie on the couch with my sugar container, licked clean of course! Called vet to see if she had done any damage to herself. Explained that the big ol Newf was counter surfing and got a hold of the sugar. Ate about a...

    My girl can always make me smile!

    Took Maggie to my moms last night so our dogs could walk together. Wasn't too hot to us, but Maggie was panting away. For the drive home I turned the ac up full blast for her. I look over at her to see her tush planted in the seat, front paws on floor and her face smooshed up against the ac...

    dog toys

    Maggie is one tough cookie on toys. She can destroy a tennis ball in about two minutes. Soccer balls can last about ten minutes. Basketballs are a bit tougher, yet no match for her. When she was a pup, she wouldnt touch the rubber toys, so I have never tried the kongs. The one and only ball that...

    motorcycles

    Maggie is wonderful on her walks. Cars, kids, bikes and people dont seem to bother her. Our one issue is loud motorcycles. When one comes roaring down the road she barks wildly and lunges with all her might. It is the sound that bothers her ears, but i dont know how to stop it. How can I get her...
