    Advice needed. Long.

    My brother has a four month old cane corso puppy and last night he snapped at my 7 year old niece when he brought him to her house for trick or treat. I was completely for the dog and thought that maybe he was scared in a new environment and maybe my niece scared him in some way. He left a...

    Prayers please

    My cousins wife is 31 1/2 weeks pregnant and has been in and out of the hospital trying to manage preeclampsia. Yesterday she was admitted with a bp of 210/105. They have decided to deliver this afternoon because her symptoms have gotten too severe. Prayers for the safety of her and the baby and...

    Secret santa update!

    Thanks to the wonderful and amazing Brandie&Maggie we are going to go about Secret Santa a little differently this year. Instead of me emailing out a form to each and every one of you I am going to post a link to a survey version of the form that she designed. This will make it a lot simpler for...

    Raw diet

    I am seriously considering putting Turner and by association Willow on a raw diet. Due to Turner's allergies I am terrified to put him on another food and his current one is only ok. He is still chewing his paws and has minor almost hot spots that we are catching before they become a sore. With...

    Coat question

    I was wondering if newfs coats varied within the breed. I see all of these floofy newfs on here and Turner and Willow are very light on floof in comparison. Willow especially I swear she's a short hair newf. In comparison to other dogs they are very fluffy and furry but compared to other newfs...

    Take two

    Since the other link wasn't working hopefully this one will. This is Miss Willow being loved on by her favorite little girls in the world, my niece's. Turner was still recovering from his hotspot and Willow needed a night out!

    Happy Friday!

    Here's a recent pic of my niece's with Willow. She was solo that night because it was shortly after Turner's hot spot incident. We thought Willow could use a night out with her favorite little girls :) Willow has her eye on my nephew who was not in the pic being the nana that she is.

    Bad Mom

    Sigh, I should have listened to my husband. I decided to switch Turner from TOTW to a holistic limited ingredient food that was similar but had healthy grains in it to see if he was allergic to grains and chicken. He was on this new diet for about six weeks when we found his first hot spot and...

    Eye issues

    Yesterday Willow woke up with sticky gunk in her right eye so I cleaned it off and decided to keep an eye on it. She had some stuff in her eye throughout the day but this morning her eye was stuck shut. When I woke her up she freaked out in her crate and pawed her eye/ rubbed it on the ground...

    Olympic rescue it

    This week my husband and I are painting our house and deck and our deck is a little old so we bought this product. It comes in a lot of colors and it restores your deck and is a solid paint that lasts longer than regular paint. It also has a gritty texture that fills any cracks and gives the...

    Questions about putting on weight

    So Turner and Willow are a little over a year and a half and I am concerned that Turner is not gaining the weight he should be. I have heard that unaltered males don't put on weight as easily as neutered ones do but I have also seen on here several males that aren't fixed and are much more...

    Prayers Please

    My cousin who I am very close to is pregnant and found out her baby is high risk. The umbilical cord only has one artery, the baby has a hole in his heart and has a club foot. All of these things are not life threatening and can be fixed when the baby is born. However since there are three...

    How to keep from marking

    We just added some landscaping to our backyard and I was wondering if there was a way to keep Turner from marking the plants and possibly killing them? We put in a few boxwoods, knockout roses and a Willow tree so nothing major but I would like to attempt to protect them.

    Should I be worried?

    Willow has started to pop when she gets up and when she goes upstairs she pops once or twice on the way up. She isn't showing any lameness but I was wondering if popping is common or not? Turner very rarely pops if ever.

    Human Foods

    Hey I was just wondering what types of "human" foods you guys allow your dogs to eat. So far we have been pretty limited because we're not big on giving your dogs table food. They have had yogurt, peanut butter, green beans now that Willow is on a diet, sardines which I don't count haha and carrots.
