    Sharing the warm fuzzies

    Took Tink to the Christmas Stroll again this year. She was once again quite the belle of the ball. Love showing off our black beauty. The last two photos are of our foster kitties (Sweetie, Cocoa, Polar Bear and Comet) that have now found new homes and our very silly golden rescue, Hunter

    Came home from the store today to the sound of click click click click click....I immediately recognized it as the igniter on our gas stove!!!! Tried to be careful to smell for gas first but mostly I just ran upstairs to turn it off terrified it could catch fire or explode. (in hind sight I...

    Christmas stroll tonight.....

    So much fun and Tink was the belle of the ball. Kicking myself for not getting any photos but we decked her out in a green garland "wreath" with a huge red bow. She was stunning and we lost count of how many ooohs and ahhhhs and would you look at the size of that dog!!!!! Also amazing...

    Finally got a photo that looks like her.....

    :D:D:D:heart::heart::heart: I usually have to use a flash and she ends up looking more like this: So frustrating! She's so pretty in real life, and the photos come out so bizarre. Does anyone else have this problem? Guess I just need to only take photos with natural light. :)

    Photo Challenge 290 "Not allowed"

    Where are your newfs not welcome? How do you keep them out? Here I was baking in the kitchen and Tink stuck her head under the chairs I had used to deter her....she was being so good - could have easily pushed them out of the way.

    Newfie helps lifeguard in Spain article

    Sounds like the lifeguard didn't know much about newfies when he got his as a pup - pretty cool that they are working together at the beach now. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2708576/Spanish-resort-use-DOG-lifeguard-giant-Newfoundland-Bruno-helping-rescue-struggling-swimmers.html

    When to worry about chicken bones?

    Tink stole some of our roasted chicken off the counter last night...not a lot but I am pretty sure she swallowed a bone - maybe a wing? She seems fine, but at what point do I need to worry? Do I just hope it goes through and wait to see if she stops eating or gets runny poop? Thanks. Sheesh...

    Muddy paws. Anyone try the Paw Plunger?

    I am desperate....we are reseeding this spring but until then we have a huge amount of fresh deep mud our dogs are getting all over their paws. Has anyone tried the "paw plunger" with success? It's on amazon for $25. I have tried separate water containers and the bath and it's all so MESSY...

    Best gift I ever gave myself.....

    Today is my birthday and I am reminded yet again how glad I am that we finally took the plunge, drove to Idaho and picked up my dream puppy. (The first 8 months were far from dreamy, terrifying yes, dreamy, not so much) But now every time I look at her I am filled with such a deep love and joy...

    Halloween costumes?

    Anyone else planning to dress up their pups this year? (Little red riding hood was AWESOME by the way, and Elvis as a woolly worm was a riot). Just looking for some more ideas, we are leaning towards bear ears, a cat or a sneech with a star....seems like we could do better than that though. I...

    My youngest is headed to Kindergarten tomorrow

    I am feeling so sad....and happy for him, but so sad for myself. Paranoid and worried too. I guess we just need to get through this first day. I am sure many of you can relate. So much can go right but I am so afraid of everything that could go wrong, he's still so little.:cry: I wish it was...

    The power of bacon.....

    We recently moved to a new place with a huge backyard. Tink has been getting progressively more and more stubborn about coming in when called - in fact I think we need a new word for beyond ignoring us....she'll turn and look and do something akin to rolling her eyes and keep on her merry way...

    Anyone used a Mecalor pet dryer?

    There's one for sale locally and I can't afford the nicer ones that everyone raves about...the K9 II or III I think they are called? Anyway, just wondering if anyone has had any success or ever used a Mecalor brand dryer. I believe they are also used for horses and professional groomers. Thanks...

    Deterrent for dogs biting each other?

    Our two dogs are wrestling/fighting/biting harder than I would like. They both have some scabs from their matches that concern me. I am wondering if something like bitter apple spray might work at least on their necks to keep them from biting in the same spot? They are happy as can be...

    Any tips to teach "paws off" ?

    Our year old rescue golden has a few behavior issues we are working on - one of which is he is all paws - scratching, demanding, and lots of pawing for attention. We are correcting the behavior each time but he's a slow learner. Just wondering if anyone has a good tip to help him understand...
