It was 17 years ago yesterday, 3/20/04, we helped our first Newfoundland, Sara, cross the rainbow bridge. It is amazing the empty place in our hearts that still remains after all these years. I remember the day like it was yesterday - a beautiful warm first day of spring day. We got her as a...

Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂

I posted this on FB but thought I would put it here also: Back is 1992 I answered an add for a kennel manager/groomer. I got the job and my love for grooming began. This was one of the top Newfoundland Kennels in the country. I started trimming their kennel dogs and within a year I was grooming...

As all you know we own a boarding kennel. We take 7 days off a year. Yes that is 7 days YEAR! We close because we have no employees. Every year I have customers complain because we take vacation. Our vacation starts this Saturday 8/22 and we open back on on the 29th. I've had customers tell...

I groom what I think is a Lhasa terrier mix. Today the owner brought the dog in for grooming covered in blood and mud. She said not to worry the blood is not his. He got in a fight with a possum this morning. If that were my dog I would at least have rinsed the blood off of him. Oh well...

After a year of having our business/home for sale it has sold. We had to sign a commit to sell document because the buyer had to put in his resignation by 7/9. So it is pretty much a done deal since the buyer has no other job. We sign the final paperwork this week. We will be moving out about...

I can think of no better way to welcome NN back than sharing my latest stupid customer story that just happened on Thursday. We have bought another property since we are selling where we live now. On Friday we wanted to go over and mow the yard at the other house. We had 1 customer who I...

Happy Birthday!!:goofy::alc:

So I thought I would post a stupid customer story. A lady whose dog was scheduled to board over the holiday called to see if she could bring her dog in at a later time. Maybe even after hours. She told me her dog had been vomiting and diarrhea all day. So she was taking the dog to the vet then...

Customer: What is the earliest I can drop a dog off on a Friday morning. Me: We open at 7 a.m. Customer: Can I drop of earlier? Me: I am usually out in the shop about 10 till 7. Customer: My flight is out of Cincinnati at 6 a.m. Me: You can drop off the day before. Customer: I don't want...

Happy Birthday!!:beer::beer:

When Gary and I moved here and opened our business everyone on here was very supportive. We also had 2 NN get togethers here. Now we are selling so we can retire. This is a great, very high money maker, business for anyone who loves dogs. Below is a link to view the property. It is sort of...

I am boarding a newf and a lab. The lab's name is Goose and the newf's name is Duck I think those are really cool names for the breeds. :groovy::groovy:

7 years ago today I had to let my Samantha go. She was 14 yrs, 2 months, 2 weeks and 5 days. We got her on her 1st birthday. 7 years but it seems like yesterday. She had 3 obedience titles, DD and TDD titles. The year I ran her in agility she was #1 in the country. I still miss my ornery girl.

Crazy customer: Lady called to inquire about boarding her dog next weekend. I told her I need to see the paperwork from her vet showing up to date vaccines and the vaccines cannot be given with 2 weeks of arrival. She informed me that she was a responsible pet owner and her pet has never been...

Thought I would post one last crazy customer story. A lady brought in a labradoodle today for grooming. This is the 2nd groom. The last groom the dog was matted and I educated her on combing. I asked her if she had kept her dog combed. She said yes and that the dog was not matted at all. She...

Today 2/3 my Chase would have been 14 years old. She's been gone 6 months and 2 days. I really miss my girl.

Please use this thread to post your special memories from NN.

GAD, Angela and I have been talking and it has been decided to close newf.net. Here is the reason why. The software is old. New users can't join because of a problem with the login system. To get new software is expensive as well as time consuming to install. As GAD put it: “It makes me sad to...

Person called to board 2 intact female dogs. Both 8 years old. He has had them since they were puppies. I asked him when the last time they were in heat. He said they have never come in heat their whole life. :banghead::banghead: Some people should not be allowed to own dogs.
