So...Byron has been doing so well being out of the crate these last couple of days, but the strangest thing happened this morning. Everything started out normally. Byron came into the bedroom at the usual time and woke me up in the usual way (by licking my face, haha), so I took him out to pee...

Today is the first day Byron will be out of his crate while Dan and I are at work. Well, at least until noon when the dog walker comes. We've been testing him for a few weeks and he seems fine. Our floorplan is open, so we're keeping him on the main level instead of in one room. All of the...

It's snowing pretty hard up here in Boston. This will be Byron's first snow so all I want to do is go home and play in it with him.

I'm trying to decide if I should start letting Byron out of his crate for a few hours while Daniel and I are at work. He's very behaved in the house, but I'm scared of what he'll do with no supervision. But Daniel and I are away all day long and it would be nice if he could spend part of that...

Byron has not been eating much food at all lately, but he acts like he's starving and he will eat treats, so I'm not too worried about it. I've read through a bunch of old posts and the consensus seems to be that if he is acting normally, but not eating, that it's probably just a phase. I've...

It's all happening so fast! Just a few days ago I noticed Byron's adult teeth starting to break through his gums and a couple of his puppy teeth were getting very loose. He would paw at his mouth and whimper a little, so I've been giving him lots of chew toys and his Chilly bone to help the...

Yes, it's me again and SURPRISE! I have another question...Daniel and I both have a long commute to work and are unable to come home during lunch to take care of Byron. Thus, we have hired a petsitter to come in for an hour to take him out, feed him, play with him, etc. She also owns a...

For the last week Byron has had more ear discharge than usual in both ears. I don't think it's an infection because he's not scratching at them and they don't seem to bother him. I think he may be developing an allergy to his food. Is that possible? He's always had the same food and never had a...

Do you guys recommend getting a professional-strength dryer? We're moving into a house on the beach next week and I think it might be a good investment. I've also heard it's good to use when they're shedding heavily. Does anybody have a brand they recommend? Thanks!

Can you tell I'm a first-time Newf owner? I have about 10,000 questions. So Byron is on four different supplements which I give him with his meals. Once a day he's supposed to get a glucosamine and chondroitin tablet, but apparently he doesn't like the taste because every morning after he has...

Hello, I'm not quite sure what to do about my 12-week-old newfie's diet. Our breeder had him on Purina One Lamb & Rice adult dog food, so we continued to feed him that when we got home, but our vet suggested we use a different food. The problem is that she wanted to put him on Pro Plan Large...

I just wanted to give a quick hello to everybody. My boyfriend and I finally got our newf a few weeks ago and he's now a healthy 12-week-old, 30 lbs. boy who loves to sleep in the bathtub and who doesn't understand that the water dish is not a small pool. We are first-time Newf owners, so I'm...
