Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've checked in. We moved into our new home the end of April and it's been hectic. Some of you may remember before we moved that Deacon went after the meter reader lady in our backyard. I had questions on what people thought would happen. Well, apparently...

We are moving furthur up 65 and very unhappy with the vet we have now. They just bought out the previous guy. Deacon has a staph infection that is not getting better. Need some advice on a new place, one with a dermatologist? I hear there is one in the Blaine area, but not sure where? I'd love a...

This morning, Deacon was outside and the lady from the electric company entered our backyard to read the meter. She's done this in the past; knows his name and has been very comfortable with him. I heard Deacon barking (not his normal bark) and ran out there. He was standing by the gate with the...

Went to the vet the other day. She suggested giving Deacon fish oil for his dry skin. Anyone use it? Also, I forgot to ask her how much-he's 164 pounds. I'll call tomorrow and ask her, but I wanted to know if anyone gives their Newf fish oil. thanks Mary

Sar asked for some photos. Chris is usually the best at getting pix posted, but I'll give it a shot. These are a few that Dave, my husband took. We had five Newfs there: Quark, Morgan, Sophie, Carmen, Deacon. Jill hosted at her place of employment--excellent place for them to run...

We went to a party last night. Our neighbors of 10 years had moved a couple of month's ago and had their first get-together. We pull up and the first thing we see is a beautiful 5 month old black pup! Instead of greeting our old neighbors, here's our whole family (me, DH, and 3 kids) gathered...

Does anyone use the rounded leather collars? We need 28 inches, and the biggest we can find is 26 inches. Does anyone know where we can find one? Mary

We went to the lake yesterday so Deacon and Dave could swim. We all had a picnic, played frisbee, all that fun Saturday afternoon stuff. Deacon went to lay with Dave and we noticed two cuts! He had two cuts across two of his pads. Of course, our vet was closed, so it's off to the emergency vet...

We went to Moore Lake yesterday. Dave wanted to swim with Deacon outside of the swimming buoys and they wouldn't let him. Deacon could swim out there; Dave had to swim inside the buoys. Do you know of any lakes where you can swim with your dog? Mary

Deacon had a thing for eating his poop last summer. We started adding canned pumpkin to the top of his food, which helped. Over the winter, we stopped because he apparently didn't like "poopsicles". Is this just a summer thing? I caught him eating some today. Back to the pumpkin. Mary

Our "little" baby is two years old today. I am getting some photos together to send to his breeder-we'll get one of him at his celebration we'll have with the kids after school! Our baby weighed in at 158.8 lbs. a couple of weeks ago-more than all of my kids put together! I haven't been able to...

Five years ago, my husband changed careers. He's been an apprentice electrician for all this time. He took his test on Wednesday, and on Friday he found out he passed! We have been so nervous the past week. I think I lost weight from not eating. So, now he is a Journeyman. A Class A Electrician...

My daughter got two new shirts this week. Did laundry. I swear I checked all pockets before anything went in. Checked before they went in the dryer, too. Took them out and they both have pink spots on them. How can I get that out? I have not found anything that can get that stuff out. Brand NEW...

I'd like to hear from some people on how you travel with your Newfs. Camping or hotels. We'd like to go to Montana for a family reunion this summer. The first few days would be camping on our relative's property. No problem. But, we want to do some sight-seeing on the way back. Mt. Rushmore...

Did anyone see the movie "Miracle" this weekend? It's gotten great reviews! Our anniversary is the 20th, so we're going to see it then. Being from Minnesota, it has some meaning. I guess you don't even have to be a hockey fan to enjoy it. (although I am) I went to elementary school with Herb's...

Hi everyone. I have been without a computer since December 23rd. I have been going through major NewfNet and Stampin' Up withdrawal. I need to know in the short form all the things that have been happening! I have missed everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I need to get my...

Does anyone know anything about ADHD? My niece was recently diagnosed with it and I am thinking of having my 6 year old daughter tested. With some of the reading I have done on it, I have found that it is hereditary? I have long suspected that my husband has it. So today, I am at school doing a...

Could everyone who is planning to attend our get together on the 23rd please PM me? I'll message you some directions and our phone number. The plan is to meet around 1 PM; bring your own drinks and a lawn chair. Sorry-our deck stuff is packed away already! I'll have some appetizers-snacky stuff...

Anyone available for a get-together at our house on the 16th or the 23rd? Put on your parka's and Sorrels and let our Newfs run around in our fenced in back yard! Let us know. Mary
