Sunny is an older dog, a very sweet soul, who is in need of all the healing/helping thoughts and prayers you can send her way. Her owner, an older gentleman, is struggling with helping her cross the bridge. Thanks! Kitty

Thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts our little Echo's way. The news today was not good. We plan to enjoy her and spoil her while she's with us. She's such a sweet mischief-maker, and we're lucky to have every minute we spend with her. Thanks again for everyone's well-wishes!

Hi, all -- My 5-month-old newfie furbaby Echo has SAS (We knew this when we adopted her). She's having a recheck with the cardiologist this week to see if her condition is progressing or staying the same. We'd appreciate any good thoughts, crossed fingers/paws or prayers you could send our...

(Is that what you're called?) What do y'all know about Sylvania, Ohio (it's in NW Ohio)? Thanks!

Ziggy the ferret crossed the bridge this weekend. He came to me unexpectedly as a rescue; his parting was just as unexpected as his arrival. Ziggy was the embodiment of joy. His happy dance could always make me smile when I was down. He took the greatest pleasure in simply being alive, and...

I'm sure that this is posted somewhere; I'm just not smart enough to find it ... When is the deadline to register for the get together? I am looking for a new job, and won't know if I can go to the get together until I (hopefully) have a job. Thanks!

Our 12-week-old puppy, Echo, has a water fetish (imagine that, she's a newfie :D ). Our problem is that she digs in her water dish, or tips over the full water bucket we leave out for our adult dogs. Also, she feels the need to physically stand in the water dish/bucket while she drinks. Rocks...

We just added a new furkid to our family. She doesn't have a name yet, but she is the cutest thing (not that we're biased or anything :D ). I'm sleepy ... Will you PLEASE put that thing away and let me nap! What IS that flashy thing? Is it a treat? Is it a toy? Can I taste it?

Anyone else heard about this paper? It asserts that rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in Newfies may be a recessive trait. The hope is to identify a genetic marker that could be used by breeders to decrease the incidence of CCL rupture in Newfs. Here's the abstract: Journal of the...

She is a brown and white landseer ... Guinea Pig! :D Her mother's name is Peony, and her sister's name is Petunia ... Thank you!

I know some of you on this board have treated your dogs for allergies holistically when traditional medical management did not work. I'm interested in learning more about this, as I have an allergic dog, and I have a few questions: - What were your dogs' symptoms? What is your dog allergic to...

The Department. of Transportation (DOT) has proposed new regulatory language on air travel with a service animal. If adopted "as is," this new language will deprive many disabled persons of the right to fly with their assistance dog in the plane cabin. The proposed rule would grant the airlines...

I've wanted a newf since I was 13. That's when I met my first newf, Sophie, while volunteering at an animal shelter (she was adopted by a nursing home, where she became "the best medicine money can't buy" according to the nurses). Anyway, I've been waiting a loooooong time for a newf. In...

Hey all -- I recently got this email: --------------------------------------------- If anyone is interested in adopting mini-pomeranians, there is a situation that has approximately 40 (mostly female) of these dogs that need to be placed in homes. The lady that owned them is terminally ill and...

Y'all have posted some yummy recipes in the past (the carrot soup was DELICIOUS, Nasus). Can anyone help me out with a good holiday sugar cookie/frosting recipe? Thanks!

Hi all -- I am planning to make some bandanas as a Christmas present for a newfy friend, but I am not sure how large to make them. Does anyone know approximate measurements for a newf-sized bandana? Thanks! [ 11-23-2004, 10:41 PM: Message edited by: Kitty ]

Do any of your dogs like wearing clothes/harnesses? A good friend of mine just adopted a 3-month-old Newfie/St. Bernard X (from an "accidental" back yard breeding). His name is Toby, and he looks like a (pouch cove) landseer, black with white patches. My friend wants to do draft stuff, just...
