    Gold Bead Injections

    Just wondering if anyone out there in Newfdom has had any experience with gold bead injections. I have been researching them (thanks Jane) as a possible treatment for Saint Milo's wobblers. So far the testimonies seem promising...more so than the traditional surgery. Just wondering if anyone...

    How much weight can a Newfie pull?

    I was just curious as to how much weight a newfie could safely pull? I do mean in a proper harness and cart. I have been toying with the idea of getting the hubby to build some sort of cart that Milo could fit in and hopefully Baloo could pull around. It's camping season and I don't want the...

    Wish me luck..(NN)

    Wish me luck..(NN)...Update This morning Saint Milo, my little love bug, goes in to be sedated and x-rayed, poked and prodded. They are specifically testing for Wobbler's. The vet thinks there is a very good chance he has it. The poor little goober is only 9 months and is such a sweetie...

    NN Saint Milo

    The boys go for a checkup on Friday, mostly Milo. We are going to discuss his hips/legs. He still won't go up and down the stairs, just 2 in the kitchen and the deck stairs at the Grandparents. He won't get into the car by himself (low riding Lincoln). I have been reading up on Wobbler's and...

    Just got back from Nationals...

    and it was great!! All those lovely newfs everywhere!!! Baloo was very well behaved and I was so proud of him. He didn't bark or bother any of the show dogs. We watched some obedience and rally and a bit of the carting. That was impressive. Somebody had 3 dogs hooked up to one cart!! The...

    Question....

    If someone adopts a dog (pure breed) from the humane society with the thought of taking the dog to an appropriate rescue, do you still pay the rescue to take the dog? This is assuming that the HS would not waive adoption fees in light of placing the dog into rescue. Just curious...no dogs that...

    NN Glucosamine

    I am curious to how much glucosamine I should give Milo. He is an eight month old Saint weighing approximately 100 pounds. He is stiff legged, gets up like an old man, BUT...when he runs and plays he is fine. He keeps up with Baloo in playing and can out run him...he just runs a little funny.

    Well, summer will eventually be upon us (I hope), and with it warm weather and going to the trailer. I need to get a cool bed for the boys and after surfing the web I figured I would ask for recommendations. What do most people use? The Cool Bed III looks good but is it big enough? And sturdy...

    The blonde who married a Catholic...

    On their honeymoon, the blonde bride slipped into a sexy nightie and, with great anticipation, crawled into bed, only to find her new Catholic husband had settled down on the couch. When she asked him why he was apparently not going to make love to her, he replied, "It's lent". In tears...

    The toilet, the plunger, the dogs?

    Well, it was a first for me. I've had many things plug my toilets over the years, but never a dog. No, neither one is toilet trained (be nice though), but it seems one of them has found a new hiding place for their bones! One of the kids told me the toilet was plugged, so armed with plunger off...

    Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of the platonic relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious...

    A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the Doctor asked him, "What happened to YOU?" "Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our...

    How many women with PMS does it take to change a light bulb?

    One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the...

    Weaned to soon NN

    I am not sure if Milo is going to have issues or not. He is a friendly little love bug, but at the same time is very timid...cowers and lowers his head a lot. He is well socialized but these things happen even when returning to the same place....ie pet store. He was, IMO, removed from his...
