    Adopted a cat today

    I've been wanting to get a cat for AGES but last time I tried to go and adopt one they wouldn't give me one as my place is on a main road, and they were absolutely not willing to negoatiate even though it was going to be inside 95% of the time and only outside when I was outside, in our fenced...

    Can you use human detangling spay on a Newf?

    I seem to remember someone recommending Infusium 23 or something...Rory is matted on her chest - above and below her collar, which she wears most of the time - but I think they will come out if we work at them. I bought a human spray in conditioner, one that you spray and leave in. I wasn't...

    pooping in the house. Advice please!

    This may be longish... Rory has always had run of the house. Used to leak in the house due to incontinence problems, this was a big problem but is under control. Would occasionally pee in the house but this has stopped since her incont. probs are under control. In the last 6 months or so, in...

    Sleep paralysis

    Anyone get this? I've had what I assume is this a few times in the last year...basically waking up and not being able to move, no matter how hard I try. But I'm not sure I'm 100% awake, maybe I just think I'm awake but am dreaming. Very weird. Just curious.

    Jealousy

    Rory has no other dogs living with her but does have the cat, Barney, they get along really well. Rory does get a bit jealous at times though, and will sometimes push the cat out the way if he is getting a pat or something, it's funny. :D Yesterday we were cooking the Easter dinner, and...

    Complaint About Rory's Barking (long)

    A neighbour has complained to the local council about Rory's barking. Rory can be an annoying barker when she is outside (she is an inside/outside dog...whatever she wants, although she sleeps inside and is made to come in before my parents go to bed). She especially doesn't like birds landing...

    Home again!

    Hi guys! I'm back! We got in on Friday afternoon. It's good to be home! We had a brilliant time though, loved everything (well, nearly everything). We enjoyed Phuket in Thailand but it wasn't as interesting as Vietnam as it's very geared towards western tourists so at times it felt like...

    Hi from Hanoi (weary and ready to move on!)

    Hi guys, thought I'd check in again as it's been a little while now! We are in Hanoi, at the top of Vietnam and I'm over it and ready to move on to our nice beach resort we've got booked in Thailand. We have found Hanoi to be full of scammers, although we probably have let our guard down...

    Hi from Nha Trang, Vietnam

    Hi guys, thought I'd check in again as it's been a few days! We are now in Nha Trang, a coastal, touristy area with a nice beach. We got here today after a couple of days in the mountains, where I was sick with a stomach thing. Unfortunately it meant I could not face the thought of eating...

    Hello from Bangkok! *update - and Vietnam!*

    Hi guys, just killing some time before the next plane so thought I'd check in! Just spent about 8 hours in Bangkok, CRAZY place but ended up having fun although at first I thought I was going to hate it. (Once I started shopping it became ok!) Stuff is really really cheap, traffic is crazy...

    Do you treat cats like you do Newfs?

    Hmmmm, you know, I was thinking about cats. We've had lots of cats and not so many dogs. Since coming on Newf Net I've found there are lots of people who are really, really into their Newfs and really research breeders, and consider the best food, and are against indicriminate breeding, etc...

    on the off chance does anyone know anything about wisteria? (need help gardeners!)

    I had beautiful wisteria growing all ofer my wooden fence, it really prettied up the area. When I was away, the real estate agent called and said the owner was coming to plant some plants in the garden. I was glad about that and even more glad when the owner called me later and thanked me for...

    The What Newfs Should Not Do calendar question

    Hi, I want to order the What Newfs Should Not Do calendar but only have a link to a webpage that has not been updated since July, so I'm just wondering if anytone knows if these are still for sale? My dilemma is that I don't want to send a money order half way round the world if they are all...

    Ok, it's one of many of my favourites. This is Rory, in from the rain. My sister is in the background towelling her off. Rory loves to wear the towel after we finish drying her, she struts around proudly. :D
