Hi everyone, I'm technically not a newbie on here. I was very active on this forum when my newfie was younger. Owen is going on 10 in a few months and I was hoping someone might have a suggestion for his excessive barking. I should say up front that I take full responsibility for this...

This picture was taken this spring. The blue you see is actually snow. I liked how it came out and wanted to share it. Hope this works! http://www.fototime.com/users/kjpaquin@gmail.com/Owen

I just wanted to say hello. I haven't ben very active on the forum in the last 9 months or so but wanted to update you all on Owen. Since Owen's diagnosis of hip dysplasia (last April) He has been doing pretty well. He hasn't had any major "painful" episodes in the last 8 months. He's on...

I have not had time to even browse on Newf Net lately, but something has come up and I really need everyone's advice. Owen started being lame about 5 months ago. He was fine one minute and lame the next. He had never been lame a day in his life up until he turned two. He competed in the show...

I received an email from the head of our local Therapy Dog Program. Owen is in the middle of his testing schedule. Anyway..In the email she stated that if your dog is fed a raw diet, that he or she can no longer participate in the program. Owen is not affected, but others will be. Does...

Our Grandchildren were visiting us last week. Owen was in his glory. Here's a pic of Owen and our little granddaughter.

I just sat down to catch up quickly on anything I may have missed last night. Owen was eating his breakfast. He finished and meandered over to "read" (I'm sure he's smart enough) what I was sharing about him. Anyway, He put his head right up on the keyboard . You can imagine what my keyboard...

I've been looking into buying a new total gym. I have an old "less expensive" model that I bought at a local sporting goods store a couple years ago. It was made by Total Gym (it's not a fake), but it didn't hold up very well. The ball bearings have gone and the sliding ramp doesn't slide...

I'm bored silly. As a matter of fact It's 1:01 and I'm still in my pjs. Hubby is in Florida and Owen is gone for the show. (kids are all out of the house now) I don't know what to do with myself! It's just me and the cat! (Too quiet!)

We received a call Thursday night that my mother in law, who has been in a nursing home for about a year and a half, had taken a turn for the worse and had pneumonia. My hubby made reservations that night and flew out Friday morning. I stayed home to hold down the fort and am waiting for word...

I just finished this book. I'm sure many of you had read it. It is an incredible journey into the mind of our beloved Newfies. I could identify with so much of what the author felt and observed. I tried to finish it on my break at work on Friday, but I got too emotional and had to put it...

I just heard from Owen's breeder. She and her husband are the ones who show Owen. Owen was entered in a show today in Syracuse, NY. He took Best of Winners. I'm not really sure what that means exactly, but I know he took a couple points and They were really excited. Not bad for a beloved...

Owen has had a run of bad luck. Went to a show and came home with a stomach bug 2 weeks ago. Bad diarrhea. He was on a bland diet for a week along with a prescription from the vet. We barely get over that and now He's very lame, sore in his lower back. We had company (they brought their...

We dropped Owen off at his breeder/handlers this afternoon. They're getting him ready for an upcoming show. He was so excited to see them. He hopped right into their van (with his stuffed octopus). They take such good care of him and I know he loves to go with them, but on the other hand...

Does it work?

We took Owen to my parent's cottage on the lake today. It was a bit rough so we didn't swim a lot, but we all enjoyed ourselves anyway.

I (think)I have decided not to go back to my "real" job as an interpreter for a deaf student in a public school, to pursue the dream of having my own business. There is a lot to the story. Many changes were happening in the district I worked in. I was a subcontractor and reported to work...

I hope you're not getting sick of Owen pics. I'm having a blast posing him (he's not having as much fun!) I'm actually trying to get a good shot for our web site.

Owen makes a variety of noises, he is constantly cracking us up with his grunts, groans and snoring. But the strangest noise to date is his crazy Howling. He sounds like a wolf, and what's really crazy is he actually howls at the sight of the moon. It doesn't have to be full, just bright in...
