    The end of an era

    This morning is the first day we have no dogs. Our fourth and last Newf Annie crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday morning, she lived twelve years and seven months. She had Cushings and was on daily medication for years, the Vet said it was unusual for a dog to live so long with it. We brought...

    Lulu

    About five years ago our Vets office called us to ask if we knew someone willing to adopt a seven year old Newfoundland. Her owners were a middle aged couple with grown children and getting divorced because mom ran off with another man and dad was moving to an apartment. Naturally we would take...

    Lester and Annie

    Last spring we lost Ruby just after her fourteen birthday. We never realized how much control she had over our other two. We have had Newfoundlands since 2001 and these two refuse to sleep in our bed and never have. Lester is a nine year old Landseer and Annie is a six year old black...

    Ruby Tuesday 02/24/2002-03/11/2016

    At this time yesterday Ruby was enjoying a last car ride. She wouldn't eat anything no matter how tasty or unhealthy so the ride turned out to be our last gift to her. The only way we got her on her feet was to put her lease on her. The Vet and Helper were very kind and gentle. I will post more...

    Mort Dooleys Little Annie Oakley

    Four months ago I bought a Newfie puppy from a breeder in Texas and when the puppy fur grew out the adult coat was short. She looks like a flat coat retriever to most people and she doesn't look like our other newfies I have had at the same age. Was this a poor breeding combination or did...

    Pool Owners

    We are in the middle of having an inground swimming pool built. We were wondering how likely the Newfies are to stay out of it when we let them run free in the back yard. They have a small kiddie pool that they like to lay in when we fill it for them. Will we be cross fencing to avoid wet dogs...

    Catie

    A bright light in our lives has gone dark,our sweet Catie is gone. After four months of watching her get progressively weaker we made the choice to send her to the bridge,our grief is greater then either of us expected. I don't believe she would have left us as long as there was one beat left in...

    Catie

    Catie has never been 100% health wise so when she got down again I thought it was because we were gone for four days and left her with our son. Then our toddler grandson came the next day while his mom and dad took a trip so I wanted to believe she just had an attitude over the changes. We took...

    She ate another one

    Ruby our bronze newfie seems to believe she is starving. Last week when I let her run loose in the back yard she found a nest of baby cotton tail rabbits. Before I could stop her she scooped one up and ate it whole. Day before yesterday my wife forgot and let her out without her gentle leader...

    You may bring a Newfi home but they pick the person they bond to.
