those who knew her or knew of her Nina McNamara Cote was the epitome of a gracious, knowledgeable warm breeder and friend. My heart is breaking to learn that Nina passed away yesterday at her home in Ontario. Her son Marc Andre has posted a notification on Facebook. Nina and Marc took us into...

Bella has a new roommate: a mellow, laid back little guy named Gander. He's 14 weeks old now and the most loving, playful pup, thanks to his former momma Codes! Anyone who saw "A Dog's Purpose" will know what i'm talking about when I tell you that Gander and my beloved Traveler share a common...

Traveler has taken his last journey without me. I can hardly see for the tears, but last night he got up from the floor, appeared to slip and dropped dead. He let out a small cry as he fell and I thought he had slipped and tried to get him up when he then howled long and mournfully. I called to...

since the heart failure/pacemaker situation dogs have been very protective, but last night was very odd. Old friends stopped by last night and at first the dogs were overjoyed to see them. Or at least to see Her. Her husband is not in best of health, so dogs have only met him once. I Should add...

Long story short; two weeks ago I went to the ER because I couldn't breath all night and had to sit up. Turns out I was in heart failure, as in 20% function!! HOw the heck did this happen? Not sure, but it sure scared the dickens out of me. Transferred by ambulance to critical cardiac unit at...

my crazy water dog has suddenly become afraid to go out for his bumper in the water. On land he's awesome and up until last summer he couldn't be held back when that bumper sailed out...or for that matter, to stay out of the water. I'm not aware of any injury he has or had in water. Now he only...

Traveler seems to have settled on a "scorched earth" strategy. Annabelle still needs to lose a few pounds, but her appetite is insatiable. After she inhales her meal she barrels into Traveler's bowl, even if he's eating and he steps aside. So we have to keep an eye on her. She did it this...

In view of the discussion about the C-Barq survey, I am curious if anyone has used the site "Dognition" which is a site that demonstrates how your dog "learns" using interactive games, etc. It was developed at Duke U. by the animal behaviorists there. Anyone? I tried it with Traveler and it was...

Annabelle needs her teeth cleaned and is going this Friday. What concerns me is that the vet says she may need an extraction (or two) on rear teeth. Has anyone had this done with their Newf and how did it affect their eating afterwards? Thanks.

OK, I've lost it. Can't figure out how to change my signature line to include Annabelle? Mods, HELP! :icon_lamer:

From the smallest in his litter to a glorious four yesterday...and he's finally grown into his big head! Happy Birthday, b'y! Yer the finest kind, buddy and we love you to pieces.

Our new addition, Annabelle (or Bella, as she seems to prefer) turned 5 last night and had a traditional Newf dinner of COD....the only fish that matters! :lol: She was so excited while I cooked it she kept barking until she was served.

From Traveler and Annabelle and their minions

Introducing Annabelle, whom we adopted this week from Newf Friends. She is "practically perfect in every way" as the song goes. She's sweet,calm, gentle, well mannered...are you listening, Traveler? :allg069: We picked her up on Tuesday and she walked right into the house and made herself at...

We came home from Thanksgiving dinner to watch the recording of the National Dog Show later.....and who was the Bestest Newf? and in the final Best in Show group? Ginny's Winslow!! (I hope I heard the name correctly). OMG, Ginny, he's breathtaking! Well done!!! :dance01::dance01:

Thank you everyone who sent good wishes for Traveler. He's out of the hospital and without surgery! The vet is very pleased to see that unknown object moving through his colon so now i have the distinct pleasure of poop inspections for a couple of days. Oh joy!:whistling: He was going to go to...

Traveler has been acting strangely the past couple of days: very lethargic, uninterested, not much appetite. I wasn't sure if he was missing Gracie, noticing a female coyote in heat or just bored, but I knew something was wrong. This morning he threw up what looked like everything he'd eaten...

my love has come along...nah....just Traveler and his friend Elsa graduating obedience class...much applause and cookies abounded. Took ya long enough, buddy! But you made me proud. :kiss:

Her registered name was Toute Sweet, but she was Gracie to us. Gracie passed away at 6:45 tonight, in my arms in the backyard. Her breathing simply slowed as I kissed her goodbye. She was 12 yrs 3 months and 3 weeks. My heart is so broken even though I've been trying to prepare as she got older...

sometimes, when you feel down you just need a friend to be there for you. Gracie isn't feeling too well due to another yeast infection and Traveler hovers over her all day. I think he knows she's feeling bad.
