I'm sorry this has taken me so long, but it's been hard: Our very first Newfoundland. Kala showed Barry and I how much fun a dog could be. What a complete clown, bursting with personality. Social butterfly, I called her. Sassafras. Kala-Bala. The first dog we took camping. The first dog that got...

...last Tuesday and Wednesday we were told our time together is very limited. Kala has developed cancer of either the spleen or liver, it's too far advanced at this point, for it to really matter. She still has her appetite and has moments of being her silly self, but she has shortness of breath...

I saw the new Ford Flex the other day and I was intrigued. A cross between a station wagon and a van - a perfect Newfmobile? Has anyone checked them out yet? Thoughts...?

...For the sake of Rescue... :icon_cool: My sister recently finished this year's contribution for the Get-Together. I couldn't be more proud - it's a pen and ink and I wish I could scribble half as well as she can draw... Thanks, sis. You're the best. This means SOOO much to me -

Well, Lacy decided that things were getting boring around here and a visit to the vet would liven things up a bit... Last Sat. the girls were out playing and everything seemed okay. Later that evening, after their dinner, I noticed Lacy limping and/or not putting any weight on her back left...

Okay, I simply can't groom my pups on the floor any longer -my back needs a break. I have already decided that the Champagne grooming table will last probably forever for us and I don't have a problem spending extra $$ for something sturdy and that I won't regret. However, I can't decide...

Nothing special, but Kala's 6th birthday was last week (yes, she was extra-spoiled all day long), and then both girls got a bath last Sunday. It was nice to take advantage of the wind and let mother nature help us dry them off. I had to give my back a break, so in the outside pics the girls...

First I have to say that we had an absolute blast (again). I can honestly say that everything was PERFECT. It was SO wonderful to see old friends and meet new friends. Thank you Karen, for showing me how to trim Kala's ears and feathers. Yes, she likes her new doo. Guy, thanks...

My little girl's made me proud yet again. Per some one's suggestion, I sent in my avatar picture to Michael Steddum - and he painted her portrait!!! Here's the website: Micheal Steddum

I just wanted to finally introduce our new little girl, Lacy, formally Gracie (we have a cat by that name). She just turned two years old in the beginning of this month. While I've only had the opportunity to be owned by one Newf, so far, and I know they are smart, but Lacy has really proven...

...Four. We live along the I & M Towpath and it's like a neat little nature preserve in our backyard. Well, Kala's never learned how to swim, never really desired to and I never pushed her. Truthfully, I was a worry-wart and didn't want her to drown. I think now, however, that come July and...

Today the vet's coming out at 1:30 to help us take Murphy to the Bridge. This past week the tumor really grew fast and up and down his leg; he's got club foot. Murphy's eating, watching the house, wagging his tail but has a REAL hard time getting up and down and outside. Once outside will...

Daddy is Kala's 1st best bud... Bad news for me/us today. Murphy stopped putting any weight on his back right leg about a month ago - only when standing, no problems walking (yet). I increased his Springtime Joint supplement and per a verbal by the vet, started on an aspirin in the morning...

Well, I bought a Dyson Animal and have had it about a month now, doing a test drive, so to speak. The first week I decided I didn't need it. It just seemed unnecessary to spend all that money for this house, which is small, and not one room even has wall-to-wall carpeting. Like I bought a...

I just attempted to vacuum my rugs. I need a new vacuum, period. I need help justifying whether or not I need or should get a Dyson, or if I can get away with something a little cheaper. We have wood and ceramic tile floors. All of our rugs are throw rugs with rubber backing. The living...

For me - and sort of for the furkids... Hubby wanted a food dehydrator to make jerky. I thought we could just use the oven, but then thought it wouldn't hurt to try it. And that I could probably make treats for the pups. (Yes, that's the REAL reason I didn't mind buying another gadget to take...

And, it sure was great seeing everyone and meeting new. I just loved being around all the Newfies!!! http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y193/dbshuu/2006%20NewfNet%20Get-Together/ [ 06-18-2006, 08:35 PM: Message edited by: Elly May ]

Can anyone give me some insight on what to look for in a decent model? I'm tired of freezing veggies or whatever only to find freezer burn. I'm ready to buy but can't seem to find any information and make comparisons to determine what a "good" quality model is. Thanks -

I like feeding the pups in raised bowls but after buying two separate feeding stations, I soon discovered that they took up way too much room in my tiny kitchen. Plus it seemed like both pups prefered to drink water out of only one bowl, so what was the point of have two dishes to fill all the...
