    Fuzzy little new addition! NN

    Here's our new baby! We're having tons of fun spoiling her rotten. Her name is Mimzy and she's a Lhasa Apso. Whenever we try to get pictures of her she won't stand still! She's very smart and acts like a mini-newf sometimes. One of her favorite treats is ice!!

    Cooper, the nosy neighbor

    Cooper is so crazy tall!! Our fence is just over 5ft. He likes to stand on two legs with his front paws propped on the top of the fence and watch the neighbors in their back yard. I can't even see over the fence myself. The neighbors think it's hilarious.

    Newfy leg grab

    Hello! I believe I've discovered yet another crazy newf trait. When I try to walk past Cooper he reaches out and hooks my leg with that big paw of his and hauls me in to him! He's just a crazy boy who loves him mom so much he can't let her go. He's so much bigger than me now. Thank goodness he...

    Info on the Briard?

    Does anyone here have experience with a type of french sheepdog called the Briard? I'm sort of considering rescuing one from the local humane society. She's on medication for a cold and still needs to be neutered so I have to wait for her. She seems like she might fit in well here. She's been...

    Riley, our golden retriever...

    went to a new home yesterday. We have been realizing that we got too enthusiatstic about our ability to raise so many dogs. I have been doing ALL of the work and it got to be overwhelming. Riley's dominance issues certainly didn't help issues either. I have been coping well enough but not really...
