Seriously? No photos posted. Waiting to see what I missed.

For those that knew him personally, from seeing him in the show or working dog events, or from Youtube here's a tribute to Gizmo who passed away yesterday. His folks aren't on NN but I know many here know Gizmo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBUKuzMXFQw&feature=share

Early afternoon on Mar. 39/12 with sun shining & a spring breese blowing, I sat on the deck with my girl & waited for the vet to come by. Morgen was 3 mos. past 10. She had congestive heart failure. We knew it was time. Perhaps she & Marin travelled together to the Rainbow Bridge.

Far Out isn't Far Enough: Tales from the Back of Beyond by Tomi Ungerer. Received this as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. It's the author's reflections over a year of going "back to the land" in Nova Scotia. :D They get a Newfoundland dog. Beautiful watercolour sketches. It's an art...

Mt. Bear's Harbour Grace April 24/03 - May 28/11 Gracie was my wild child, racing exuberantly through life. As devastating as this was at the time, I am really at peace with it. Gracie was 8. She was about to start that downhill slide into old age. That just would not have been her thing...

My friend Chuck took pictures & I thought I'd post the link. There are many of them. You can also access her pictures from the NCA National. Enjoy! http://community.webshots.com/user/chsail

Karyn from the West Coast & her Newf, Arayo, are camping across N. America. NNers who are also on Newf-L will know about their journey but I thought I'd post the link to their blog here as well. http://arayosride.blogspot.com/ They were here in NS last week & have just gotten to Newfoundland...

No one has posted a new dog book for awhile, so I thought I'm mention this book by Chris Czajkowski. I read it last year & really enjoyed it. It's written from a dog's point of view; a dog who ends up living a life of excitement & adventure in northern British Columbia but would rather have...

The hospitality booth at the Can. Specialty will be fearuring a continuous show of Newfie pictures. There are so many great pictures in this section. Please consider e-mailing some of these wonderful photos to dcsavory@shaw.ca and your dog can be at the Can. Speciality!! How fun will that be...

I'm posting this on behalf of the Hospitality Committee for our Speciality next year as they are putting together a continuous show of pictures to run during the Speciality. Because there are so many great pictures on NN, I thought I would post it here for folks to send in a picture of their...

A recent publication on the NCA website "Natalia's Favorite Color" features a brown Newf. I received my copies yesterday & it's really a delightful book. Probably intended for kid's from 3-7yrs. Great illustrations - only someone owned by a Newf could draw the dog in that sleeping position...

Does anyone remember the photo "Spirit of a Newf" which is a black Newf shaking off water. The water drops formed the shape of a Newf head. It was posted here a couple of years ago but I don't remember whose picture it was. I keep thinking about that picture & wondering whether cards were...

The Reading Room has been quiet of late, so thought I'd mention a book I read over the winter "Dog Eat Dog by Jane & Michael Stern. The movie "Best in Breed" was based on this book. The book was published in 1997 so many of you will already have read it, I'm sure. I did see the movie &...

I'm just reading "Marley & Me" by John Grogan & highly recommend it, even tho' its non-Newf (features the world's worst Lab). This book is so funny, it has me & And it makes my Gracie's antic pale in comparison. I'm telling her she's an now!! I'm also keen to do another "group...

I just got back from my trip to Philadelphia to see Landseer's painting "A Distinguished Member of the Humane Society". It is a wonderful painting and so worth the trip; if you like Landseer Newfs & can at all manage to go - do so. I looked at the expression on the dog's face & thought "isn't...
