The sun finally came out here in northern Virginia yesterday and Del spent hours outside exploring her new home. Leo and Ursa are both jealous and angry (with us!) and spend almost as much time running away from Del as she does chasing them! I like my crate, but it doesn't taste as good as...

We brought 10-week old Del home yesterday. She did great during the two hour car ride, stopped once for her to potty and no accidents in the car. She met her big sister and big brother, was very eager to play with them but - and this is amazing especially as it concerns Ursa - they are afraid...

We were able to spend a couple of hours with the newest addition to our family today. We would like you to meet (Kennel name)'s Delphinus "Del" Epsilon. She is six weeks old, and was VERY tired from too many visitors and a trip to the vet the day before that included the dreaded vaccinations...

As you've read in other posts, we had quite the northeast snow storm. About 3 feet in our part of northern Virginia. Was very nasty yesterday so only the newfs went out, but bright sunshine today and the humans joined in the fun. This is a four foot fence... Ursa the Newf snow plow! Eat...

Ursa and Leo had a ball during our recent snow storm! Hadn't posted in (way) too long, but have been lurking in the background. Thought a couple of photos of the pups were way past due. They are doing great, healthy and happy and continuing to keep our lives interesting and exciting. Almost...

We have had one of the most trying days of our Newf-lives today. Vicki and I live in Northern Virginia and work in DC - takes a bit over an hour each way for us to get to and from work. Around 11:45 our oldest son, home on his lunch break from work, called and said that Leo and Ursa were gone...

Fall is coming to end here in Northern Virginia and there is lots of raking to be done. "Come on Ursa, there is work to be done!" "I am working, leave me alone." "Hey, what's that under those leafs?" "Look Ursa, I found that bully stick you lost. See, there are rewards for hard work!"...

Ursa had her first birthday on the 8th!! She celebrated with her very own popsicle (oh yeah, she "let" Leo have one too!) and then she had SALMON COOKIES!!!! She thinks she should have a birthday every day. Hard to believe these two have been part of our family for such a short time. We have...

In response to several requests, this is the recipe we used for Leo's birthday cake. I found it on the web, can't remember the site, Leo and Ursa thought it was fantastic!! We used low fat cottage cheese for the icing. Peanut Butter Carrot Cake 1 cup flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 cup peanut...

Leo celebrated his one-year old birthday yesterday with a peanut butter and shredded carrot cake with cottage cheese icing. Yummm!! (If you look closely you'll see the stuffing from the birthday toy he and Ursa shredded in a wonderful game of tug-o-war.) I hate this stupid bib, but I really...

(I am told this is from an actual beer commercial, but have not seen it and cannot confirm.) Woman: Our budget is overspent and we have to start cutting back. We can't afford for you to buy beer anymore. Man: Oh - Next Day - Man: Hey! What is this receipt for $65 worth of makeup!! I...

A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."What do they say?" the priest inquired. They say, "Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?" "That's obscene!" the priest exclaimed; then...

Early this morning the coyote pack that runs in the woods behind our home caught something and were quite excited - lots of yips and yaps and grunts and growls. Leo got up from his coveted spot on the tile in the bathroom, went to the window and gave a very loud big-dog bark. He then jumped on...

Well, not really. In fact, they hardly seemed to notice. Ursa and Leo were, well, uhmmm, "fixed" (broken?) earlier in the week. Both came home that day (vet was afraid her crates were not large enough. ) After one groggy day you would never know anything had happened. The girls at the...

Nine Months Later...... Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. So they loaded up Jack's Mini van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. So they pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered he door if they could...

Our oldest, Eric, called last night. He graduates from William & Mary in the Spring and just received word that he has been accepted as a volunteer with the Peace Corps. Pending medical clearance, he leaves for Sub-Saharan Africa for two years in July. Folks, there is nothing wrong with his...

Our first "real" snow storm of the year (no ice this time ... yet) and the pups wore themselves out chasing snow flakes and each other. Weathermen forecast sleet and freezing rain, we have about 4" of snow on the ground now and its still coming down. Nothing compared with AC's snow in...

I have not posted any pictures of the pups in a while - you'll note they have grown just a little bit. Ursa is almost as tall as Leo, thanks to her long legs. They continue to amuse and amaze! Leo (looking like a bear) Leo Ursa (look at those long legs!) Ursa (and her wild...
