As Casey mentioned up in the General Discussion area.....Riley was entered in the Monster Dog Pull at Winter Wow!Fest here in Traverse City......His personal videographer captured the moment beautifully.....as I tried not to fall on my butt in the snow, and my Florida camera refused to work in...

Diane....your pm's are full!

Lately, it seems like we've seen some pretty rotten things that people have done.....but yesterday, I was reminded that there are some people that are truly good. A fire started in my neighbor's storage shed....it quickly spread to my privacy fence, up a tree, and then my shed. A random...

I made lots of purchases while I was at Nationals....but this is my FAVORITE!!! Since I'm moving to Michigan from Florida...(I know, right?)...I needed to find a way to enjoy the ridiculous cold and frozen stuff that falls from the skies. For months. and this is IT!!! And here's one of...

My special boy made me very proud this weekend at the NEWFFLA Fall Draft Test. Despite his nervous wreck handler (me!) he earned his DD on the first try. It was very gratifying to hear the judges say what a great working dog I had, but I don't take the credit for Angus.....he is the simply the...

He had his surgery yesterday, spent a night at the hospital, and was able to come home today. He's resting quietly with Angus at guard by his side. Yay!

The surgery is postponed. While he was being shaved for the surgery, the doc noticed that Riley had chewed himself (ostensibly from the pain) and the wound was beginning to get infected. He is not willing to take a chance on the bacteria spreading (THANK DOG!), so my boy will go on a round of...

Last night, Riley leaped over the pool gate and managed to tear his cruciate ligament. We saw our general practitioner vet this morning for confirmation and advice. Well, I was not comfortable with his advice. I made an appointment for a consultation with a doc in Tampa. He is a surgeon, but...

My boy earned his third leg today for Rally Novice! He scored a 95, which, the judge explained, was "pretty good, especially since he's a Newf." Oy.

of course, I might be biased. But I just love the face on this silly puppy Newfie girl. She's still very puppyish, but starting to mature in the face very nicely.

:icon_bb::icon_bb::icon_bb: I guess it's a very good day for the Newfs at shows, trials, and competitions! Angus, his first time in the ring, placed fourth (QUALIFIED)! in Novice Obedience out of 11 dogs...shelties, border collies, and aussies! He also placed FIRST...yes, the ADawg was Top...

Riley the Rescue Newf and I are attending a 2 hour workshop on Sunday for Dock Jumping! I had planned to attend with him before the GT in Colorado, but just couldn't manage everything at once...so we're scheduled for this weekend. I'm so excited! The facility is only about 25 miles away and...

are at the end of August. Wish us luck! I filled out his entries today for Novice Obedience and Rally Novice...and I was tearing up! We've been working toward this for quite some time, all balanced around my stupid travel schedule. There are 4 shows over two weekends in August, so if we're...

Skye's in her first season....where did the time go? Both Angus and Bishop don't seem to remember that they're neutered. Bishop tries to mount, then looks at me and looks guilty, then slinks off, foaming at the mouth. Angus is prancing around her, foaming, and then getting all cranky at...

Hey guys....I need some guidance here. I've been working with Angus in the hope that someday we'll go to a water trial. My issue with him is a pretty basic one....he hates to pick up anything in his mouth. Won't chase a stick or a ball or a bumper...at all. In the water, he will take a line...

Well, she made it to her first birthday, without me being committed to the state hospital, and without Angus and Riley drowning her. That's an accomplishment for the Princess Puppy! In one short year she went from this: to this: Mama loves you, little girl! The Princess had a bath...

Skye and Riley give new meaning to the expression! And, for those of you that remember last year...this is where she USED to sleep! And...just because she's the Princess... Her little white chin just kills me... And...three of the four stooges just chillin' after an unauthorized dip...

Hey Bishop....let's play! Puuulllleeeeeease! Get outta my face, kid! Fine....I wanted to swim anyways! Angus...can I rescue bumpers like Riley? Huh?huh? please? Beat it, kid. Bumper rescues are for the big dogs. MOM.....Angus won't let me rescue bumpers! I am...

My doofy newfies are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier, but I love 'em. Angus Puppy (aka "Moe") Riley Newf (aka "Larry") Skye Skye (aka "Curly") and Bishop (aka "Shemp")
