Cannot believe the little BIG man is now 2 years old. He's bigger than Paige and Gabe and is the sweetest knucklehead you can imagine. My three get along so well together. I took a little trip down memory lane and found this video of Noah just after we brought him home, 2 years ago. Can't...

I'm leaving for the vet's office in a few minutes. Noah is going to be neutered today and if you have a few spare moments please send good and healing thoughts his way. In my head (brain) I know he'll be fine but in my heart I'm worry so much!!

I bought a Bissell steam cleaner this week. My couch and wing chair, ESPECIALLY the arm of the wing chair, was so horribly encrusted with floogers, dried on, brittle, gunky.....ok, you get the idea so I'll stop there.:shocker: Anyway, we have hard wood and tile floors in our house but I do...

I can hardly believe that my sweet miss PAIGE is three years old today. She and I have shared so much in these first three years and she's grown into a very calm, sweet and loving girl. I'm looking forward to sharing her companionship and friendship and love for many years to come. Happy 3rd...

I don't know if there has been this discussion regarding gay tails, or a Newf's tail that curves over its back, but I'm curious about the whys and wherefores and the causes of it. More specifically, is it an indication of health problems. I know the Newfoundland dog breed standard states...

Here are Gabe and Paige. I couldn't get a decent photo of Noah. He's so darned busy all the time. Noah has grown into such a handsome boy and is my love......but he won't hold still for photos. So, since it has been a long time here are a couple snaps. One of Gabe who can't hold his licker...

I wondered if any NN members can help me with a little Canadian history and poetry. Do you know of any Canadian Poetry written specifically about WWI. Of course Flander's Field is the first that came to mind. I wonder though, if you can think of other poems written specifically about WWI...

Paige was sleeping peacefully on the floor in my work room when she suddenly heard the church bells chiming. Being a good dog, Paige began accompanying the Church Carrilon Bells with her lovely singing voice. Once she noticed I was taping her she stopped, but I got a little of her aria. Hope...

Every Newf I've had, weight has always been an issue...the issue being they tended to be on the heavier side. Well, my dear sweet Noah is the opposite. Noah is 15 months old and is as skinny as a rail. A few weeks ago we were in the States and I had my three pups at the kennel. When I saw...

My first daffodils opened this week and it won't be long before the tulips bloom (I hope.) I decided it was safe to begin preparing the vegetable gardens (there are four) but needed to get truck load of garden soil. It took a lot of work hauling the soil from the truck in a wheel barrel to the...

I don't know when or how my wee pup grew up so quickly, but here are a few photos of Noah I took this morning. He looks so grown up and isn't even quite a year old yet.

Since grooming and trimming what, where and how have been topics of interest lately, I have a question about eyebrows. For Newfs who get heavy brows (imagine Groucho Marx) do you trim the eyebrows? I'm asking because Gabe is starting to get eyebrows that hang over his eyes and I'm curious if...

Serious question here... how cold is too cold for a Newf? This morning it is -29C (that is -20F) and just opening the door burns my face as the cold rushes inside. I have three Newfs: Noah, my biggest and youngest, should be called Prince Newfie who'd prefer to spend his days on a cushion...

My mother sent this article to me today. Another musician, along with Rostropovich, who had a Newfoundland dog. Thought this was interesting: Wagner's "shaggy dog" story On today's date in 1843, Richard Wagner's opera "The Flying Dutchman" had its premiere performance in Dresden. The...

I own a Newfoundland dog that is missing a gene or two. Noah is the biggest of my three, has the thickest and warmest and most glorious double coat to potentially allow him to brave the frigid Atlantic waters. However, the lad does NOT want to go outside and play in the snow. He's the biggest...

One year ago I realized a childhood dream when I got my Gypsy mare. Gypsy is a purebred Canadian mare. I always dreamed of owning a horse but in those dreams I didn't even come close to knowing or imagining how much a part of one's own heart my beautiful horse could become to me. I hope...

I will never ever get another one. Gabe ate one up! It has been a very rough past couple of days for my guy. He's been in a lot of pain. Today they are starting to pass and xrays indicate they are making their way out of him. Bumper toy: $20.00 Two trips to the Vet: $318.43 Owning my...

A perfectly beautiful Thanksgiving Day Oct. 11, 2010 My husband has been traveling for work and will continue to do so well into November but he was able to get home to spend Thanksgiving, yesterday, with me and the critters. We started the day with a long walk in the woods with Gabriel, Paige...

Have any of you ingenious and creative people constructed your own agility course? Please don't laugh at me but I want to set up a small playground of sorts for my three amigos. I don't plan to compete or do anything more than just have fun with them in a bit of a mind stimulating play with...

I love this book. "A Dog’s Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life's most basic question: Why are we here?" Here is a video review to pique your interest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px_8id3qPeQ
