We lost our boy Brutus this week to bone cancer. He was diagnosed in late April, had surgery in May and a few rounds of chemo. November he had a check up and was all clear. We thought he really might beat it... Then it came back fast and furious in late December. Monday he was fine, acting...

My dog started chemo last week and the oncologist told me she doesn't reccommend the raw diet while on chemo since his immune system is compromised. Has anyone heard this before? I am skeptical only because the vet always cautions me against raw (even when he's healthy), but I wanted to check...

We just found out that our boy Brutus has bone cancer in his right front leg. He is 7 (will be 8 next month) and has been in the best of health his whole life. He is a large newf (very tall) but very fit at 141 pounds. We see the oncology specialist tomorrow monring, but our regular vet...

I need some advice from raw feeders-- I have a 4 and a half year old male newf who's been on raw since we brought him home at 9 weeks. Lately I've noticed his energy level is really low. For instance, he used to get up in the morning as soon as I got up and go grab a toy and try to play with...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vacuum for hard wood floors (sometimes called a stick vacuum)? I searched in some old postings and found that a lot of people recommend the Dyson Animal, but I'm looking for something smaller since we don't have carpet and it will be used for just hard...

We've been using Revolution for a few years and although it seems to work okay, every month when I'm putting these strong smelling pesticides on my boy I get worried. Does anyone know of any more natural products or solutions for flea/ tick/ heartworm protection? We live in a suburban area...

Hi folks, My newf is almost 4 and I was thinking about trying to getting started doing some water work with him. I thought it would be a fun summer activity that he might actually be into since he's always so hot and lazy in the summer. Thing is... I'm not sure how to get started. I know...

A few months ago I stumbled upon a raw feeding co-op where we can buy meat on a monthly basis at great prices. I didn't even know anything like this existed until our regular turkey supplier more than doubled their prices and we were forced to look for alternative food sources. The details...

Can anyone guess who was laying out on the back porch when it started to rain? [/URL][/IMG]

Brutus got two new bibs this week. This one for formal occasions when he wants to be fancy-- [/URL][/IMG] And this one for game day! [/URL][/IMG] They were made by Susan (2Paws) if anyone wants to order them. They are really nicely made!

Happy Halloween! [/URL][/IMG]

I once saw a dog that was thhhiiiisss big! [/URL][/IMG]

Brutus has this weird bump on his lower eyelid. We noticed it yesterday in the morning, and we don't know if we should take him to the vet or just wait and see if it goes away. He is acting normal and doesn't seem bothered by it- he hasn't rubbed at it or anything and he's eating fine and all...

Tuesday was Brutus's birthday. Here are some pictures of his cake (made from ground beef and egg, frosted with cream cheese). Yummy, cake! Let's eat! That was delicious!

here it is and another

We're dog sitting this week and I don't know how everyone does it with 2 newfies! It's a mad house all day long! But we're having fun and it's interesting to see how different they are! Chiba is short and stocky and his hair is curly and wild. Brutus is tall and lanky and his hair is very...

Brutus shook his head and sent the floogers flying. Jim caught one right in the face. Luckily, he was willing to leave it there until I grabbed the camera!!! I suppose non-newf people would think this was disgusting, but we thought it was hilarious!
