Shouldn't have waited so long. Finally got it down to between PetPlan vs. PetsBest. I had VPI for years on my berner who has been gone for almost 3 years.....I swear, I'd never touch them again. (had the hardest time to get them to cancel the policy after the dog DIED, for pete's sake!) I...

I recently broke my foot in two places. AND the boy was due for a huge brush out, bath, foot trimming, and a 'tunneling' to help him finish up the summer as a cooler big hairy black dog. I've always done this myself, as I find keeping him brushed out is a de-stresser for me and he seems to...

Know I just put this on something like page 17 of a running thread about who all the folks are that post to this....and am wondering how I can save it to my hard drive just as a reference. Seems valuable, and something that can connect us in the future. How do you go about saving a thread on...

Saw this out on my FB today. I recall someone with pipeline in their name and figure this woman has just been paid a huge compliment! http://newfieworld.net/blog/global_animal_news/newfoundland-breeder-of-the-day-2

Thankfully, someone recently wrote on NN about a terrible experience about some child deciding to 'mount' their newf and totally destroyed the poor dog's structure. Today at the dog park, 2 different, wired-up kids came running up to BossMan. I stayed next to him like a hawk. Both kids said...

My boy gets increasingly uncomfortable during our summers as he ages. I've wondered if anyone out there has shaved their Newf's belly. Seems to me he'd feel better lying on cool tile if I took him to a groomer and asked for a tummy shave. Is this wise? Any advice would be appreciated. I've...

Since my last post in mid-Nov, I've been a victim of ID fraud (someone in S. Korea hacked into my machine), so I haven't had the chance to keep up with this forum. Missed it terribly. Hope after 2 months I've finally changed my access and pswd to this acct; doesn't compare to the Bank Account...

He was the hit at the fundraiser yesterday for our local Humane Society. I've heard from tons of friends and family and am having a fun time sharing the link. http://videos.kansascity.com/vmix_hosted_apps/p/media?id=16034536 Sara

It's something I've always yearned to do. Never had the time. Met a woman with 2 G.Pyre's at the dog park about a month ago that said she goes out twice a month with her dogs. I told her I would never give my dog a bath (they stress how clean the dog needs to be) monthly, let alone every...

Dear Newf lovers, I hope someone here might have some insight on a strange incident yesterday in our mid-town off-leash dog park. We arrived on a glorious afternoon (almost 68 degrees, which is something like 20-25 degrees warmer than we’ve a right to at this late date.) BossMan did his...

Thought I'd try to help spread the word.... FW: Puppy sold to resident of Newmarket Posted by: "Peter Maniate" peter@hannibalkennels.on.ca hannibal_kennels Sat Aug 1, 2009 7:47 pm (PDT) Just got the e-mail below. If anyone has sold a pup that would now be 11 weeks old to a Newmarket...

Newfer buds, This came through on my Berner List today. With both Newfs or Berners, I love how this made me laugh. Too many nights I've been awakened by heaving that would have been totally ignored had it been coming from my beloved husband next to me.....but get my big boy started, and I'm...

11a. The Adventure of Growing Old...(with memories of ZenMaster Max) Posted by: "Ruth Nielsen" rnielsen@nielsenlaw.com mazamadog2 This is a story of growing old with a Berner and the unexpected joy that can be found with a partner in the twilight of life. My Winter-boy has been a great...

Ok, so these were both on my Berner list. They were too delicious not to share. I'll have to post them separately due to word count constraints, but they are both awe inspiring, regardless of how close I believe our Newfs and our Bernese Mtn Dogs are to each other.... A beautiful story...

Does anyone else feel like they are being 'used' by Newfs as their own personal wiper and smearer of all gooky things?? We haven't had a Newf for about 15 years. Now our boy is almost 3 and we had forgotten in those intervening years how much these guys like to greet you by pushing and...

Newf lovers, I had something very funny happen yesterday. I had the BossMan out on patrol, and we passed 4 young girls, two clutching dolls who must have been about 1st graders, acting like they wanted to come and pet him, but were terribly shy. I encouraged them to advance, knowing Boss...

I haven't posted except one message to this board and when I did people asked for a photo. I've tried uploading one that is close to 250 x 250 and while I see it on my computer, I'm not sure if it's coming through. Can someone kindly let me know? Thanks Sara Grier

I've read the Berner-L for the last decade and have subscribed to 2 Newf groups via Yahoo for the last 2.5 years I've had my BossMan, but I've never subscribed to a group like this web based one. So I'm stretching and learning. Seems cool! Thankfully, someone on the Berner-L told me the...
