You may not remember me but I adopted LuLu in 2009.* Lu the Noof,* as she was widely called by friends and family, passed peacefully in my arms after a brief illness just 3 weeks after her 9th birthday. She had been having stomach issues for a week and wasn't responding to medications. An XRay...

I just learned this morning that Peter LaFleur (Newf Net's plafleursr) passed away in July. Peter was a very nice man, a gentleman, who loved his dogs and was always ready to help Newf Rescue, and was involved in Therapy Dog visitation. His Venus was always decked to the nines, pulling her...

I alluded to this in another thread but thought I'd fill in the blanks on my cancer diagnosis. Just before Christmas (crazy busy grooming season) I found a kidney bean sized lump on my left forearm just below my elbow. I thought, "Geez, I must have bumped it. It will go away." By New...

Hi NewfNetters, Remember me? I'm Forevers Bohemian Rhapsody (aka Shelby Mae.) I was just a tiny puppy at this time last year up in the wilds of Vermo-almost Canada with my mom, Leilah, my 8 brothers and sisters and my first Hu-mamma Mary K (Codes.) I just had my first birthday. Momma...

Sharing this piece by Donna Swajeski :hugs: TAKE JOY IN…..OLD DOGS Their joys are simple. A soft bed. A scrap fallen from the table that the younger dogs missed. The memory of a treed squirrel. A stormless night. White whiskered faces and legs crooked as question marks. Old Dogs…their sweet...

Evelyn and Brian de Reus' Kloofbear Kennel suffered a tragic fire last night. Brian is hospitalized with severe burns from attempting to rescue their dogs. Sadly, 4 adult dogs lost their lives and 7 puppies were saved. Please keep the Kloofbear family in your thoughts and prayers as they...

There has been a confirmed case of Lepto in the Washington DC/Virginia area in a 6 month old Newf puppy. The pup is in acute kidney failure in the ICU at this time but vets are cautiously optimistic for a recovery, although she's still very ill and not out of the woods yet. The pup had been...

Well I'm old news on NN but I'd like to introduce the new man in my life...Juno. Juno is a 4.5 year old boy, who made the trip to the Cape from Maryland, in a snow/ice storm with his entourage of 3 staff members. He is a private adoption through the efforts of the Colonial Newf Club (many...

Remember the Landseer from Duxbury MA who was found wandering and then spent a very long time with the town's Animal Control Officer waiting for his forever home? Story here: http://www.newf.net/Forums/showthread.php?t=101816&highlight=Zeus Lu has a new vet, who has relocated to the Cape...

Miss Maddy came in today for her first official grooming in over a month. If you recall I posted about her here http://www.newf.net/Forums/showthread.php?t=100158&highlight=Maddy I wish I had remembered my camera, she looked fantastic. When I first met her she was 72 lbs of skeleton covered in...

There was a wet spot on the carpet this morning, I assumed it was Lili (the GSD) who has a bladder the size of a thimble and was a kennel dog who was never housetrained until she came to me at age two. She has an occasional house soiling accident. I cleaned it and went to work. I came home at...

I'm getting a reputation as the big, fluffy dog groomer with the Newfie on the Cape. A Berner owner referred his neighbor and the man's 6 yo Newfie, Maddy. Maddy came in today, I almost choked at her condition. Maddy is taller than Lu, I'm guessing close to 27 inches, good bone and she only...

A good read in two posts ...those with old friends will identify with this post I got on another forum. They can be eccentric, slow afoot, even grouchy. But dogs live out their final days, says The Washington Post’s Gene Weingarten, with a humility and grace we all could learn from. Not long...

I thought I had the worlds best behaved Newfie. She never jumped on people or furniture and she never counter-surfed. Now, I think it was CCL laxity that prevented these hijinks, not my fabulous training techniques ...:coffeedrink: Yesterday at 14 weeks post Traditional Repair of her left CCL...

I think Gillian posted that Finley was having his surgery today. I've been keeping a candle burning and keeping them in thoughts and prayers. For Finley,

:dance01::dance01: And I'm going to WORK with Mum, you know how us working dogs love our jobs! I'm going to the Nursing and Rehab Center where Mum works to spread some lovin's to my friends that can't get out and enjoy the snow. I'm the unofficial Rehab Floor mascot, since I'm rehabing...

I just bought a lightly used Mazda MPV minivan. Yahoo, the dogs are in heaven. No more squishing into the backseat of my teeney Audi A4 Quattro. I loved that car, it had a road rally package and was a blast to drive, but I digress. It looked like a clown car with both dogs riding in back...

3 years ago I drove 120 miles in an ice storm to pick up the sweetest little GSD-girl. Now I live 5 minutes from where she was staying. It seems so long ago and like yesterday. You never know where these dogs may lead you. HAPPY GOTCHA DAY/HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Lili!

LuLu is 8 weeks post CCL repair and doing great. Her coat is now coming in nicely but I've noticed some changes...she has LOTS of new white spots where she was solid black before. I never saw her as a baby since she's a rescue but in the almost two years I've had her, I never saw white hairs in...
