    I don't know what he's thinking some times?

    Lance flew down the stairs as if he were on a sled. I came home from work and he was all the way on the top floor laying down with my son. I could hear him tearing down the two flights of stairs to greet me. He was at the top of the stairs in front of me before I even got the door closed and...

    Lance is such a character...came up with a new way for me to meet men

    Forgive me if this is a little TMI for some... So I was at the dog park with Luna and Lance. They were running and playing with a fresh skip in their step. The colder weather brings out a real pep in them. Lance made a new friend...a beagle. They start running around and playing and then the...

    Luna had a crappy morning...literally!!

    I knew that Luna couldn't eat chicken but I thought maybe she could have a little turkey...seeing as it was thanksgiving and all. I gave her her regular food and put in a few pieces of carrots, some brocolli, some squash (which she loves) and the tiniest sliver of turkey. When I woke up this...

    Lance (and I) have the reflexes of a cat

    So we were having a relaxing evening. Luna and Lance had finished their long evening walks. Luna sleeping away in her crate and The Boy and I were watching The Daily Show while Lance wandered around chewing a toy, sticking his tongue in the fan (for fun) and performing general Lance shenanigans...

    DNA testing your dog

    I'm thinking of getting Lance DNA tested. Purely out of curiousity. Is he even a Newfie mix? Who knows? Has anyone here had their dogs DNA tested and how accurate did you find the results. Possible dogs I could see in Lance's Makeup; Newfoundland Border Collie Rottweiler Doberman and English...

    Lance Update

    For those of you that are following Lance's monkey shines...here is the latest scoop. For Lance's pulling issues I went out and bought him an Easy Walk Harness. My son protested it more than Lance did. After training the boy how to walk him properly using it and how to put it on properly it's...

    A boy and his dog...

    Lance and my son were having some quality time together last night. It was too cute so I had to get out the camera. There were a lot of pics I posted recently from Lance's post op, where he looks really stoned cause well he was really stoned. Here you can see he's healing up nicely, back to his...

    Lance is getting the big snip...

    As I type this Lance is getting the deed done. I'm mildly nervous but mainly excited about this. He's so ADHD that I'm hoping this makes him easier to train. Maybe his anxiety issues will be easier to deal with as well. Here's hoping. I know this isn't the magic cure. Hard work and training...

    So frustrated!!!

    I enjoyed NewfStock...I am glad I went. But at the same time I feel it's set Lance's separation anxiety progress back to square one. First of all camping...nightmare!!! He tore a whole through the tent to be with me!!!! As we were setting up the tent. There was no crate so I couldn't work on...

    How many other NewfStockers are Camping?

    I'm gonna be staying at the Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp and I'm curious who else is gonna be staying there? Thought it might be fun to get together for visits in between events :D

    He was doing so well...

    So the first week Lance barely made any noise while we were gone at all. We're ignoring his bad behaviour and rewarding him when he's calm. I leave a radio on for him while we're gone and give him toys to chew on. We are gone from 8:45 to 11:45 and 1:45 to 3:00. He gets a nice walk and company...

    Barking at people?

    Sometimes, not all the time, when people stop to talk to me on the street Luna and Lance will bark at them. Mostly Luna with Lance sometimes playing along. Sometimes I can tell that Luna is barking at them to say "Hello...pet me" and sometimes it's to say "I don't know you, don't you dare mess...

    Luna did something really interesting at the dog park the other day.

    I took my two knuckleheads to the park as usual and things were going good. Running, playing, catch, retrieving, etc. There were two unneutered males in the park, Lance and a beautiful German Shepherd, neither of them sexually mature or dominant. They were both getting along with eachother...

    Help me with ideas?!?! Please!!

    Okay so Lance is 9 months old. He was NEVER crate trained before. I attempted crating him when I first got him and he just barked the whole time. So I've left him free while we're gone. Since we've got him we've barely ever left him alone. Every single time he's alone he counter surfs, climb the...

    Took Luna & Lance to a cottage...Lance's 1st swim.

    Took Lance and Luna to a family cottage for my niece's Birthday party. The dogs had a blast. Luna could not get to the water fast enough. Lance did not want to have anything to do with the water. The kids couldn't talk him in, Luna in her exuberance couldn't coax him in. he looked at the gentle...

    Sometimes little dog owners drive me nuts.

    I hate when little dog owners cause problems and then act like it's your fault cause your dog is big. They don't treat their dogs properly, make them anti social and they think it's cute cause they're small. Then they act like a non problem is a problem cause your dog is big and their dog is...

    Silly boy!!

    Found a couple pictures of my funny boy. Lance makes me laugh with his walleyed expression and doofus face...makes me giggle! When Lance had his stomach bug and he wasn't feeling so good he sat down on the couch...literally sat on the couch. So silly. Just looking at his face :crazy: Makes me...

    Lance...selective listener!

    Lance can be a nightmare on leash. It takes everything I have to keep him in heal. He will pull and yank trying to get "in front". I get him in heal one minute and he's shooting off in front again the next. I can get him manageable...but if my teens are walking him he's alright, until he sees...

    Grooming question?

    I brush and bathe Luna myself except for maybe once a year I take her to get her do done professionally. She has no mats and for the most part her hair is nice and pretty...except for her rear. For the life of me I can not figure out what I'm doing wrong. I brush and brush but it's always going...
