    What's shakin' Ontario Newf Netters?

    The ground, apparently. A 5+ magnitude earthquake earlier this afternoon. I am working from home because of the G20, so I was able to test the theory of whether animal intuition of impending natural disasters is indeed a fact. Nope. Chance and Steve snored right through the whole thing...

    What to do (if anything)?

    I'm relatively new here, and am not sure what to do about this situation (if anything) I came across a post on kijiji.ca (London, Ontario) where a dog owner is looking to rehome a 9 year old newf (Landseer) and an 8 year old Irish Wolfhound (mix). She wants to rehome them together since...

    Hello from Etobicoke, Ontario

    Hello everyone! I'm a "mom" to a Newf mix named Steve. We rescued Steve about a year ago. He had a rough life prior to us, with the broken teeth and fears of loud noises and narrow hallways as evidence. Steve is a very mellow guy, who is a big brown carpet most of the time -- and has barked...
