    THAT was a short life-span (toy post)

    wanted to make sure to specify this was NOT about a sick newf! I ordered the Go Dog! fuzzy ball for Poppy. I had hoped she would love it, and cuddle it, like Nanook. I got the biggest one I could find, it was about 8 inches around. I gave it to Poppy, and she was over the moon! She carried it...

    Where to get a doggie life jacket

    Hi guys, we are getting our pool set up and I want to get Poppy used to a life vest. Our pet stores here don't have them big enough, and I want to be sure to get a good quality item. Where do you suggest buying one online? Any specific model?

    Dryer

    I know we have discussed this before, but search isn't working well. I need to get a dryer, but keep in mind I have just the one Newf, don't really want to put in a dedicated outlet and would like spend under $200. I did see a couple of Metros for that. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I need...

    Rough Play

    I have read a couple of posts about people not letting their dogs play with dogs they deemed too rough for them. I am wondering what this means. How rough are we talking? Poppy is almost 18 mos, weighs about 115. She has been going to the dog park since she was 4 mos old. From the time she was a...

    Checking in and saying hi

    Hey everyone! Things here are going well, Poppy is almost 17 mos old now...cannot believe it! Some of her puppy impulsiveness is wearing off, which is nice. She is doing great, minds really well, with two glaring exceptions. If I leash her and take her to the car and we go somewhere else, we...

    Think she is trying to tell me something?

    This was left onmybed yesterday..... Someone is ready. To go back to the dog park, I think? :roflmao: Someone needs more exercise; my husband walking her in the morning does not seem to be enough. She does not usually chew things up. :yawn:

    Why I have not posted

    It is tough to type one-handed! Yesterday at the dog park, I was bitten by a dog. Bottom line, my fault. He was playing with Poppy ( they have played before a few times) and they got overly aroused. I monitor that and pull Poppy out of bad situations before it escalates and this time I was a...

    walk from hell

    I am so frustrated right now. It is rainy/windy here, and Poppy and I just went for our normal morning walk. She has been doing so well, walking next to me, not pulling. Today, was different. It started out good, she was listening, and then we turned the corner to head back home, about 2...

    Probiotics : can she take the human stuff?

    Hey, I searched archives and google, but couldn't find the answer to the exact question, so I turn to you all who are amazing. Can Poppy take my probiotic, or is there anything in the human-grade stuff that should be avoided for dogs? I take a really good one, from the health food store, that...

    NN need help with a lower fat decent cat food

    Hi guys, could use some advice... We feed Perry & Twinkie (both 4) Katzenflocken food, in a shiny purple bag with stars and moons on it. They love it, and it seems to be good for them, poops are good. But it makes them gain weight like crazy! I even cut the wet food, and still, the weight...

    We have FLAT collar!

    I know that you all will appreciate it...no one else will. I walk Poppy every single day, and we walk with the Gentle Leader. She has always been collar-smart, and pulled with the Martingale only. So we have been practicing and walking double leashed: one leash attached to the GL and one to her...

    Poppy gets NOMS

    SORRY I DELETED THE VIDEO BECAUSE THE SPEED WAS OFF. We have a pretty cute dog "barkery" here, and this is the first time I have videotaped us there. Sorry for the crotch shots of my husband, but, I kind of am not very good at this. n8an0pY2kIo

    Must Love Dogs

    Tonight I introduced my 16 yr old daughter to one of my very favorite movies...Must Love Dogs with Jon Cusack and Diane Lane. And most of all, with two 6 month old twin newfies. She loved it, which made me very happy. Trivia, the director loved newfs, so he decided to put one in his movie, she...

    She's pulling the leash AGAIN

    Poppy is really frustrating me and I could use some advice. We have a really good bond, I think.. but. As you know, she had surgery about 10 days ago. she is pent-up, 10 days worth, and needs to be exercised, and blow off some steam, I know this. She is used to going to the dog park at least...

    newf-proof toys??

    Do you have any recommendations for toys that Poppy cannot chew up/eat? She gets to the stuffing quickly, and tries to eat it, so I have to watch carefully. Even with stuffing-free toys, she tries to eat them. She loves toys that have water bottles in them, but again... she chews through...
