By Nature Pet Food Giveaway

The fact that we own a “small” 1oo-pound Newfoundland named Ayla probably comes as no surprise to you. But did you also know that she’s managed to score you an awesome giveaway? Now unfortunately she won’t get to test this food out herself because By Nature is only available to you lucky folks in the United States. But from what I hear, it’s fabulous. And if you treat yourself... read more

Woof Wednesday: Cuz it’s dark out there!

Howdy and welcome to Wednesday, The winter is fast arriving and it’s getting dark a little earlier every day. Before the days when Mackenzie was ready for bed as soon as dad got home, I used to take my evening walks at that time. Which was fun in the summer because the days are so long. But in the winter, that meant it was dark, dark, dark. As dark as I am! And a big black Newfie running around in... read more

Woof Wednesday: Snow is in the air

Hey everyone, How’s your week going? Did you get any snow? We sure did! Now I hear it’s not much when you compare it with all the snow my friends have been getting in the States, but for this area it’s rather uncommon. At the very least, it hasn’t been happening in the last 10 years that we lived here! Who knows, maybe next year we’ll get a couple FEET of snow! I have been... read more

Can you believe I never studied plastic surgery??

A happy woof-filled day to my dog friends! Sorry I missed talking to all of you last week. Mom and I were just SO busy that we couldn’t stop to chat. You would NOT believe how awesome the weather has been. So warm and sunny. It gives me a great excuse to go bathe my paws in the water during every walk – at least once! I thought I would give you an update on my oh so wonderful friend, Dino. You... read more

I am the Furminator! Beware of the Furminator.

What’s going on my dogs? Spring is on again/off again here in Germany and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. It’s not too warm to be uncomfortable (although I did seek out the cool floor of the mudroom last week) and not so cold that the water from the stream stings my paws or freezes to me when I get in. I do hear from the humans that it’s going to be getting pretty cold again so... read more

Decorating with fur should be required

Howdy dogsters and human folk! I don’t know if you’ve had the same poor luck as I have, but apparently it’s that time of year again when my hair is falling out all over the place and the humans constantly want to brush me or just pull on my fur. I don’t see what all the fuss is about really. I think the house looks nice with my fur making little tumbleweeds all over the place. I... read more

But I want to be the boss!!

Being isolated and cut off from American television here, I’ve never seen any of the Cesar Millan shows. So when I was approached to review his new DVD series called Mastering Leadership, I was quite excited. If you love Cesar or need help with your dog, check out my giveaway at the end of this post! The DVD series is broken down into steps. The first DVD is sort of like a little lecture where Cesar... read more

Canine Cooler update

You may recall me posting about the Canine Cooler we purchased a few months back for Ayla when it was really warm around here. I placed it in the kitchen where it was mostly out of the way but Ayla didn’t show much interest in it. When we got our Christmas tree this year, I needed to move the bed out of the way so I put it in the entry way where Ayla sleeps at night. Who would have guessed that she... read more

What a Newf can’t destroy

On Monday, Stefan got his motorcycle license so he can commute to work by bike. Fun times indeed. While we were waiting to go pick up his new motorcycle, we decided to run by the pet store since I needed to go by there anyway. Stefan was hoping to find some sort of motorcycle-related toy for Ayla (this was before she killed Buddy of course) but the only thing they had was something similar to a tractor... read more

Finally a Newfie sized toy

It’s been a while since my last post and there’s not really a good reason aside from I’ve just been busy and there hasn’t really seemed to be much worth posting about. But I remembered these photos of Ayla’s newest toy and wanted to share. I took them when I first gave the toy to her, because needless to say it was rather dirty by the end of the day. There was no particular... read more
