I don’t know who I’m more irritated with at the moment…the dog or myself. Of course when she’s laying under the dining table where I’m sitting and sleeping so nice and peacefully it’s really hard to hold a grudge. Alas, I knew I...

The First Bath

by | May 14, 2006 | Pets, The puppy years (1-2)

Today was Ayla’s very first bath. One would think that since Newf’s are supposed to be water loving dogs that they would also enjoy a bath in nice warm water…but apparently that is not the case. Maybe something for us to work towards? lolWe got out...
