I bought a Baby Bjorn Synergy sling on eBay earlier this week and we picked it up from the post office on Saturday. When I decided to try it on, I have to admit I was intimidated. The two pieces were snapped apart and with all the straps to fit here and there, I was...
Get the dog away from my children……
Thanksgiving is more than a week behind us now, but this is something that we just need to post about! Better late than never. We had a big Thanksgiving feast at our house last Saturday (Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here in Germany, so people have to work) with 10...
Dealing with this hot weather
The past few days have been scorchers. It's been well above 90 degrees and that's not really normal for Germany...but thinking about the last few years and what the weather has been like, it's hard to define "normal weather" anymore. The first few weeks of July we had...
Tick mania, going into heat and a rainy day
The weather is pretty miserable here today...unless you're a duck or a Newf. It started raining at 6:30 am and isn't supposed to stop until tomorrow. Joy. I don't have a problem with Ayla wanting to play outside in the rain. It really doesn't bother me in the least...
Ayla’s Fan Club
It's official. We are now taking applications for all those who would like to join the Ayla Fan Club. :-)While we were down in Bavaria this past weekend, Ayla made quite a few non-fur friends. She was on her best behavior and we basically seem to have worn her out...
Going to see the grandparents
I mentioned this before but we will be going out of town for a few days tomorrow. We're going to visit Stefan's parents and celebrate his birthday as well as his father's (and my mom's birthday is also this weekend!) Ayla will be spending her most of tomorrow evening...
Ayla’s Awesome Assays Vol. 2
Another week, another list of searches glass ayla myspace I'm not sure what that means. But Ayla does have a MySpace page. I don't think there are any mentions to glass though...maybe it has something to do with the band? keeping Newfoundlands from playing in water...
I guess I’m not allowed to work hard
About two weeks ago, Ayla managed to break the baby gate which restricts her from the kitchen and office. The office thankfully has a door of its own but there are no other doors blocking the rest of the rooms from Ayla. We once had a door where the baby gate is but...
Playing the umbi-game
Way back in June 2006 I posted a list of "mind games" from M. Shirley Chong which can be used to help train your dog. These "games" are basically a way for you to remind your dog that you are in control and that he/she needs to remember that. Game #7 is called Follow...
Home at last
We're back from our short vacation in Switzerland. All in all, Ayla did great and we were really happy that she was so relaxed during the trip. She slept during a major portion of the ride home and has slept a lot the few hours we have been home which we expected...
