It is with great regret and remorse that I notify all of you about the passing of Ayla's newest friend, Buddy. He had a short life with us, arriving to our home on August 10th, 2007.In this photo taken August 11th, Buddy was still showing his signs of youthfulness and...
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...
Is our little girl just growing up?
As Ayla grows closer and closer to age two (she'll be 18 months in 10 days), it seems that her behaviors continue to change. She has definitely begun to calm down a bit although she can still run circles around us most days and generally has at least one daily FRAP....
Chasing mice…or ??
This morning during our walk Ayla was having a great time amusing herself. We've gone from highs in the 90s and clear skies this weekend to rain, drizzle and highs in the 60s now - and of course Ayla is really enjoying it. She is going to be in great need of a bath...
Recovering from the party
My humans threw a pretty big party this weekend. They said it was to celebrate the house or something...but I think it was just so I could meet lots of people, slobber on a few kids and try my luck at knocking people over. I only succeeded at knocking a few really...
Stay away from the rat poison
This summer hasn't really been good to Ayla. She has had to go to the vet three times so far; once for her shots, another time for her sore shoulder and this time....suspected rat poison. We live on an old farm and the previous owner was a nut about putting out rat...
Mommy’s little helper
Over the past few days I've been painting the doors inside our house and Ayla decided yesterday that she needed to help. I don't think it was really her main intention but she came in the house, leaned up against a door jam, froze in place when I told her to move,...
A verdict on the Canine Cooler
I picked up Ayla's two Canine Cooler beds on Friday and just haven't gotten around to posting about them yet...but here goes. We've only opened the large bed so far because the smaller one is actually intended for my truck so we can travel with Ayla and she hopefully...
Canines Coolers in the country
Ayla's Canine Cooler beds have officially arrived in Germany. Unfortunately, they are at the customs office and I will have to drive over there to pick them up so she will just have to wait until tomorrow. As luck would have it, the really warm weather is on its way...
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...
