Let there be cold

As many of you know, we live on an old farm here in Germany, built in 1834. Air conditioning is not really big in Germany and only available in newer homes. Having gone from Newf friendly weather in the high 50's last week to the high 80's today. Tomorrow it's...

Resolving a disinterest in eating

For the last couple of weeks Ayla has not been her usual self when it comes to eating breakfast and dinner. When her meals were offered to her, she would just sort of pick at them and finally got the point that she wasn't really eating much at all. The first few days...

What I did the last few days

Hey everydog! Hope you're all having a great weekend. My human dad's family came to visit and it was GREAT! Before they arrived, my humans decided to do some cleaning up around the farm. Naturally I did my best to help out! Here's me helping dad remove the old feed...

No more limping

Ayla is now finished with her medication and it would seem that she is all better. She hasn't limped in days even though we didn't manage to keep her laying over the entire course of the weekend. But we did shorten our walks with her and tried to keep playing to a...

This is what I call floof!

We had a search about floof the other day and I couldn't find a good picture of a Newf with a big floof on his head...but Cute Overload did find a chicken with a whole lot of floof!! Meet Gordon.

Hi everyone, My mom said maybe I should write this post this morning to let you all know that I'm doing better and it's not just her lying to cover anything up 😉 Yesterday the vet gave me this awful shot and I thought I might have to snap at her. It really hurt! And...

Back from the vet’s office

Well the vet seems to think that it's not Lyme Disease which I deem to be a good thing. Ayla was totally nutty while there and definitely not lethargic so I guess she was just sleepy before...or she was in some pain from her paw/shoulder and that was why she didn't...

Our turn to go to the doctor

Yesterday, Ayla started limping a bit on the walk. We blew it off as her acting for attention but now I'm not so sure that is the case.Tick season is in full swing here. We had a very mild winter and they are out in force. We pull several ticks off Ayla every day and...

Ayla’s Awesome Assays Vol. 5

It's Thursday again and time for more fun searches that led to this blog. We have some interesting one this week and thankfully no searches for the name Ayla...almost hard to believe really! best collars for newfies I find this to be a matter of opinion but I will...

The doctor pays us a visit

Before you start getting concerned, there's nothing wrong with Ayla. Well, I guess that might be a matter of opinion but physically there is nothing wrong with her 😉 We finally decided to take advantage of our new sewing machine yesterday and repaired the fantastic...
