Hi friends, I know some of you that read my posts are blessed enough to have a Newfie or another cool dog in your life already. But others come across my posts and undoubtedly think, "Gosh, Newfies are cool. I really want one!" -- and who can blame them because we are...
Long time no bark! Mom has been so dog gone busy lately that she's had no time to sit down and let me dictate my thoughts to her. Needless to say my big paws make typing pretty dang hard, so I've been forced to silence myself for the last few weeks. And I have to say,...
Hi puppy friends! Hope you had a fabulous Fourth of July weekend (if you're in the US) and a lovely regular, plain old weekend if you're living elsewhere like me. Actually, we're having a pretty exciting week because we are at Oma & Opa's house and there are a...

Hi friends! Mom has totally been slacking when it comes to posting recipes so I’m going to help her out with the dog biscuit recipe she tried for my birthday. I have to admit that I would have been a lot happier with them if they’d had liver or something like that in...
Hello my doggie friends, Long time no bark! I've been oh so busy lately, enjoying the cool fall air and intimidating little dogs. And I am in heat again which always makes me a more interesting pup (or so my parents find.) I generally get a lot more antsy and active,...
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...
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...
