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...
Fur-family right around the corner!
We just had a surprise visit from the non-fur mommy of one of Ayla's brothers. His official name is Arthur (had to start with an "A" of course) but they call him Paul. He lives at home with another Newfie who is a couple of years old and they have friends that are...
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...
A change in behavior
We thought for the past week that Ayla must be having a growth spurt or something. She's been quite aggressive and basically just wouldn't leave us alone. It wasn't matter of wanting to be around us, more that she just didn't want us sitting still and she would nip at...
Ayla’s Awesome Assays 🙂 Vol 1
I've actually been wanting to do this for a while because I love reading the searches that lead to places like Nanook's blog but I just haven't gotten around to it... Today I am couch-bound because I had dental surgery yesterday and am not really in any shape to be...
A doggy totem pole?
So we're a few feet short of a totem pole but Ayla decided she needed to sit on this tree stump over the weekend and we were happy we had the camera handy. She generally will leave long before we have it in our hand or start moving around as soon as we take aim. Maybe...
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...
Another Newfie on Cute Overload!
I love looking at this blog because they end up with the most adorable pictures - and sometimes you just need something to brighten your day. I've seen very few Newfs come up on here so when I was going through the blog today I was thrilled to see this guy, The Brave...
Time for a new look
I've been writing this blog for over a year now...I can't believe the time as gone so quickly. But we've had Ayla for over a year now also so it must be true. Although I'm late for the anniversary, I think it's time for a blog face lift so I've made a few changes...
Keeping cool in the heat
We've had temperatures in the 80s and will approach 90 degrees F tomorrow (31 degrees C) which doesn't seem that terrible unless you're wearing a massive, black fur coat. Thankfully it's still quite cool in the mornings when we go for a walk but the afternoons and...
