As I mentioned yesterday, I had to take Ayla to the vet because her vaccinations were due. Since our other vet is about about 45 minutes from here and it's been pretty hot out, I didn't want to subject Ayla to too much travel.Going to a new vet is a bit of a nerve...
Finding a new vet
We had a great vet living at our old house. She was about 20-30 minutes drive which I didn't consider to be a bit deal and the sister of one of Stefan's colleagues. But now that drive is at least 45 minutes and since it's warming up very quickly in the late morning...
No, seriously. This time we mean it
About this time last year, we started looking into getting a Cool Bed or something similar. My Defender does not have an air conditioner and even if it did, most of the cool air would probably never reach Ayla. She has the back seat to herself (most of the time) and...
Always impressing us
This weekend was another big weekend for Ayla. On Friday we went down to Bavaria to spend the weekend with Stefan's parents. His grandmother celebrated her 80th birthday on Saturday night which meant Ayla would have another chance to prove to them that she is indeed...
It’s a good day to die in a duel
Ok, this isn't quite as serious as the title might suggest, but yesterday there was a bit of a duel between Ayla and myself. It appears that she thinks that the daddy belongs to her. We've noticed that when we hugged, she would immediately attempt to join in and jump...
Why the cats don’t like her
I think I have finally figured it out. The cats don't dislike Ayla because she's loud or slobbers a lot...or even because she wants to play with them and is always dirty....I think they believe she is an animal killer.Our cats have been really holding their ground...
The bone that keeps on giving
One would think that a dog which weighs over 100 pounds would devour bones in a matter of hours...or maybe days if it's a huge one like Ayla has now. But not our little Newfers. Ayla has now had her bone for almost two weeks and you can hardly see a change in it. Her...
Elephant is back in the game
Apparently I've never mentioned him before, but Ayla has a stuffed blue and orange elephant toy from IKEA that she really loves. We love buying toys for her there because they're cheaper than dog toys but safe for babies and therefore dogs...and just super cute.I...
What a walk!
We just came back from a really long walk and Ayla is totally worn out. She's been just kinda hanging out most of the day in the courtyard while we made two trips to the home improvement store and worked in the garden so we figured we'd take advantage of the daylight...
Words I Know
Hi Guys,It's Ayla again...I borrowed the computer from my humans and saw a really cool post from Nanook the awesome Newfoundland. He listed all the human words he knows and I thought I would join in the fun. I would like to state for the record that although I know...
