Apparently my husband and I are very slow learners. As we mentioned in an earlier post, Ayla helped herself to a nice Black Angus steak on Friday night while no one was looking. We couldn't be mad at her since we understood that it was completely our fault for...
Where’s the steak??
We entertained at the farm this weekend for the first time. Sure, we had hubby's parents over the first weekend we were here and dined with them in the house, but it's not the same when you're not cooking yourself. So this weekend, a friend of ours came over and we...
A sucky love affair
I'm not 100% sure what is going on with Ayla and the vacuum, but something is definitely up. Since Ayla was a puppy she's gone absolutely crazy when I vacuum. She barks, she jumps around and she mostly just seems to be wanting the vacuum to play with her. But lately...
So do Newfs shed a lot? 🙂
We've been in our new house for almost a month now and I can now list one of the benefits of carpet: it holds down the Newf fur to prevent the tumbleweeds. Our new house has no carpet at all. It's all tile and old hardwood floors and that's the way we like it. Having...
Cats & Stealing Food
Well, I don't really have anything new to report on the kitty/doggie integration. The cats still don't seem to be giving the dog any leniency around here and the dog can't understand the rules of this hissing and growling game the cats have but she sure would like to...
Installing the kitty security device…or not
I've mentioned in the last few days that we intended to install a kitty gate at the top of the stairs so that the cats could have some freedom to roam about and inspect things further. We'd ideally like for the cats and dog to just somehow start to get along but who...
Ayla the Bully
This morning when Ayla and I went for her walk, we were a bit later than usual and we ended up running into Amelie, the little Golden Retriever living on the corner of the area we walk through, and her non-fur mommy. Amelie is on the tale-end of her first estrus cycle...
The Great Kitty Exploration
Today is the first time since we've lived here that our cats are getting the opportunity to explore the place. While we had contractors coming and going, we couldn't let them roam free because the cats were sure to escape which would be a huge problem. Plus the...
Ayla’s new best friend
Yesterday one of the contractors working on our house came over to pick up a bunch of tools and spare materials that had been left here over the past few months. They actually started taking stuff with them yesterday but they didn't have enough room in their van in...
When the cats come out to play
We've had Ayla now for close to 9 months and we always hoped that at some point along the way, the dogs and cats would just somehow start to get along. It never happened in our old house but we thought that perhaps when we move, the environment will be totally...
