So Ayla and I left for the walk at about 7:45 as promised. She was much calmer this time and we took the long way down the street. She did take the leash in her mouth but only tugged a little and was rather well behaved in general. Perhaps when she was "asking" to go...
Morning walk delay
I guess my wishes that Ayla would behave herself this morning were a bit delusional. It's almost 7:30 am now and normally I would take her for a walk at about 7:45 which is about an hour after she eats breakfast. But a few minutes ago, she came to me here at the table...
A Newf in Venice
We are on our way back from Venice and I have to say it has been a really great day overall. We were a bit concerned there might be too many people for Ayla or she might misbehave but she acted just like we wanted her to. Somehow, she always seems to know exactly when...
Attack Newf?
We've been working on the new house again this weekend. Since we were throwing stuff into the garbage container all day and feeling sore again after just a few hours, we decided we would order some Chinese delivery from the next town over. This was our first time...
Dremels are fun 🙂
So we had our first paw to Dremel interaction this weekend. Actually it was more like toe nails to Dremel but you know what I mean 😉 I have to start by saying that I was very skeptical of this type of nail trimming procedure when I first read about it online but I...
To God, From The Dog
Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another? Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story? Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the...
Guard dogs & Mornings
I think something that almost everyone wants in their own dog is to feel some sort of protection. Obviously with a 50 pound Newf at your side (who has a lot further to grow) you do feel some bit of safety with her around. We have also seen her protective side while...
Update after the weekend
We got back from our morning walk a little while ago. The temperatures are still mild here and you really only need a sweater to keep of the chill in the morning. It's a nice change from the extreme temps we had a few weeks ago but at the same time we're a bit sad...
Been too long
So I've gotten some complaints from friends & family that I'm not keeping up my blog very well at this point. Very true I had to admit but my response has simply been that things are not all that exciting in her life at the moment. Sure there are the truly...
Another weekend of camping
We decided to use this weekend to practice what will happen when we have to set up and take down our whole collection of camping stuff so we packed everything up & found our way to Holland for the weekend. We had selected a camping site online a few days before...
