Our first day is done

Well, the first day is drawing to a close. We have made some progress already cleaning things up although we are no where near being able to let Ayla wander around freely yet. There is still too much trash around and there are piles of bird guano everywhere since no...

Our plans

Since there might be some who start reading this blog that we aren't regularly talking with, we figured we should probably give a bit of background about what exactly is going on. The situation is as follows. We are buying an old farmhouse in Germany. At the moment,...

First day at the new house

Ayla gets to spend her first night in the new house tonight...and so do we. She & I arrived at the house at around 2 pm after I spent most of the morning trying to make sure I had everything with me that we'd need to work on the house for the next couple of days...

It’s on 🙂

Well it's practically official now...the doggo will be moving 😉 We probably still need to wait until October 1st to start full renovations but we have the keys and signed the paperwork so we are going to start the clean-up process inside this weekend with a few...

Growing Like A Weed

Current weight stats(Why, oh why, did we not weigh her more often? Oh right, because someone has to hold her while standing on the scale - not going to be possible much longer!)August 15th ~ 23 weeks ~ 62 pounds (28 kg)August 4th ~ 22 weeks ~ 55 pounds (25 kg) July...

What’s with the bone?

So, I gave Ayla her Denta-Stix this morning at about 7:45. She was laying outside, just hanging out and I figured this would be a good time for her to enjoy it. About 3 minutes later, I hear a whimper at the back door. Thinking she's probably just playing with...

At least she got the right parents

The hubby and I have talked about it jokingly before but sometimes I really start to wonder if we have the world's only warm climate Newf. It would seem that Ayla enjoys being in rooms where it's warm rather than cold most of the time. I don't think it really has...

It almost got bad

Well not much has really changed here I guess. I have been informed that I sounded really down over the last few entries and like I was really hating life with Ayla. I just want everyone to rest assured that all is ok and I'm not freaking out with her. The good times...

Long downs are back in style

So I decided that since I have been working upstairs most of the day and Ayla had no "access" to me other than at random intervals that I would come downstairs and spend some time with her. She has not really been on her best behavior today and most of the times that...

Looking mutt-like…and bruises

Lately I have started to think that people may start thinking that we're not taking care of our dog properly since she looks very scruffy lately with her half baby fur & half adult fur pointing in all directions. Of course this is completely natural but it looks...
