It wasn’t all bad in 2008…and resolutions for 2009

This past year has been a rather wild ride for us, holding lots of surprises, both good and bad. We usually forget just how far we've come and how much has occurred so I thought a year in review was due. Best Moments of 2008 Ayla turned two and became the best dog...

Thanksgiving Turkey Like Mom Makes It

There is little doubt that one of the most important parts of a Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey...at least in most households. And I always have to think of Christmas Vacation and the delicious turkey they have there when it comes to carving it up. According to the...

I'm feeling a bit nauseous today. Not really sure why but maybe I was on my feet too much yesterday? Or maybe Mackenzie wasn't happy with the cup of Darjeeling I had this morning and wanted something different? At any rate, I think I will be spending a good part of...

Ayla the Eco-Friendly Dog

A couple weekends ago, we took Ayla with us down to Munich where a couple friends of our were celebrating moving into their new place. It just so happens that in their back yard is a stream which we decided Ayla just had to play in. She is a water dog, you know....

Newfie Christmas tree pulling

I was catching up on some Newf-L list reading and came across a message about a few dog clubs who are working at local Christmas tree farms by pulling the trees out of the lot. In return they accept tips and donations to their local rescue organization or dog club....

Chicken quesadillas make me go YUM!

Chicken quesadillas make me go YUM!

Last night we had one of my staple favorites in this house which is chicken quesadillas. I love the blend of roasted bell peppers and onions, spicy chicken and gooey cheese between two slightly crunchy tortillas. In fact, one nightt they were particularly good and I...

What a Newf can’t destroy

On Monday, Stefan got his motorcycle license so he can commute to work by bike. Fun times indeed. While we were waiting to go pick up his new motorcycle, we decided to run by the pet store since I needed to go by there anyway. Stefan was hoping to find some sort of...
