If you’re bored…

Have you ever come across an online game that just grabs your attention? Although it's wildly simple in many ways, this silly little game to test your reflexes and clicking skills will let you know how sharp your senses are in in under a minute....

Company picnic

Today was a pretty long day. We went to see the house at 10 am this morning and met with an architect while we were there. He was pretty much useless which is always great for someone making €150 an hour and we could have done without him being there altogether. But...

Another one bites the dust

Ayla lost her second tooth today (that we've noticed anyway). She was all wound up around 7 pm and was playing in the yard with her yellow kong (which I finally freed from its frozen ice prison) and decided it would be great fun to run full force into the bushes which...

A Dog’s Philosophy

The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. -Anonymous Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went....

Bush love

Let me start by saying that this whole fun experience for her is partially my fault to begin with. When she was smaller, she would jump at the bushes when I was playing with her but she was so small she would basically just bounce right off again...nevermind the...

Weigh in

As of today Ayla weighs 48.5 pounds (22 kilos). That means she has put on about 4.5 pounds (2 kilos) since last week. I'm not sure the phrase "growing like a weed" really even fits here since it's more like growing by leaps and bounds. Obviously we are quite happy to...

The fun continues

So I thought Ayla was still worn out from her morning romp and went upstairs to take a shower. I try to leave her out when I can and like feeling like I can trust her to behave at least a little bit. But apparently I was mistaken and this day is going to hold many...

The first real swim

Today was a pretty big day for Ayla. She got her first real swim at the lake near us. We went out there around 7 pm knowing that a lot of people would be going home already and dogs are not technically allowed to swim there lol. There is a relatively good place to go...

Info about lost pets

Via the Newf List, I was informed about this website http://missingpetpartnership.org/ and I wanted to pass on the information for anyone who may lose a pet in the future. They have tips about relocating your pet, what may cause them to run away, what you should do if...

Finally getting to play with Jule

There are two Newfoundlands in our little village aside from Ayla. We have met one of them, Jule, a few times on the street but never been able to play with her. But today, as Ayla and I started out on the path for our morning walk, I saw Jule running to catch up with...
