Happy 1st Birthday Newt

 

The 7th of Jan, 2009 was Newt's first birthday. Here is a picture of her with her mom and 2 sisters. Newt is the one hanging out with Mom (Pixie).

Newt's New Coat

Hey a new coat for Newt. With winter here a tiny Chihuahua needs to stay warm. And why not be fashionable while doing it. This handsome Burberry style tartan is sure easy on the eyes and goes so well with Newt's coat and harness. Made locally by Brenda of Brenda's Dog Dudz.

Newt Calls Road Trip "Success"

Well Newt is back, safe and sound in Nova Scotia. All is good in her world. She did seem to enjoy the road trip though. We covered many States and 2 Canadian Provinces (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia). Of all the States Newt enjoyed Maryland and New York State the best. Maine was considered cold and Pennsylvania slightly odd. Perhaps camping the last 2 States did not help her form a good opinion of those places.

We have learned that Newt is generally a trustworthy driver, though may sometimes sleep at the wheel or start to daydream, or even start biting any available noses. We also learned that Newt almost always has the sneaky ability to get into places that dogs aren't supposed to go, such as the beautiful Longwood Gardens . She did not, however, get to enjoy the Walters Art Gallery or Baltimore Aquarium, instead spending the day in luxury at the Petsmart Hotel.

So enjoy the pictures that Newt took of her trip in the newly added album link on the sidebar. And fully appriciate the beauty of the DeLorean that Newt found in a parking lot.

Newt votes Brewster, NY as "An Awesome Place"

Newt is currently on her road trip along the eastern seaboard of America. So far of the many places she has stopped to have a smell of, Brewtser, NY has been voted most awesome. Particularly it is the Citgo gas station that has lead to this great award for Brewster.

Pictures of Newt's adventure will appear once a suitable upload station is found.

Stay tuned for Newt's take on Baltimore, MD. Could it also be "Awesome?" Who knows.

Newt at Cleveland Beach

So Newt isn't a traditional beach dog, but then again she is also only 7 months old so she hasn't figured out what she is just yet. The water is too cold, the wind is too much and there are too many people and dogs. But the beach does have sand and sand is fun. Digging holes and eating yummy sand makes the beach worth while for Newt. It doesn't make her evening with an upset belly any fun though.

Newt at Keji

We headed to Kejimkujik for a little camping. For those that don't know it is in Nova Scotia and is a great National Park. I think that Newt actually enjoyed most of the camping trip this time around (rather than Graves Island). But most of all she loves her tent.

Newt says "Stay away from my froggie"

Newt loves her froggie. She loves everything about him. He squeeks when squeezed, he has tastey toes and a lovely bit of fluffy hair on his head. And at one point he had great eyes. So remember, stay clear of froggie unless you want some trouble.
