Halloween for Pups

Newt's New Friend

Well it happened. Newt got a buddy. A new BFF as it were. Freya has come to join the family. A cute little Long haired Chihuahua. Well BFF might be a bit strong just yet. newt does have to get over the shock of sharing her love with us, but soon I am sure she will come around and figure out that a playmate her own size will be a good idea. Plus this way newt can hide while children poke at Freya. A win win situation for them as Freya is far more accepting of little kids.

Newt is getting prepped for her first dog show

Tomorrow we will be headed to the Halifax Kennel Club's Winter/Spring dog show in Halifax, NS. Newt is entered as an exhibition dog in the Rally-O competition. That basically means we will be sitting around an watching and if there is a chance maybe stepping into the ring to see what the fuss is all about.

Newt's too new in the Rally-O game (as are we the owners) to bothering entering the competition for real this time, but we felt it would be a good chance for Newt to get accustomed to the sights, sounds, and smells of a dog show.

But of course that means tonight will be bath, comb and nail clipping time. Our girl has to look her best. I will try and post pictures of the procedure later on and hopefully get some pictures at the show.

Christmas Wishes (a little late)

 

Sometimes you have to wonder why dogs put up with us. Oh yeah, they can't work the can opener.

I love my bone

 

As a dog, all I can say is that a pink Nyla Bone is a good thing.

Swimming Newt

 

All dogs like to jump in the water on a hot summer day. Well Newt may not like jumping in so much, but it sure was a nice way to cool down. The life jacket helps when you are really small and not used to swimming just yet.

Hey a New Car for Newt!

 

Yes, Newt decided she wanted a new car. So her and Elizabeth worked out a deal to trade in the 1988 Volvo Wagon for something much more shiney. Welcome Mazda 5, a true giant cavern for Newt to explore.
