Newt, not cute?

So Newt did not win the cutest pet contest. That is a shame. But since the winner was a generic looking white cat, I can only assume that the ability to win this contest was based upon how many people you knew and got to vote for you. Too bad for Newt, but thank you to all Newt supporters out there. She is still darn cute in our eyes.

Newt and her cone

So Newt had her little operation yesterday. Now she won't be able to be a mommy dog, but will instead lead a casual carefree life of leisure. This of course means the dreaded cone of annoyance is on her head for the time being. The poor little dear can't wait for this ordeal to be over and done with.

Canada Day Camping?

So Newt took the family camping over the Canada Day Long Weekend. Was that a good idea? Not according to Newt. At least any of the outdoor stuff seemed like a bad idea to our little Newt. Fire wasn't an issue but cold damp weather sure was. Once the tent was setup and the family got into it for the night, little Newt sprung to life. The tent, it seems, is just like a big travel crate, which we all know is full of fun. Also, getting to sleep with the people is a big treat, at least for Newt. For the people it was a night of scratching, snoring, chewing and random movements. Ohwell, she needed a little bit of fun.

There will be pictures up on the photo site.

Cycling with Newt

While in Toronto we bought a fancy backpack. It allows Newt to be carried in luxury while we cycle. In other words she gets to nap while we cycle. This was a quick trip to Tim Horton's.

Newt Likes Umbra

What more is there to say. Newt enjoys the Umbra store in Toronto. She is a dog that enjoys design.

Travelling Dog

A trip to Toronto Newt? Sure thing. Thanks to Westjet Newt got to travel in style, as in onboard the airplane. And what a good traveller she is. And how was Toronto for Newt? Well it lacked enough grass nearby for her liking, but the shops and stores were all very kind to her so that was a big plus. And she made some friends at Umbrella Pets.

Newt says, shop at Umbrella Pets while in Toronto. They have good stuff.
