Hello Everyone!

It's hard to believe our 2 big bears just turned 6 yrs old this week.  I know their birthday is close to Bear's and a few other pups here on BPO.  Don't know where the time flies but, they make us laugh & keep us on our toes everyday! 

Hope all of you are doing well!

Hello Everyone!

Hope this note finds everyone doing well & feeling great!  I can't believe summer is almost over!  Where does the time fly?  We have not been on BPO in such a long time but, we get a chance to lurk once in awhile on the updates. Our family is very, very large and we have had lots of entertaining with guests from all over most of the summer.  Of course all 4 of our pups love company and have enjoyed quite a summer too.  It's all good, we are truly blessed and for that we are so grateful.  Who's life doesn't have bumps in the road, as long as we can get through in one piece! 

Yesterday was my little McKayla Boo's 2nd birthday!  She is an absolute sweet love and had a wonderful day filled with a trip to the doggy store in town for lots of goodies for her & her siblings.  I can't believe how fast time is flying!  Guess that's what happens as you get older!   

I have to get a bunch of photos together to post with updates of our family's farm under renovation and pics of all the pups in their dog days of summer photos!

Sending good thoughts to all!

Hi Paige,

I see that it says you are online on BPO tonight.  Just wanted to see if I can type to you live a quick question in chat?  I don't know how to do this, so please e-mail me if possible!

Thank you,

Hello Everyone,

I hope this note finds all of you doing well and feeling great during this very, hectic time of year.  I wanted to share a wonderful story that involved our 4 wonderful Newfies in helping alert me that my diabetic brother was going into a seizure. 

My brother is a Type I diabetic and has had diabetes since he was a child.  Tonight he was here and his sugar had dropped very low and he was going into a seizure when Klondike started barking very loudly in his hurry up and pay attention bark!  This of course alerted the 3 other pups and they all came running to where my brother was to alert me to the problem.  Thank goodness for all of them because this kind of sound before one goes into a seizure can be very frightening and they were right on it in rescue mode. 

I was thankfully able to get enough cake icing & OJ into my brother to avoid the full blown seizure and he is feeling much better. 

We are simply amazed and blessed by having these 4 wonderful dogs.  This is something not taught of course, it is just in their nature to be on the alert to protect their people. We had experienced this once before when Maddie & Klondike were pups when we were out swimming in the bay and they didn't like how far out we were swimming.  They came out to circle us and make sure we headed back in toward land.  They are constantly on watch in a casual way, especially near the pool when the young kids are over and swimming.

I am still in total disbelief in a way to witness how these great pups, sprang into action without hesitation or any training.  It is so neat how dog's instincts just take over and they now how to get the job done.  Needless to say, our 4 pups, who mind you aren't spoiled at all yet, (HA, HA, sure) are getting extra presents from Santa and got a few extra treats tonight after everything settled down.

Hi Everyone!

Hope this note finds everyone, human & canine doing well & feeling great. I was able to round up our 4 Newfies and take some fun pictures of them today!  Not sure if any of these will be made into cards but, it was laugh riot taking these pictures today!

Enjoy & keep well!

Hello Everyone!

Hope this note finds all of you doing well, humans & canines alike!  It has been a very crazy few months with both of our parents having health isssues, so we haven't been on BPO in a long time.  Thank goodness Mom & Dad are both doing better & I had a quick minute to get on to check out some of the latest posts.  I know lots of people are having difficult times with health issues, family & their Big Paws.  I just hope that things will slow down & get better for everyone very soon.

I wanted to share a few pictures of our crazy Newfies, the porch pic is after they went to the groomer.  They all look ten times bigger with the big ole' fluffy coats!

Keep well.
