Newfoundland Discussions / Re: stalking approach posture
« on: March 31, 2006, 03:03:04 pm »
I know this as submissive behavior, as that's frequently how other dogs approach mine (who must be dominant). 
I think it's a good thing for you and your newf, though.

You're preaching to the choir, sister! 
My standard of cleanliness took a serious nosedive the day I brought these guys home. 
Hey - what's a little drool among family members? 
Actually, our next "trick" for Bear will be to NOT lean up against people he's trying to make friends with... it usually has the opposite effect after he leaves a foot-long, 5-inch wide swath of drool on them.
Poor guy is just being friendly!

So cute, so funny, and so TRUE! Bear's drool has increased the past few weeks as the weather has been warmer. And you're right, cheese does make bubbles... just don't shake, don't shake! ;)Jennifer

Discussions & Information on Grooming / groomer recommendation in MA?
« on: March 30, 2006, 11:45:21 am »
Anyone from Massachusetts know of a good, reliable, dog-knowledgable groomer? Although we do some grooming on our own, and have frequented the Laundro-mutt in Cambridge (great place!), I like to have the pups done professionally a couple of times per year. Then I take a TON of pics! Anybody? Thanks, Jennifer
Anybody? Thanks, Jennifer

It's perfect for book club -- quick, easy read. I'm just starting Marley 
, so will join the club next month. With a n 8-yr old saint, I hate reading books about dying dogs.

Hey all,
Just wanted to share and recommend any book by Jon Katz. I just finished reading "The Dogs of Bedlam Farm" and LOVED it. Laughed, cried, learned... it has it all! :-) This guy is a dog lover and truly understands the emotional and psychological bond that can occur between dogs and humans.
Pick it up today -- or if you'd like, I'm happy to share mine. Just PM to arrange.

Let's be honest --> last night sucked! 
I'm probably harsh re this show, but remember, they want us to buy an album from these folks AND from the winner. I wouldn't have stayed to watch a free concert of the performances last night. I think anybody could go home, but hope it's either Bucky or Lisa (sorry!). I usually love Taylor, but he bored me. Chris was just shouting, not much sexy energy. And as much as I love Mandisa, I didn't get her song at all. Paris was fun, but I sort of agreed with Simon -- when she made sexy dance moves, I was a little shocked! 
I'm sure it's my issue. All that said, I'll still tune in tonight and next week. I'm hooked!
BTW - My Bear sometimes howls along when he hears operatic voices. Maybe I should audition him for AI next year! Jennifer

I don't have any experience with this, but I'm sad for both your losses, and for your pups missing their friends. Hugs to everyone!

« on: March 28, 2006, 07:21:10 pm »
My Nakita girl is very talkative, but mostly in complaint - whiny, growly, squeaky noises. And she'll bark up a storm if she's not getting her way. Bear, on the other hand, doesn't say much but will put up a loud "woo, woo, woo, woo" when he's excited to go out. I don't know if this is typical of saints though.

« on: March 28, 2006, 03:41:10 pm »
Haha! What fun! My family is absolutely addicted to American Idol. Here it is:
Elliott -- okay voice, but we can't watch him.
Taylor -- great voice and personality, but a bit too goofy.
Ace -- way hot, but a bit on the "dumb blonde" side.
Chris -- too hot for words, way talented, ooooh baby!
Bucky -- needs to go home, maybe this week.
Mandisa -- amazing voice, great presence, should win (but probably won't).
Lisa -- eh, okay voice but bores me.
Paris -- immensely talented and confident, love to watch her.
Catherine -- beautiful and talented but needs a bra.
Kelly -- dumb blonde ('nuf said).
I hate to admit it, but I usually agree with Simon and I really can't stand Paula. But I LOVE the show. I'll post after the show re who should go home (but I'm still hoping it's Bucky).

Saint Bernard General Discussions / Re: all it takes is 4 cookies and mr angus will love you
« on: March 27, 2006, 01:57:10 pm »
This might be too late to matter, but I'm a newbie and just read the post.
My Bear gets similar big pimple pocket-y looking things under his chin a couple of times a year, and sometimes they pop up around his chin as well. We use a vet-recommended soap (Nova-something) on it (he LOVES getting his chin rubbed), washing the area 2-3x/wk, and it goes away in a week or so. But this is probably a different problem as Bear has at no time had trouble eating lol.
Can we have an update on Angus?

Well, I've been lurking for months now and finally decided to jump in! We adopted two Saints almost three years ago and can't imagine life without them. We also have a cat, three turtles, a frog and several fish. Oh, and three teenagers! This is a terrific site - the best I've found - and I've so enjoyed learning and laughing from all of you. Now I look forward to learning and laughing with you. I just finished my paw prints and am trying to figure out an "avatar". Anyway, just wanted to officially say 'hi'!
