there is nothing better than a dip in a cold pool...even if it is way too small for me....

I live to see another day!

Just a nasty cut on my tongue and some annoying inflammation in my legs.
Nothing I can't handle! Life is pretty good.

off to the vet...

well, I have a lesion underneath my tongue and mom decided it's time to get it checked out. it's probably just from one of the many sticks I've chewed on but it's better to be safe than sorry! I've also been pretty sore in one of my front legs for the last few weeks so we're going to talk to her about that, too. wish us luck!

*love*

but I wanna!

There's a bunch of bushes at the edge of our property...bunnies live there....and squirrels and chipmunks too...but I'm not allowed. This whole "look but don't touch" thing is frustrating!

Dog Park!

I may not be so small any more (60 lbs!) but I'm still fragile and am not allowed to rough house with adult dogs. I can't wait until I'm a big boy and can go to the dog parks! Mom brought me to our local park and she went on and on about how gorgeous this was for a dog park and how excited she was to bring me back when I can play. We checked it out and stayed on the outside of the fence, where I was able to say Hi to some future friends. So fun!

Getting my fruits and veggies

Mom had me try some new foods today. They were all funny looking and 
some were funny tasting, too...but I had fun trying them!

banana, raspberry, carrot and green bean...yum!

the green bean was first....

but I found it more funny than edible, really...

Mom said, "stop playing with your food!"

the raspberry was interesting....

but it grew on me. 

the carrot was an old favorite...I've been eating those since I was a little guy!

the banana.......

"Not the whole thing!" mom said, and so she only gave me half. It was yummy!

I loved swimming in the Mianus River for the first time this weekend! 
Can't wait to go back soon!

How a Newfoundland stays cool...

It's almost 100 degrees today! Staying cool is a must for a dog like me so my mom makes sure I have lots of options. Here are some of my favorite ways to beat the heat!

swimming is my favorite- as long as the water is nice and cool!

cold, damp dirt under a forsythia bush is lovely...

but then i usually need a bath....

so a fan will do the trick!

and thank goodness for air conditioning vents!!


Stay cool, friends! -Hem

dog days

It's a hot day and I've spent most of it in the house because it's nice and cool there!
But when the sun sets behind the Poplar trees and heat rises a bit, I love to lie in the clover beds and watch as the backyard birds come out in search of dragonflies, mosquitos and worms. The clovers have sprouted their sweet flowers and I have to say, they are tempting to taste...but then again, I'll try anything once!
