ahhh... water!

If I can't have Outer Cove, gimme Lake Ontario...

but it's just not the same.

A little bit of blessing of the animals at the Catherdral in St. John's... late fall 2011

Newman, me, Po and Mom in Pouch Cove - December 2011

Dad and Newman's first Ontario groom!!

God love Newman - since he was a babe he was taught to lay down and sleep while he's brushed and cut and poked and soaked... he snores during the brush and cut and quite loves the attention, but the soak is not so fun... he is good though.

We are still here:)

This is the back yard of my primary school, St. Christopher's. You can see Newman has left his mark there... We go here to walk and hang out and watch the GO trains go by, which Newman quite loves.

This is Newman at the Barks and Rec dog care centre... He's right in the back next to the red great dane painting in the back right corner. He had a great half hour with this pack of dogs... This was our visit to see if it would be a good fit for a half day a week for Newman - particularly for dog socialization. Too many vaccinations required to attend, so we're gonna find some dog friends in the neighborhood for the next few months.

Above is Dad having a snuggle with Newms...

Below and to the right is Gord from Gander... me and Newman walked down to the grocery store a few weeks ago and I tied him up outside while I went in for a few things. When I came out Gord and his partner Jaqueline were talking to Newman and petting him... we talked about Newfoundland and have made plans to get together for a drink sometime soon...

To the left is Meita, a good friend of Ailsa's - she got quite a crush on Newman at Ailsa's birthday party and so we did a small photo shoot:)

I started this blog in 2005 when Newman first arrived... I was fairly dilligent about posting... but in the last while we haven't kept up... Thanks to 2 dear friends who have been missing the blog and gave me a little nudge... I love doing this...

So, we are back... (a statement which is soo bloggish:) at least for a time.

Our latest of travels and fun...

Kate and Newman

contemplating...

A storm is brewing...

Thanks to Karyn Carpenter for taking these really cool photos of Newman on the beach at Middle Cove!

Newman's first trip to the Barber shop!

It's been a while since Newman appeared here, so we're gonna try and get back at it.

To start - Newman visits the Family Barber Shop on Duckworth St. in St. John's. Ted and George give him a little trim...

Me and Newm's on a walk by the castle!

Oh, it has been a long time since we visited here... but the summer is almost upon us and me and Newman are committing to some new photos and thoughts about Newfoundland, the Newfoundland Dog, and (all of) our lives together.

We start with this:

Our friends Po and Bob returned to Pouch Cove last week and we all gathered at an amazing Kitchen Party in the NLFD tradition - music, beer, dancing and a Newfoundland dog. The gathering was the first to support the newly formed Heritage Group of Pouch Cove. Here is Po and Newm at the party!

Po is one of Newman's favorites!
