Newf and Hound | Hey… It's Jet Here

Hey It’s Jet Here.

Our friend, Miss Jodi, Heart Like a Dog, initiated this great idea to update readers on previous posts. She created a lovely badge to go with her idea and has successfully turned her wonderful idea into a robust blog hop!

Before I begin, may I write a BIG THANK YOU for checking on Mom and I to see how we’re feeling. I’m kerplopping less out on our walks; however, I’m still rather uncomfortable. Mom says I tolerate the first aid spray and the goopy medicine very well. The Cone of Courage remains on 24/7 to defray (VBP) my desire to bite/scratch the area. Mom seems to have improved about 20%; she continues to feel like her head is under water! She kept her promise and rested a good bit last week.

Saturday – Merry Newfmas and Happy Houndlidays

We enjoyed participating in The Pet Blogger Gift Exchange hosted by the fetching Honey and Miss Pamela. Many of you already knew our giftee, Newf and Hound, while several of you looked forward to meeting them. Guess what? Turns out my buddy, Snoopy, lives really close to Hazel, Ernie, Nooner and Foyle and wants to meet them! Super cool!

Sunday – Cone of Courage

We appreciated your feedback which ranged from acknowledging our efforts to “turn our frown, upside down” to making lemonade from lemons, etc… Mom asked me to share she’s glad you found the photo moving. So many of you have my back on this one, I feel the love!

Monday – Scientific Mischief

Yeah, you could relate to Little Miss Bird Dog and my urges to uh… stray from the strict scientific endeavor of participating in this year’s annual Bird Count. Glad you got a kick out of our Boa Leash maneuver! Of course you understood our efforts to keep that arrogant Winchester in line! My BFF, Savannah, requested a quill from that peacock, which, we will happily try to find when he next molts!

Tuesday – Tasty Tuesday Christmas Style

We wished our blogpal community celebrating Christmas the appropriate greetings and asked how to properly do so in a few cultures. We learned that in a few countries, it’s proper to say Happy Christmas, as Merry Christmas might imply (VBP) debauchery! We even learned how to send good wishes in Dutch from Suki, Hiro and Miss Dianda! Vrolijk Kerstfeest!

Wednesday – Now I’m a Leaping Lord

Wowee, wow wow! Can you believe Miss Ann bestowed such a Royal title on ‘ol Jetty boy? Thanks for the positive feedback on my new skills. I think that I may be ready to learn the game of kings… POLO! Several pals worried about my ego… I want to quash (VBP) the notion that I will change as a result of my recent Royal titles… I remain your humble Jetty. If I begin to show any difference, Mom PROMISES to keep me in line!

Thursday – The Little Thingies

So glad you feel the same way about gratitude for the “basics” (which are really a big deal, especially for those of us who had “before” times we do not want to think about.) We all agree to take time each day to remind ourselves of how fortunate we are. I’ll remind you, if you remind me!

As for my digression regarding the recent appointment of a new Secretary of State, our friends at the DogDaz Zoo wrote, “And you are so right about a Golden for Sec of State.” I really feel Bo’s Dad made a mistake – there, I said it again!

Another great Follow Up Friday holiday edition.

Hey It’s Jet Here.

When we read about Honey’s Pet Blogger’s Gift Exchange, we just knew we had to participate. We emailed the fetching Honey and Miss Pamela and then… we found out our secret match, our pals at Newf and Hound!

Here are the rules:

Share encouragement and compliments – Easy Peasy!
Link up here – No problem!
Share on any and all social media – Hmpf… as you know, Mom limits me to blog only!

When we first met long haired dachshunds, Ernie, Hazel and Nooner, we got a kick out of the fact that they shared their forever home with Foyle the Newfoundland! You can read how that all came about here. You know how Mom feels about fluffy fur, so, we were hooked right away. Furthermore, they live in Mom’s favorite area of the U.S., San Francisco.

We love the diversity of subject matter, ranging from:

Their hiking adventures – you have to see the three petite Doxies keeping up with Foyle!
Bucket Babe – Fashion. Little Miss Fashion Plate ogled (VBP – Vocab Builder Project) the dachshund dress and thought a fall, auburn colored golden retriever pattern would look lovely, too!
DJ Track and Hound – they share playlists for different activities.
Foyle Fridays.
Nooner News.
Crafts – This week’s project showed how to put the crew on wooden coasters with Mod Podge!
Training and Techniques – Check out the post where Foyle chases a coconut!
Treats and Food – we both posted reviews of chicken jerky on the same day! Great minds…
Letterpress posts show you how to make or where to purchase a variety of pressed prints or die cut items.
Landscape Design posts might discuss sustainable outdoor doghouses, planting a front yard garden or a water trough garden. This topic appeals to our Kitchen K9 side as does the Treats and Food category!
One of our favorite categories carries the name – Make This Buy That. No judgement, simply two options with links to resources. We especially enjoyed the Raised Dog Feeder and the Raised Dog Bed. Mom would like to know if a handy manly-man arrives with the instructions!

We have to find out whether the NewfandHound’s human is affiliated with Etsy or simply enjoys viewing Etsy sites, because we read lots of Etsy references! NewfandHound has a modern, clean format which we appreciate. The tone of the writing stays modern too. (Their tag line is “We are 4 modern dogs living in a modern world! Join us on our adventures!” after all!) We would add the adjectives informative, creative, interesting, playful, and positive with gorgeous photos to boot!

Visit NewfandHound to see what Ernie, Hazel, Nooner and Foyle are up to. Wish them a Merry Newfmas and Happy Houndlidays and let them know that Jetty sent ya!

Another great NewfandHound day!

Thanks to Life With Dogs, Confessions of the Plume and Two Little Cavaliers for hosting the Saturday Blog Hop.
