We would like to extend our most heartfelt sympathies to Roger Frey and the whole Jolly Roger family on the loss of Barbara after a long illness. The Newfoundland world has lost a true champion and advocate for our beloved gentle giants.

As we celebrate the history of all the president's today- let us remember those lucky leaders who got to share their lives in the White House with Newfs-
Ulysses S. Grant & Faithful, James Buchanan and Lara and Rutherford B. Hayes with Hector. Also in the running were George McGovern and Atticus and Robert Kennedy and Brumis.
Surely each and every one of these men would have had a plank in their campaign platforms of working towards a healthier future for their beloved dogs
(Grant actually threatened dire consequences to his staff should anything happen to Faithful) and if they were alive today, they would have been some of the first to complete the NCA/OFA Health Survey. You too can take part in this important survey
Just like Jeannie Raisch of Canisteo New York, this week's Marvelous Monday Raffle.
Once you have entered your dog(s) in the survey, send an email to raffle@ncacharities.org and be entered in the Marvelous Monday raffle and get your chance to win one of our weekly drawings!

I like to see a newfy dog that packs and hauls and works.
A newfy dog that's got a job, a dog that never shirks.
I like to see a newfy pull a toboggan full of traps.
And pack the bait and keep alert to follow fisher tracks.
She's a newfy dog,
She's the best ever was,
and that's just because,
She's a newfy dog.
