It's summer and I know why humans have legs :-) For them to wipe their faces on. Wouldn't want it any other way. I have 4 adult newfies.

Once Iain is about 4 or 5, you can probably get a Nfld dog. Get it in the summer when you have time to train it properly. Your house and backyard are big enough for a Nfld dog. It doesn't require much exercise, but I'm sure it'd do alright. I should look into when the next dog show is happening around here, not just a regular dog show (which is half a freak show if you ask me), but a Newfoundland Dog dog show. As soon as you spend some time with those dogs, you want to get one. We went to that dog show because you guys were thinking about getting a Nfld dog.

Why did we go? I'd get the non-slobbering breed, too. Why would someone get the slobbering kind? I remember seeing the brown ones and the combination black and white ones.

I was helping the owner put the dog in the back of her jeep, because the dog had gotten away from it. As soon as the dog got in the back of the jeep --- its territory --- it bit me, hard. They are an extremely gentle breed, but if they decide to turn on you, you're in trouble. Small children wouldn't have a chance. Still, if I had the room for a Newfoundland dog, I'd get one. I'd look around for a non-slobbering breed. Remember on the variations of the breed we saw at the Newfoundland dog show in St. John's?
