An Update About Wally

Jody posted this at 12:14 pm under personal

Wally at 5 monthsOur Newfoundland dog, Wally, is five months old and weighs 60 pounds, which is average for the breed. He’s not fat nor skinny. We feed him about six cups of dry food (Canidae) a day, which is mixed with a little water and canned food. He’s forever hungry.

His jowls are developing now, such that he drools occasionally. His eyes are beginning to have that bagged look, too; more fluid is beginning to collect around them, but nothing excessive or gross.

He still stumbles at times, still getting used to his fast growth. He’s loosing his baby teeth with some adult teeth coming in.

He doesn’t shed, but we brush him a few times every week. His coat is soft - he gets complimented on it a lot.

He’s sociable around people and dogs - very friendly.

He shits about 10 shovel-fulls a day.

    “He shits about 10 shovel-fulls a day.”

    LOL!

    I clean up Otis’ crap everytime I mow the front yard. I think most of the time he craps in the woods or somewhere else besides our front yard. I haven’t heard any/many complaints yet. There are a lot of dogs on our road that roam pretty freely along with cats. No one cares really. Much different then suburbia.

    Wally still looks as cute as he did when you first got him.

    yeah..steph has been following what she can here about Wally…thanks to you her restrained and unsatieted desire to have an english sheep dog has surfaced with unyielding vigor….I believe in the near future I may have a slighty smaller (than wally,) but just as prolific biological pooping machine….

    small appliances?

    Headphones, books, shoes… that’s all I can think of now. Whole orange and such, but that’s no big deal.

    > I came across your site throught seagirts

    I couldn’t find a link to this site from seagirt’s site. If a link exists, can you post it here?

    I can’t imagine getting any other breed of dog now that I have a Newf. I should post more about him.
