Webster my 8 month old newf just seems to stay in trouble. But he is so funny. All the months we've had him, he never bothered our fish pond other than a quick drink. My dh spent a few hours doing some spring cleaning in there, cleaning filters, reviving plants etc, now Web thinks it is just fine to stand in the pond and pull out the grasses and chase the fish etc. EVERYTIME we let him out, he is in the pond..... what a mess. He is also just now starting to chew up things.... ie: a pair of prescription sunglasses, a tube of animax, coasters, candles and that is just today. We are careful not to leave things on the floor, cause then if he eats them, we figure it was our fault. But he is picking things off of table tops! We made it thru potty training with little problems... THIS chewing/getting into everything is a bit frustrating. I keep telling dh he will grow out of it...but I am beginning to wonder. Oh, and have I mentioned the barking. He barks at every noise, real or imagined. He "talks" back when told no. He barks inside to go out and outside to come in. I think he just likes to hear himself. All this.. and we still love him dearly, how can you not love a newf??
