I'm on the East Coast too! St. John's Newfoundland. The snow here is just starting to melt and not over the fence of the dog park anymore. We have had the snowy winter (not long though this year) typical of the east coast. Bye the way I love your avatar!!!
I'm in Fredericton, NB. We were over in Nefoundland a few summers ago and absolutley loved it. We had 2 Bernese Mountain dogs with us on that trip, and we were surprised as to how many other tourist thought they were Newf's. Alot of them were disappointed that they hadn't seen a Newf on their trip and were expecting that the island would be full of them
The only one I saw while there was Bosun the mascot on the Scademia - he was pretty cool. Thanks for the comments on my avatar...it's amazing how you can get them to stay still for a little piece of kibble!
